§ 01 · What It Does

Calibrated screw-style mouthpiece fastening.

The MPM is the screw-style mouthpiece fastening station. It brings calibrated torque to mouthpiece attachment using a rubberized spinning puck with a slip clutch. The operator places a staged mouthpiece on a filled cartridge, inserts it into the spinning puck, the torque limit trips, and the operator withdraws the fastened assembly. Ten pounds, all-electric, no pneumatics.

01

Consistent Torque

±0.5 Nm torque tolerance across every fastening cycle. The slip clutch releases at the set torque limit, eliminating the hand-wrench variability that produces leak complaints and inconsistent mouthpiece seating in the field.

02

Multi-Format Compatibility

Works with any screw-style mouthpiece including form factors such as duck bills, bullets, and barrels, in materials including polycarbonate, wood, and metal. Size change is a quick swap.

03

Continuous Operation

The MPM is a single-station screw-style mouthpiece fastener with continuous or foot-pedal operation. The rubberized spinning puck catches the mouthpiece surface, initiates fastening, and the slip clutch releases once the set torque limit is reached. No fixed cycle time; the operator sets the pace.

04

Assembly Completion

Cartridges leave the MPM with mouthpieces fastened to spec and ready for inspection, testing, and packaging. Eliminates the RSI risk and inconsistency of manual screw-style fastening at any production volume beyond a handful of units.

§ 06 · Technical Q&A

What operators ask before they buy.

What mouthpiece types does the MPM work with?
Any screw-style mouthpiece. That includes duck bills, bullets, barrels, and other threaded formats. Materials include polycarbonate, wood, and metal. If you have a non-standard or custom format, contact sales for a compatibility check before purchase.
What is the difference between screw-style and press-on mouthpieces?
Press-on (press-fit) mouthpieces are pushed onto the cartridge body and held by friction. Screw-style mouthpieces thread onto the cartridge. The industry standard in 2026 is press-on for compliance and safety reasons, but screw-style mouthpieces still serve specific markets and product formats. The MPM is purpose-built for screw-style. If your operation uses press-on mouthpieces, see the MFP or LFP instead.
What is the torque tolerance?
±0.5 Nm across every fastening cycle. Torque limit is set during install based on your mouthpiece format spec. A slip clutch releases when the set torque limit is reached, so every fastened assembly meets the same spec. Calibration procedure is available through the online store.
How does the slip clutch work?
The operator inserts a cartridge with a staged mouthpiece into the rubberized spinning puck. The puck catches the mouthpiece surface and initiates fastening. When the set torque limit is reached, the slip clutch releases, stopping the fastening action. The operator withdraws the completed assembly. No fixed cycle time; the clutch trips when torque is met.
Is the MPM continuous or does it have a fixed cycle time?
Continuous operation. There is no fixed cycle time. The operator controls the pace: insert, fasten until the clutch releases, withdraw. An optional foot pedal is available for hands-free activation. Throughput depends on operator speed and mouthpiece format.
What is the power requirement?
120VAC 60Hz single-phase, 120W consumption. Standard 15A circuit is more than sufficient. The MPM is entirely electrical with no pneumatic requirement. Plug it in and it runs.
Does the MPM require compressed air or pneumatics?
No. The MPM is entirely electrical. No shop air, no compressor, no pneumatic fittings. This is one of the practical advantages of the MPM: it operates anywhere you have a standard electrical outlet.
Is the MPM related to the MFP?
No. The MPM and MFP serve different use cases. The MFP is a medium-force press for press-on mouthpieces. The MPM is a screw-style mouthpiece fastener. They are not paired in a production line and do not share tray formats or workflow dependencies. Choose based on your mouthpiece type.

Consistent screw-style fastening, no RSI.

If your SOP or finished goods use screw-style mouthpieces, the MPM replaces manual fastening with calibrated torque at any production volume. The industry standard in 2026 is press-on mouthpieces for compliance and safety, but screw-style still serves real markets, and manual fastening at any scale beyond a few units causes repetitive strain. Tell us about your mouthpiece format and volume and we will quote accordingly.
