®
ROTARY CAPPER
The Road Runner® is a continuous motion rotary plugging / capping system designed for reliability and accurate high-speed operations. Available in many configurations the Road Runner® can comfortably perform at speeds ranging from 40 to 600 bottles per minute depending on the number of capping heads selected. The precise “Pick & Place” system ensures that the Road Runner® can easily handle a wide range of applications such as a child proof, R.O.P.P, aluminum, press-on with or without an orientation system (Intellichuck™), press or screw pumps and over caps.
16
ROAD RUNNER®
The final torque is controlled by either magnetically calibrated slip clutches or servo motors which are programmable directly from the touch screen control. Quality of the finished product can also be inspected with special sensors or vision systems to ensure that every bottle coming out of the system has a well positioned cap with the right pre-set applied torque. As a new addition to the RoadRunner® family, the ROADRUNNERX5TM incorporates all the latest technology available for capping in the packaging industry. Regulations and requirements are constantly changing and expectations are consequently evolving. With a fully servo driven operating system, precision, speed and control is what makes it unique. The technology incorporated in this capper allows for complete electronic management and feedback at your fingertips and eliminates the need of additional integrity options. As the industry changes the machines must change also but the ROADRUNNERX5TM is definitely ahead of its time.

LABELSTAR
®
INLINE LABELERS
The LabelStar® family of inline pressure sensitive labeling machines is a flexible and reliable way to handle all types of bottles at speeds of up to 300 BPM*. LabelStar® was launched over 25 years ago offering efficient, versatile and easy to handle pressure sensitive labeling systems for the Pharmaceutical industry.
Three platforms were introduced: 1. LabelStar® System 1 - For round bottles (Wrap Around) 2. LabelStar® System 2 - For any bottle shape (Front & Back, Wrap Around, etc.) 3. LabelStar® System 3 - For top and/or bottom labeling
18
LABELSTAR®
Capmatic® developed the LabelStar® with the Pharmaceutical industry always in mind. With that philosophy a stainless steel mono-frame base was developed in which we integrated all electronic and mechanical components ensuring a smooth, easy to clean finish. All machines can be equipped with a wide variety of options. Any type of coding device can be coupled with the latest in quality verification systems such as bar code scanners, vision inspection systems, OCV inspection of the lot #/expiration date, label code verification and label presence options. All inspections that fail will result in the defective container being positively rejected. As an extension to the LabelStar® family, the RotoStarTM rotary labeler was conceived for complex labeling applications. With its fully servo driven control system the RotoStarTM can be configured to apply labels for a multitude of applications and can also be coupled with and outserting station for top or side insertions. This high-speed labeling machine boasts the most up to date technology thus allowing it to perform complex tasks not only for labeling but also for outserting.

PHARMASTAR™
ROTARY LABELER FOR ROUND BOTTLES The PharmaStar™ is a high-speed pressure sensitive labeling machine for round bottles using a special starwheel system to properly present the bottles to the labeling applicator. Since the bottles are guided inside a starwheel pocket by inline rollers, the system relies on the entire body of the bottle to properly present itself to the peal plate ensuring perfect placement of the label every time.
20
PHARMASTAR™
The PharmaStar™ comes with the most recently designed labeling heads from the Capmatic® engineering team, the HS 100 & HS 150. These heads utilize a stepper motor capable of handling labels up to 150 mm in height and can dispense labels at speeds of up to 90 meters per minute (292 feet per minute). The PharmaStar™ automatically keeps track of every faulty container throughout the system ensuring that all flawed containers are discarded onto a motorized accumulation conveyor. Besides the standard reject system, the PharmaStar™ can be equipped with Capmatic® unique Faulty Label Reconciliation System “FLRS”. This system is designed to reject any faulty label before it is applied onto the bottle. The faulty label is applied onto an independent backing paper to ensure easy reconciliation of the faulty labels and to comply with track-and-trace requirements, this results in minimal waste as a bottle will no longer be rejected due to a faulty label.

BANDSTAR™
BODY SLEEVE AND SAFETY SEAL The BandStar™ banding system was designed to exceed industry standards for body and neck banding applications. With an arsenal of options available at its disposal, it can easily handle the variety of applications required for the various industries in the packaging world. It was engineered and designed for efficiency, reliability and simplicity. With change-overs always being the threshold, the BandStar™ features a self-centering mandrel to ease the change-over process and provide a more fluid user experience.
ServoHeartTM cutting system.
The SleeveStar™ is at the top end of Capmatic® line of body and neck banding systems. With its specially engineered ServoHeart™ cutting system it can easily handle any application at high-speeds with acute precision. Quality, speed and performance is the foundation upon which it was engineered and designed but when talking about neck or body banding the application part is only half the battle, the other half is the actual shrinking. Complementing Capmatic® line of body and neck banding machines is the extended family of LabelStar® tunnels. These tunnels were formulated to provide balance to the application portion of the process. With an array of options and the possibility of incorporating either air or steam shrink tunnels, a quality application is guaranteed for every bottle. The Capmatic® line of body and neck banding equipment offers peace of mind in knowing that every bottle represents superiority as a finished product. TM

MINI FIGHTER™
ELECTRONIC TABLE - TOP COUNTING SYSTEMS
MINI FIGHTER™ Designed and engineered with the same technology and components as the StreetFighterTM, the Mini FighterTM serves as a table-top validation tool to assist with the QA process. It simplifies and accelerates the verification process of the count accuracy in the filled containers from the packaging line all while providing a privileged level of reliability.
MINI FIGHTER™ PLUS The Mini FighterTM Plus, a direct successor of the StreetFighterTM was developed for small batch counting as either a semi-automatic table-top unit, to be automated as an independent component on a line or to be integrated directly on a Capmatic® Monoblock. Bolstering an acute level of quality, reliability and accuracy, its versatility and performance directly compliment the design of its father, the StreetFighterTM.

LINE INTEGRATION A ND MANAGEMENT Line equipment options and integration are important on any project, they ensure efficiency of the line and a quicker return on investment. Capmatic® is a solution provider and a detailed analysis of the project is always performed to ensure that the most appropriate equipment is proposed. On occasion, customer requirements demand a need for peripheral equipment that may not always be part of Capmatic® manufacturing program or expertise. In these cases we are always open to recommend specific options based on our experience in the industry or to incorporate machines selected by our customers.
DATA ACQUISITION & REMOTE MONITORING Line Monitoring Systems allow you to effectively follow and record the efficiency of the operation for each piece of equipment on the packaging line. These systems continuously monitor all machines and accurately record downtime. They can also be used to generate reports that include OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency), total production and rejects. This approach helps to free up personnel from the task of data collection and processing and it also eliminates the risk of inaccurate data entry.
SERVICE & SUPPORT As part of the customer support service, Capmatic® established the validation department to assist customers in qualifying equipment with documentary evidence in a format that compliments the customers requirements. The quality and reliability of our equipment, along with our excellent service, engineering departments and 90,000 square foot facility in Montreal have made Countlab® and Capmatic® a leader in the packaging industry.
