Capping Machines

An automatic capping machine is an industrial packaging system designed to automatically place and securely tighten caps, lids, or closures onto containers like bottles, jars, ampoules and vials or canisters. Unlike semi-automatic versions, these machines require minimal human intervention, handling the entire process from feeding the caps to verifying the final seal.

• CAPLINE CN is a linear capping machine for the automatic capping of standard bottles or canisters with screw or press-on caps. It is characterised by high flexibility with different formats and low acquisition costs.
• CAPLINE ROT is a fully automatic rotary capping machine with continuous carousel movement for high-speed applications with high torque and high performance. It offers higher accuracy and better handling of various types of caps.
• CAPLINE DYNAMIC is an automatic capping machine with a movable head that moves with the bottle during the capping process.
• CAPLINE PMP is a semi-automatic machine for capping all types of bottles with spray and pump attachments (so-called trigger caps).

Our capping machines are used to place and securely tighten caps, lids, or closures onto bottles, canisters, cans, jars, ampoules or vials.

Our capping machines are closing screw-on or press-on caps, twist-off and pilfer-proof closures, and trigger caps with spray and pump attachments. In addition, we also have equipment for sealing aluminum foil inserts inside lids to the necks of containers.

Linear capping machines work in a straight line. They are characterised by high flexibility in adapting to different formats and low acquisition costs. However, their speed is lower (up to 1500 bottles/h). Rotary capping machines utilises a continuous carousel movement for high-speed applications with high torque and higher output (up to 6000 bottles/h). This enabled higher accuracy and better processing of different cap types.

Rotary capping machines are primarily designed for capping smaller containers and for capping containers with difficult-to-handle closures (such as low-profile caps). The containers are fed from a conveyor onto a rotary indexing table and moved under the sealing station, where the twist-off cap is fed into the closure head via a pick-and-place mechanism, thereby sealing the container.

The capping machine is a standalone unit integrated into the filling plant via an infeed and outfeed conveyor.
