Benefits and types of bottle capping machines

The main function of a bottle capping machine is to make caps and prevent any leakages from the packed content. There is a foil liner inside it which ensures the bottle is filled and is capped in packaging operations later on. Companies use different types of sizes although there are some rare containers that require a custom B ottle capping machine . But, for majority of caps, few capping machines will do the job! Following are the different types of machines and they are used for different purposes.

Spindle capping machine - these machines are probably the ones that are most popular for the packaging industry. In these machines, latest technology is used to automatically place and accurately torque most cap types onto most bottle types. The Spindle Cappers can place and torque flat caps, oval caps, flip top caps, pull spouts, safety caps, child proof caps, sport caps, and caps with over-caps or induction seals. The Spindle Cappers can handle almost any bottle type or shape including PET, PP, PVC, HDPE, LDPE, and Glass.

Chuck capping machines – these machines are similar to spindle cappers because they also work with screw caps. They usually are made up of metal chuck and a rubber insert matched to the cap size. There are chances that these machines use multiple chucks to increase capping machine speed. The chuck capping machines can place and torque flat caps, oval caps, flip top caps, pull spouts, safety caps, child proof caps, sport caps, and caps with over-caps or induction seals. The chuck capping machines can handle almost any bottle type or shape including PET, PP, PVC, HDPE, LDPE, and Glass.

Snap Capping machines – These snap cappers and lid pressers are used for non screw type tops. By using these machines, caps are simply applied using the pressure and are normally held in place by a lip on a container. The Snap Capper can place and snap down flat caps, oval caps, safety caps, child proof caps, or with over-caps or induction seals.

Each of these bottle capping machines provide different levels of automation allowing you to handle a huge production wide variety of caps and bottles.
