Bottling : Screw Capper (Zalkin) – B001176

Zalkin Screw Capper
Item: B001176

The Zalkin TM135 is a single-head automatic capper designed for low-to-medium speed bottling lines, particularly in wine, spirits, and specialty beverage applications. It handles both ROPP (Roll-On Pilfer Proof) aluminum closures and certain screw-on caps (Lux / Novatwist) for glass, PET, and aluminum bottles.

• Maximum demonstrated speed: up to 1800 bottles/hour in wine bottle sealing applications
• Rated speed in some literature: up to 1800 caps/hour depending on closure and container configuration
• Closure diameter range:  18–120 mm standard; some custom applications reported beyond this range
• Container types: Glass, PET, and aluminum bottles
• Motion type: Intermittent starwheel bottle handling with continuous capping action

Performance Features:

• Integrated cap elevator built into the machine frame, reducing footprint and simplifying installation.
• Fast bottle and cap change-overs, making it suitable for multiple SKUs and shorter production runs.
• Direct cap pick-off system for accurate cap placement.
• “No cap/no roller action” on ROPP versions helps prevent bottle thread damage and misapplication.
• Adjustable sealing head and relatively simple maintenance requirements.

Typical Applications

The TM135 is commonly used for:

• Wine bottling (ROPP closures)
• Distilled spirits
• Specialty beverages
• Small to medium production lines requiring up to about 50 containers per minute
• Realistic Production Expectations
• For a screw-cap wine operation, users generally plan around 1,400–1,800 bottles/hour sustained output, allowing for minor stops and cap replenishment.
