Based on the solid and proven ICP-AC1 range of auto capers, the PLC version is a leap forward in the evolution of what has shown to be already a high-quality caper. PLC version allows for finer tuning of the caper with up to 8 different timer functions. More importantly, the ability to accurately recall previous settings for easy changeover of different containers/caps.
The ICP-AC1 is a PLC driven pneumatic capping machine designed and built in Sydney by ICP Packaging Machines Australia. Designed to mount onto a running conveyor belt, the cap tightener is adjustable for containers from 0 to 450mm tall.
A unique feature of the ICP range of cappers is that, unlike traditional capping machines that only work by a simple single timer (which can result in under or over-tightening), our ICP cappers have air torque motors designed to stall out at a given torque that is infinitely adjustable. The tightening head simultaneously descends onto the bottle.
PLC functions include multiple timer controls for every function on the machine, allowing the user to fine-tune each function. Also, giving the ability to hold a sensor signal or make the jaws steady the container before the air motor descends, and more importantly, the ability to recall the previous setting into the PLC, saving the need to re-calibrate the machine on every change-over.
NEW 2026 model: features a floating motor design, meaning the chuck shaft is no longer directly attached to the motor. This provides more consistent and reliable torque to the cap and eliminates lateral load on the motor shaft.
