NEW ChaseLock Quick Change Tooling for Vials and Stoppers

NEW ChaseLock® QUICK CHANGE TOOLING FOR VIALS AND STOPPERS

I. VIBRATORY PARTS FEEDERS CHASE-LOGEMAN has developed a means of using vacuum for holding stopper, plug and cap parts feeder bowls and tracks to their vibratory base drives. We have eliminated the use of bolts or other mechanical clamping means. Changing feeder bowls and tracks can be accomplished in less than a minute with the flick of a switch. Not the 20 to 30 minutes normally associated with part feeder change over. This is the newest addition to the ChaseLock® quick change system of no tools bottle, plug, stopper, and cap change parts.

 

CHASE-LOGEMAN has developed a means (patent pending) of using vacuum for holding stopper, plug and cap parts feeder bowls and tracks to their vibratory base drives. We have eliminated the use of bolts or other mechanical clamping means. Changing feeder bowls and tracks can be accomplished in less than a minute with the flick of a switch. Not the 20 to 30 minutes normally associated with part feeder change over. This is the newest addition to the ChaseLock® quick change system of no tools bottle, plug, stopper, and cap change parts.

 

II. VIALS AND BOTTLES Vial and bottle change over is as simple as lifting off one set of circular guide rails and star wheel and replacing them with another. There are no bolts or set screws to loosen or remove.

 

III. CLOSURES Plug, stopper, and cap bridges (escapements) are removed by activating a small lever on each bridge post and sliding the bridge on or off the post. The plug or stopper plunger snaps onto the plunger rod similar to a quick change hose coupling.

 

IV. RETROFITTING The best news of all is that most existing Chase-Logeman plugging, stoppering, and capping machines can be converted to the ChaseLock® quick change system. Call or write to Joel Slazyk at Chase-Logeman for additional information.
