Automatic Capping Machines
Automatic capping machines are automated devices used in the bottling and packaging industry to secure and apply caps, lids and closures to a variety of containers. Automatic capping machines are available in various designs, depending on the size, shape, and type of container, as well as the type of cap, lid or closure.
Automatic capping machines can be used for a variety of purposes, including centrifugal closure applications, which use a rotating head to secure and apply a closure, as well as for screw capping, which uses a rotating spindle to secure a cap or closure. Other applications include snap cap, press-on, and pop top closures.
An automatic capping machine can be designed to accommodate different sizes, shapes, and types of containers and closures. Some of the most commonly used types of bottles and containers include jars, cans, and plastic containers. Depending on the size, shape and type of the container, an appropriate capping machine can be chosen and configured for the particular application.
Centrifugal closure applications are typically used for larger containers and closures, such as 55-gallon drums or 5-gallon buckets. The centrifugal closure allows for secure, uniform sealing of the container lid, as well as efficient and quick capping.
For screw style closures and caps, a spindle capping machine is the preferred choice. A spindle capping machine allows for secure, even tightening of the closure or cap, as well as uniform and repeatable capping of the container. The spindle style capping machines are available in various levels of sophistication and operation, depending on the needs and requirements of the application.
For press-on and pop-top closures, an automatic capping machine designed for this type of operation is the best choice. This type of capping machine can be designed to accommodate many different types and sizes of containers and caps, and can be used for both manual and automated capping applications.
Most automatic capping machines are designed with safety features such as sensors and lockout devices for added safety. The sensors detect any movement within the container or closure and will automatically shut down the system until the obstacle is removed. This ensures that the capping process is free from potential hazards.
In addition to safety features, automatic capping machines are also designed with advanced hardware and software. These features allow for highly accurate and repeatable operation, as well as the ability to adjust settings to accommodate different sizes, shapes and types of containers and closures. With the use of a computer-based system, users of the machine can save time by eliminating the need to manually adjust settings and ensuring that all capping operations are accurate and consistent.
Overall, automatic capping machines are a great investment for any bottling or packaging operation. They provide the security and accuracy required for reliable and repeatable closure applications. These machines also offer the flexibility and convenience necessary to accommodate different sizes, shapes, and types of containers and closures.
