Simplifying short-height closure conversions

Closure Systems International (CSI) introduces the rugged XT6 Headset to meet the demand for sustainable, light-weight, short-height plastic closures.

“Short-height closures often have a more narrow operating window for proper application,” says Europe machinery manager, Gregor Hieb.

“The XT6 Headset is designed to deliver consistent removal torques at maximum bottling speeds, making it the preferred choice for carbonated soft drink, bottled water, and non-carbonated beverage bottling line conversions.”

“The XT6 reduces application issues, improves process stability, and provides overall trouble-free operation.”

The CSI XT6 headsets provide 6,000 hours of maintenance-free operation - even under extreme conditions, including aggressive hot-fill environments.

Inspection and tear downs following 6,000 hours of operation have validated the performance of the XT6 design.

Additional shrouding in the seal areas have been shown to completely prevent product or cleaning solutions from entering the headset and affecting the bearings.

The XT6 modular design enables easy disassembly and reassembly for the fastest headset rebuild times in the industry.

“Also, CSI is now offering XT-6 Headsets to bottlers that are using non-CSI cappers,” Hieb added.
