Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Used Arol Capping
Machine 3T is a robust, second hand rotary capper engineered for
consistent aluminum ROPP/Stelvin closures in glass wine bottles. With
three capping heads and a 4-roller closing system per head, it
delivers reliable thread forming and seal integrity at steady speeds
suited to small and mid-size beverage production. Manufacturer /
Model: Arol 3 T Year: 1989 Production speed: up to 3,500 bph (bottles
per hour) No. of heads: 3 rotary capping heads Closure type: Aluminum
ROPP/Stelvin screw caps Cap size: 30 x 60 Closing system: 4-roller
head configuration for precise thread forming and sealing Caps
feeding: Vibrating bowl distributor with chute Container type: Glass
Bottle formats: 0.75 L; tooling set-up for two bottle sizes Bottle
flow: Entry from the left (line direction left-to-right) Frame &
surfaces: Stainless steel cladding for hygienic operation Electrical:
380V, 50Hz Safety: Safety features and guards included Advanced
Automation & Control Systems Designed for dependable industrial
packaging, the Arol 3T features an electromechanical control platform
with a variable-speed drive (mechanical variator) to synchronize
throughput with upstream rinsing and filling, and downstream labeling.
Operators benefit from straightforward set-up, stable torque control
during capping, and adjustable vibration on the cap sorter to maintain
consistent cap flow. Drive & speed control: Variable speed via
mechanical variator Control interface: Practical operator panel with
essential machine functions Power: 380V, 50Hz for European industrial
environments Safety systems: Interlocked guards and emergency stop
functions Production Line Integration Capabilities This rotary capper
integrates seamlessly into a used bottling line as the capping turret
following a rinser and filler, and ahead of a labeler or capsule
applicator. It accepts left-hand infeed and standard conveyor
interfaces, allowing straightforward tie-in with accumulation tables,
conveyors, and inspection devices. While dedicated to glass bottles
with 30x60 ROPP caps, it can operate within beverage production lines
that also handle PET, glass, or aluminum containers at other
processing stages such as rinsing, filling, and labeling. Tooling for
two bottle formats enables faster format changes Compatible with
common wine line layouts and ancillary equipment Suitable for
integration with level inspectors, cap presence detectors, and
rejection systems Machine Condition & Maintenance History Condition:
In storage. This second hand Arol capper is complete with safety
guards, cap sorter, and stainless steel cladding. Prior to start-up in
a new plant, typical recommissioning steps include inspection of
closing heads, replacement of wear parts (rollers, bearings, chucks as
applicable), and verification of electrical connections and
lubrication. A functional test and alignment with the chosen filler
and conveyors are recommended to secure nominal 3,500 bph performance.
Operational Performance & Versatility Optimized for 0.75 L glass
bottles with 30x60 Stelvin closures, the machine delivers consistent,
finish-friendly thread formingâideal for wine and other still
products that specify ROPP closures (e.g., select spirits or edible
oils when equipped with suitable change parts). The 4-roller system
minimizes cap damage and ensures repeatable application torque,
supporting product quality in demanding industrial packaging
environments. Not intended for crown caps or plastic screw caps, it
excels as the capping module in glass lines for wine and similar
beverages. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Electrical
supply: 380V, 50Hz Utilities: Compressed air required for the
vibrating cap sorter (typical for ROPP systems) Layout: Left-hand
bottle entry; position downstream of filler, upstream of labeler
Access: Adequate perimeter clearance for guard opening, format
changes, and routine maintenance Conveyors: Standard-height glass
bottle conveyors with stable guide rails for 0.75 L Safety Standards &
Compliance Certification Supplied with safety features including fixed
and interlocked guards, emergency stop devices, and protective
enclosures around moving parts. Stainless steel cladding supports
hygienic practices typical in beverage production. Final conformity to
local regulations should be verified during installation; risk
assessment, lockout/tagout procedures, and operator training are
recommended to align with plant safety systems.
