EVENT REVIEW 21 PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 The whole world of capping At drinktec 2025, AROL showcased its “MORE” approach: not just high-performance capping machines, but a complete ecosystem that merges mechanical innovation, smart digital tools, and tailored customer service. One highlight presented was the EQUATORQUE IQ with 39 heads; this machine delivers up to 20% more output in 30% less space than previous models. It features FDA-compliant, hygienic design with external top-load adjustment and direct-drive torque control. It is claimed to save up to 1,000W and adapt to different bottles without format change. Another highlight presented at the booth was the Complete Cap Feeding Line: The lower-high OVER System removes the need for elevated structures, improving safety and maintenance. It includes AI-powered inspection units with configurable vision stations, statistical analysis, and a user-friendly interface. Gravity-fed caps are spaced by a vacuum conveyor and timing star, while the Flat Buffer ensures uninterrupted flow. The Ion-Xcl deduster removes 99.99% of microplastics and particles, securing product safety. Together with MACA Engineering and LAMFI, AROL completes the cap production cycle.
