1 Introduction
1.1 FS10 / FS32
FS10 and FS32 are both semi-automatic capping machines designed for crimping aluminium caps.
FS10 is designed for crimping 8 mm, 13 mm and 20 mm standard crimp caps* with or without flip-off
plastic disc.
FS32 is mainly designed for 20mm and 32 mm caps*, also with or without flip-off plastic disc.
Crimping is performed by pressing the bottle or vial against the bottle holder. This causes the crimp
head to move down onto the bottle, the jaws close around the cap, pressure is applied, the jaws
release and the head lifts again.
All used compressed air is collected and can be removed through a hose mounted on the side of the
cabinet.
