Starwheel

The Starwheel offers the ultimate in pot sealing and closing flexibility, in either a single or twin wheel configuration.  It is designed to handle rigid walled, non de-nestable containers with the option to create a seal using a pre-cut lid or reel fed film. 

The Starwheel can also be integrated with an automatic screw capper or induction sealer as well as a wide range of fillers to give a fully versatile solution.

Production speeds are dependent on the product consistency, fill volume and closure type but can be up to 100 containers per minute.
