A capper designed to operate without generating particulates eliminates moving belts. Air-conveyor vial transport combined
with electromagnetic technology borrowed from the automotive and aerospace industries applies caps without marring, breaking,
or scratching. Three models handle 2-mL vials at speeds ranging from 100 vials/min to 305 vials/min. A universal cap-feeder
bowl feeds 12- 20- or 37-mm caps with a simple track change. Changeover requires no tools and can occur in less than 30 min
