Capping Machine

About Capping Machine

Automatic capping machines are high-speed, stainless steel industrial units designed to automatically sort, place, and tighten various cap types (screw, snap, ROPP) onto containers. They enhance production efficiency by ensuring consistent, precise, and secure sealing, often incorporating vibratory or centrifugal feeders, and are essential for industries like pharmaceutical, food, and beverage.

Key Description & Features

• Structure: Constructed with Stainless Steel (SS304) for durability and hygiene compliance, often featuring a compact design suitable for integration into existing, high-speed automated production lines.
• Functionality: Employs a continuous, automated, and often, a linear or rotary motion to apply caps, reducing manual intervention.
• Cap Feeding System: Uses vibratory bowl feeders or centrifugal/orientation systems to feed caps efficiently.
• Capping Heads: Utilizes specialized headssuch as chuck, spindle, or ROPP (Roll-On Pilfer-Proof)with adjustable torque to ensure proper sealing.
• Versatility: Capable of handling various container shapes and materials (glass, plastic, LDPE) with quick changeover parts.
• Safety Features: Often includes "No container, no capping" sensors.

Typical Technical Specifications

• Production Speed: Ranges from 30 to over 100 bottles per minute (BPM), depending on the number of heads and bottle/cap size.
• Number of Heads: Typically 1, 4, 6, or more, depending on production speed requirements.
• Cap Size: Suitable for screw caps (approx. 18mm to 56mm diameter) and ROPP caps (19mm to 38mm
• Bottle Size: Accommodates container diameters from 22mm to 100mm and heights from 58mm to 240mm
• Power & Voltage: Generally operates on 220-380V 0.75kW to 2HP power supply.
• Weight & Dimensions: Approximate weight of 400-700k with varying dimensions based on model.
