Technical Specifications & Performance DataThis cap sorter is
engineered to reliably sort and orient closures for high-efficiency
beverage and industrial packaging lines. Manufactured by MESAL in
2011, it is configured for 28mm screw caps, making it a strong fit for
many standard neck finishes in modern bottling operations. As part of
a used bottling line or as a standalone auxiliary, it supports
consistent cap feed quality to downstream capping machines.Machine

context: Designed for bottle closures commonly used with PET and Glass
containersAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThe cap sorter supports
automated cap orientation with sensor-guided rejection of misaligned
closures and smooth discharge to the cap chute or cap elevator feeding
the capping turret. Typical integration includes interlocked operation
with upstream and downstream equipment, level management in the cap
hopper, and safety-guarded access points to protect operators during
routine adjustments and replenishment.Automated orientation for

orientation qualityInterlocks for safe operation during loading and
maintenanceQuick-access guards for routine cleaning and
inspectionsProduction Line Integration CapabilitiesDesigned to
integrate seamlessly into beverage production and industrial packaging
environments, this cap sorter interfaces with a wide range of rotary
and linear capping machines. It can operate inline or as a dedicated
auxiliary module with an elevator or bowl feeder, ensuring
uninterrupted cap supply across various production speeds. Format
handling focuses on 28mm screw closures, with potential adaptability
to common sub-variants through appropriate change parts.Compatible

for PET and Glass bottle closure workflowsMachine Condition &
Maintenance HistoryWith a manufacturing year of 2011, this pre-owned
component reflects industrial-grade construction tailored for
continuous-duty operation. MESAL engineering emphasizes durable
materials and accessible maintenance points, enabling streamlined
cleaning and inspection. As a second hand asset, it is suited for
integration into a used bottling line, offering reliable performance
when installed and commissioned according to best
practices.Operational Performance & VersatilityThe 28mm screw-cap
configuration covers a broad range of beverage production needs in
water, juice, beer, wine, and other lines that use compatible
closures. Consistent sorting and orientation help stabilize downstream
capping torque performance and reduce stoppages due to cap misfeeds.
Its compact footprint and proven closure handling ensure dependable
uptime and quality presentation at the capping station.Stable cap flow
for consistent capping torque controlReduced misfeed-induced stops and
improved OEEApplicable across diverse beverage packaging scenarios
using 28mm screw capsInstallation Requirements & Site PreparationThe
cap sorter is typically installed adjacent to the capping machine with
direct connection via cap chute or transfer rail. Standard industrial
utilities and mounting provisions are used. Ensure adequate space for
safe operator access, cap loading, and routine cleaning. Proper
alignment and vibration isolation support smooth cap transport and
minimize wear.Position near capping turret with clear access for cap
