Cap Cooler
The "Cap Cooler" machine from Frigel was specially designed for cooling caps before they are discharged into the collecting box.
The extremely effective cooling action grants the caps a temperature only 3°C higher than the ambient temperature. The Cap Cooler produces a uniform cooling of the complete cap, thus granting regular shrinkage and constant quality of the products. Ovalisation and deformation are therefore reduced to a minimum.
- The Frigel Cap Cooler is designed to uniformly cool plastic caps after moulding, ensuring dimensional stability and consistent quality by minimising ovalisation and deformation. Key features include:
- Effective Cooling: Reduces cap temperature to approximately 3°C above ambient, ensuring uniform shrinkage.
- Energy Efficiency: Low energy consumption with fan power options of 3 kW or 4 kW, depending on the model.
- Adjustability: Accommodates various cap sizes and production outputs; variable speed drives for fans and drum tumblers allow easy adjustment for different product types.
- Construction: All stainless steel surfaces in contact with caps; compact design mounted on wheels (adjustable legs optional).
- Optional Features: Available with H13 HEPA air inlet filters for enhanced air quality; special versions for ambient temperatures exceeding 38°C.
- Compact Footprint: Occupies minimal floor space, approximately 0.95 m².
Two models are available:
- CAP/SF: Fan power of 3 kW, gearmotor power of 0.13 kW, dimensions 1257 mm (L) x 757 mm (W) x 1709 mm (H), weight 262 kg.
- CAP/HF: Fan power of 4 kW, gearmotor power of 0.25 kW, dimensions 2000 mm (L) x 575 mm (W) x 1722 mm (H), weight 270 kg.
Both models operate with noise levels below 80 dB and are available in power supplies of 400V/50Hz, 380V/60Hz, or 460V/60Hz.
The key benefits of the Frigel Cap Cooler include:
1. Enhanced Product Quality - Ensures uniform cooling to minimise deformation and ovalisation of caps, leading to higher dimensional stability and consistent quality.
2. Energy Efficiency - Low energy consumption with optimised fan and motor power, reducing operational costs.
3. Flexibility and Adaptability -Accommodates a variety of cap sizes and production outputs with adjustable speed settings for fans and drum tumblers.
4. Compact and Practical Design - Small footprint (approximately 0.95 m²), saving valuable floor space in production facilities. Stainless steel construction ensures durability and hygiene.
5. Improved Operational Environment - Operates at noise levels below 80 dB, creating a quieter working environment. Optional HEPA filters enhance air quality for cleaner operations.
6. Suitability for Extreme Conditions - Special versions available for ambient temperatures exceeding 38°C, ensuring reliable performance in critical environments.
7. Versatility in Power Supply - Compatible with various power configurations (400V/50Hz, 380V/60Hz, or 460V/60Hz), offering adaptability to different regions and setups.
