What it is

The cap sorter is the upstream equipment of the capper that receives caps in bulk, orients them in the correct position (thread down) and feeds the descent chute. Its function is to guarantee a continuous, orderly flow to the turret heads, without line jams.

Gromar manufactures custom sorters, calibrated for the cap type in use and the line speed. Each unit ships with automatic stop sensors, disc gap adjustment and motor speed configurable at 22-25 rpm (up to 8 heads) or 28-30 rpm (more than 8).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the manufacturing lead time for a custom cap sorter?

Lead time is quoted per project, as it depends on the specification. The main factors are cap type (28 mm, 38 mm or special geometries), line speed, sorter disc diameter and the level of hopper customization. Projects with standard caps and known geometry ship faster; entirely new sorters require a preliminary engineering phase.

Does Gromar service and retrofit sorters already in operation?

Yes. We retrofit existing sorters, including disc gap adjustment, replacement of worn parts, speed recalibration and adaptation to a new cap format. We work both on original OEM equipment and on sorters from other brands — just send photos, model and a description of the problem for technical analysis.

What is the adjustable speed range of the sorter?

The motor is configurable between 22 and 30 rpm. The choice depends on the number of capper heads: 22 to 25 rpm for turrets with up to 8 heads, and 28 to 30 rpm for turrets with more than 8 heads. Speed must match line demand to avoid both cap shortage in the chute and sorter disc overload.

Is the sorter compatible with C.I.H. and Pick-Off cappers?

Yes. We manufacture sorters compatible with both Cap In Head (C.I.H.) systems, where the head descends to the cap, and Pick-Off systems, where the head picks the cap before descending to the bottle. Mechanical integration and chute height are adjusted to the specific layout of the customer's capper.

Does Gromar serve customers outside Brazil?

Yes. Gromar serves customers throughout Brazil, with machining in Piracicaba/SP and logistics by carriers specialized in industrial freight. We also serve international companies — for customers abroad, simply contact our sales team to arrange logistics and invoicing.
