The VK138 bottle capper headset is Closure Systems International's tried-and-tested standard headset for aluminum roll-on closures.
A customizable configuration of two flange and two thread rollers ensures optimum sealing efficiency. The head's slim construction makes it suitable for use even on small-pitch machines.
