MAKEEN Energy’s valve orientation machine is designed to perform a help function in connection with manual or automatic filling of cylinders with screw valves. The valve orientation machine ensures that the LPG cylinder is turned with the socket of the cylinder valve in the right direction for processing.
The VOS valve orientation machine is designed to be incorporated in-line in a chain conveyor. It is used for automatic orientation of screw valves on gas cylinders, prior to various automatic processes as e.g. filling or application of caps.
In connection with fully automatic filling on carrousel, the machine is placed before the introduction unit in order to ensure correct orientation of the cylinder valve before introduction of the cylinder onto the filling machine.
