CAPLINE CN is a linear capping machine, used for automatic capping of bottles or canisters with screw-on or press-on caps. The machine's linear design means no format parts are needed for different container sizes. The cap is automatically aligned and placed onto the bottle neck.
This is the basic version of an automatic single-head capping machine. Bottles and canisters are positioned under the capping head using side belts. The caps are oriented using a belt ejector or a rotary orienter and transported via a conveyor belt to a pick-and-place device, which feeds the cap to the capping head. The capping head places the cap on and tightens it with the desired torque.

Process Description
- The containers pass into the machine via the infeed conveyor. They are stopped beneath the closing head using pneumatic pushers or a side conveyor belt.
- The caps are transported from the floor level caps hopper by belt elevator to the rotary orientator placed on the top of capping machine. Oriented caps fall down to the cap chute. The chute is equipped with sensor, which detects level of caps. In case of low level of caps in the chute, the sensor activates the orientator.
- The caps are conveyed from the chute directly into the capping head by means of a pick-and-place device. The capping head places the closure onto the bottleneck and tightens it with the required capping torque. The capped container leaves the machine on the outfeed conveyor.
