Neck Grip offers state-of-the-art neck handling
technology for optimum run time, maximum fill accuracy
and minimum change over requirements. Traditional
container starwheels have been replaced by a proprietary neck clamping system
that grips the container throughout filling, providing fully programmable neck
support and position control. Neck Grip “hands-off” the container
at each of the critical transfer points; at no point in the filling system is
the container without a positive hold. Neck Grip is ideal for large and small
containers alike, in high speed applications, and with lightweight PET containers.
The neck-only handling makes this Neck Grip technology ideal for production requiring
frequent container size and height changeover, non-contact filling or systems
using air-conveyors.
How It Works:
Fed to the filling system pneumatically or mechanically, the container is clamped
below the neck ring, and lifted to the valve for contact filling or kept on plane
for non- contact filling. Once filled, the container is transferred to a point
where the next clamp grabs the neck, releasing the first clamp so that the container
can be transferred to the capper.
Benefits:
• Ultimate container control for higher throughput with less spillage
• Handles containers by the neck, eliminating changeover required for smaller
bottle of equivalent neck size
• Integrated with tribloc rinser, filler, capper
• Allows lighter PET bottles in contact filling, without bottle paneling
or denting
• Ideal for gravity, pressure gravity and non-contact filling
• Easily fed with air conveyor
• Reduces mechanical systems, including lift pedestals
• Easier cleaning
