Automatic capping machines

Processing machines

An automatic capping machine is designed to perform feeding, orienting and applying caps or lids to the bottles or containers. Filling and capping can be performed in a single automatic filling and capping machine.

Cap and lids types include: flat caps (screw-on, threaded or lug), flip-top lids, sprayers, pump-type, dropper, roll-on closures, press-top, twist-top caps, disc-top caps, pull/push caps, child resistant (CRC) closures, pilfer proof caps, etc.

Operation principles:

Following filling, the filled bottles or containers are transferred to the capping station. The capping station usually is equipped with a cap un-scrambler and a cap feeder, which feeds the caps to the cap guide tracks. The capping machine gripping means picks the caps from the guide track and puts them on the bottle or container and presses or torques the caps. Following capping, the capped containers are transferred from the capping station with the help of the output conveyor for further processing.

The automatic capping machine requires only that the operator places the caps into the cap feeder, then the capping machine automatically handles the container and presses or torques caps.

Our capping machines solutions

Automatic rotary capping machine
Automatic rotary capping machine

An automatic rotary capping machine is a solution for a quick and efficient capping of the containers moving around capping stations, where specially designed capping grippers place caps onto the container necks.

Automatic pick & place screw capping machine
Automatic pick & place screw capping machine

This capping machine is designed to pick the screw-on caps aligned in the chute and torque them on the top of the container to the required applied torque securely tightening it. The caps are elevated from the cap hopper by the conveyor which sorts and orients the caps. At the capping station, the cap is re-torqued with the predetermined torque.

Liquid Filling Machine
Filling-capping monobloc machines

Filling-capping monobloc machine combines liquid filling and capping processing stations at the same machine. The containers are indexed between these stations with the rotation of a starwheel.

Automatic inline multihead capping machine
Automatic inline multi-head capping machine

This capping machine is designed to perform simultaneous inline capping of multiple containers.

Automatic robotic rotary lid placer for ants bait tins
Automatic robotic rotary lid placer

This capping machine is equipped with robots to pick and place lids on tins. The rotary star-wheel displaces the tins through several processing stations. The lid feeding is organized by vibratory bowl feeders sorting and transferring the lids to the lid guide tracks.

Automatic snap capping machines
Automatic filling and lid closing machine with product heating system

This automatic machine is designed for filling and lid closing of butter and spreads products such as butter, margarine, spreads, fats, pastes, chocolate spreads, peanut butter etc., which must be preheated before filling and continuously stirred to maintain a uniform consistency and temperature. The capping machine applies snap-on caps or lids onto the containers.




Sections of the capping machine



Features of each section of capping machine

Main processing conveyor or infeed conveyor

Automatic Capping Machine | Cappers | Bottles and Containers

In inline capper, the filled containers are transferred in a single row from the filling machine to the capping machine on the main processing conveyor

Automatic Capping Machine | Cappers | Bottles and Containers

In automatic filling and capping machine with rotary capping, the filled containers are transferred on the conveyor towards the starwheel

Automatic Capping Machine | Cappers | Bottles and Containers

In the rotary monobloc filling and capping machine, the starwheel indexes the containers towards the capping station(s).

The container cap is applied to the container on the pre-torque station

Automatic Capping Machine | Cappers | Bottles and Containers

The container cap is tightened on the container to a pre-determined torque on the torquing station

Adjustability

Automatic Capping Machine | Cappers | Bottles and Containers

The level and centering of the capping gripper can be adjusted according to the container neck, and the conveyor width also can be adjusted according to the container sizes.

Automatic Capping Machine | Cappers | Bottles and Containers

In the case of a rotary capper, separate interchangeable star wheels can be made for each size or shape of a container.

Safety
