COLANAR - Model CMC 1000 - Crimp Capping Machine for Pharmaceutical Applications
The CMC 1000 is a compact benchtop crimp capping machine specifically designed for pharmaceutical applications involving aluminum crimp caps. This device is engineered to accommodate all aluminum cap styles, featuring a stainless steel exterior to align with pharmaceutical sterilization procedures. Operated via a two-hand control system, the machine simplifies the changeover to different cap sizes within minutes. The operator manually places the crimp cap onto the vial, which is then lifted automatically to the plunger to initiate the crimping process, facilitated by a pneumatic mechanism. The built-in pressure sensor allows for precise head pressure adjustments, and the cam-controlled crimping disc ensures accurate application. Designed for both standalone use in laboratories and integration with vial and bottle filling systems, the CMC 1000 supports up to 20 vials per minute, with a size range accommodating diameters of up to 55 mm and heights up to 150 mm. Weighing approximately 30 kg and measuring 470 x 250 x 500 mm, it offers a small footprint and efficient operation.
This compact bench top crimp capping machine has been developed for pharmaceutical aluminum crimp cap applications. It is suitable for all aluminum cap styles. All exposed surfaces are stainless steel. The CMC crimp capping machine is operated via two-hand control. Changeover to a different cap size is accomplished easily in a few minutes.
After the operator has manually placed a crimp cap onto the vial, the container is placed in the designated size part. By activating the two-hand control, the vial is automatically lifted to the plunger and the crimping process is activated. This movement is performed pneumatically. Through the built-in pressure sensor the head pressure can be adjusted. The plunger rotates the vial. The crimping disc is cam controlled and swivels in place toward the crimp cap. After the crimping process is completed, the vial is returned to the starting position where it is manually removed by the operator.
This system is suitable for stand-alone applications in laboratories, as well as for integration into vial and bottle filling machines.
