Capping Machines Speed Up the Process of Sealing Bottles

Capping Machines speed up the process of sealing bottles and prevent bottle handling injuries. They are used in beverage, food, chemical, cosmetic, and household product manufacturing.

Choosing the right capper will depend on the cap style and level of automation desired. For example, a rotary chuck capper can be adjusted to seal different kinds of caps and bottlenecks.

Bottling Lines

TORQ Packaging USA are large, complex machines used by breweries and other beverage companies to bottle their products quickly. They're designed for safety and to be resistant to things like corrosion that could jeopardize the quality of consumable beverages.

Some manufacturers offer bottling lines that integrate several mechanized machines into one seamless line that performs rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling with the precision that only automation can offer. These are often referred to as bottling plants and typically require four to seven people to operate.

A bottle capping machine is the last step in a bottling line before product is packaged for shipment to wholesalers, distributors, and retail outlets. There are many different types of capping machines, but chuck and ROPP capping systems are the most popular. Both can add pilfer proof caps to bottles, a great way to demonstrate that a product has been bottled with the right cap. They also can snap on pre-printed labels to provide important information and brand identity.

Feeders & Sorters

Feeders and sorters are vital components for orienting small machine parts during automated manufacturing lines. They can also help streamline production, reducing manual labor and improving efficiency across industries.

Vibratory feeder machines utilize vibration to feed product into a tray or trough. They are washdown-tolerant and can accommodate a variety of different product sizes and bulk densities. They are typically driven by a vibrating drive unit that generates controlled vibrations to move materials through the system.

When purchasing a used feeder machine, ask for documentation on its maintenance history. You want to be sure that it has been well maintained and is in good condition. A reliable used feeder can ensure that your line runs smoothly and efficiently for years to come. It can also allow you to upgrade or modify your production process without having to invest in new equipment.

Cap Placement

Every company that fills products into bottles or jars needs a way to seal them and bottle capping machines are the most efficient way to do this. There are a number of different cap placement machines available including rotary, inline and screw type, each designed for a specific project and cap type.

Once a machine is properly set up (often done by the factory) the operators are free to do other packaging tasks while the cappers work their magic. Depending on the model, a capper may require some adjustment in conveyor railing, bottle stabilizing components or a change over from one type of cap to another but in general these machines will run smoothly once set up.

This screw capping machine can tighten most screw and lug-type caps and will also adjust to different bottle heights as well as varying cap diameters. It is very versatile and can be upgraded to grow with your production demands.

Cap Sealing

For a reliable seal on your bottles, jars and glass containers you use capping equipment to apply caps. Caps come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but all have the same goal: to protect the contents inside.

From twist tops for condiments to ROPP caps for pharmaceutical products, there are many options for your production line. Choosing the right one depends on factors like chemical compatibility and consumer safety, but also how much pressure is needed for a tight seal.

For example, lug caps are used to seal hot-filled food items and beverages such as bottled salsa and iced tea in glass bottles or jars. These types of caps require a hermetic seal to ensure that the products remain fresh and safe to consume. An induction cap sealing machine offers a quick and easy solution. Its low energy consumption and minimal maintenance needs increase productivity and reduce costs.
