Used ROPP Capping Machine Arol 6 Heads 6000 BPH


The Used ROPP Capping Machine Arol 6 Heads 6000 BPH is a rotary capping system designed to apply aluminium roll-on pilfer-proof (ROPP) closures with high precision and consistent performance. This unit is equipped with six dedicated capping heads, each configured for accurate roll-forming of aluminium screw caps directly onto bottles, ensuring a secure seal and tamper-evident band formation. The machine is designed for continuous operation within high-speed bottling lines and is capable of achieving a nominal maximum output of 6,000 bottles per hour under optimal working conditions.


The capping process employed by this equipment involves positioning the aluminium closure over the bottle neck and applying a controlled rolling action that forms the cap’s threads in perfect alignment with the bottle’s neck finish. The result is a closure that is both secure and easy to open by the end user, with the anti-tamper band remaining intact until the first opening. The ROPP closure technology is widely used across the beverage and liquid food industries for wine, spirits, oil, juices, and other products requiring an airtight, tamper-proof seal.


This machine operates in an anticlockwise rotation and has been configured to handle multiple bottle formats. Among the supported formats are standard Bordolese bottles, larger Bordolese variants, and two additional format types adaptable through format change parts. Format changeover is performed by replacing the necessary components, allowing the operator to configure the machine for the required bottle height, diameter, and closure specifications.


Technical Operation and Capabilities


The Used ROPP Capping Machine Arol 6 Heads 6000 BPH is built around a rotary turret design, where bottles are fed into the starwheel infeed system, indexed into position beneath each capping head, and securely held during the capping cycle. The six heads operate in a continuous motion, ensuring that each bottle is capped while the turret rotates, eliminating the stop-and-go motion typical of inline systems and enabling higher throughput.


Each capping head is engineered with precision rolling elements and spring-loaded mechanisms to accommodate minor variations in bottle height and neck profile, ensuring consistent closure application without damaging the glass or deforming the aluminium caps. The rolling knives or rollers in each head are adjustable to match the closure specifications, allowing fine-tuning for the correct thread formation and tamper band application.

The machine’s mechanical synchronization ensures that bottle transfer from the conveyor into the starwheel, through the capping cycle, and onto the discharge conveyor occurs without misalignment or cap displacement. An integrated bottle clamping system holds each container securely during the capping operation, preventing rotation of the bottle while allowing the cap to be formed precisely.
