How a Cappers Works

Cap tightening machines use two systems to place a cap on a container. The pick-off system or the pick and place system.

Pick-off System: In the pick-off system, a precise cap chute delivers the cap. The cap is then picked up by the bottle as it passes beneath the chute. This system is usually compatible with different caps, including skirted and aluminum caps. And it s common in rotary cappers, as well as in-line capping machines.
Pick and Place System: The pick and place system includes a robotic arm that picks and places caps on specific containers. For the most part, this system is more versatile since it is compatible with almost every type of cap used in various industries for different products. Allowing for wider spread use.

Once the cap is on, the capper head tightly seals the container. The mechanism for deploying this aspect depends on the type of seal and the nature of the products in question. When using skirted aluminum caps, the machine applies downward pressure. This is due to the fact that the rollers mold the seal to fit on the bottleneck. When using a threaded cap, the machine applies torque and downward pressure to create a tight hermetic seal.

Capping Machines Applications

Capping machines are used for various applications and cappers can be different based on the specific application at hand. But what stays constant is the fact that the capping of bottles and containers are among the last aspect in any production line. Most industries rely on bottle capping machines to tighten closures for their products, so making sure you have the right capper for the right application is crucial. Some models are built for industrial, agricultural, chemical, or food and beverages industries. Let's take a look at some of these different applications.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical manufacturers produce different drugs and medicines, which come in a variety of packaging options. Products in the pharmaceutical industry have strict regulations due to their sensitive nature, so manufacturers must use security seals to ensure proper sealing is complete. On top of that, capping machines ensure that containers have tamper-proof seals. This makes it so the products are uncontaminated.

Industrial and General Packaging

Automatic capping machines are an invaluable tool for many industrial applications. The machines simplify the capping process when packaging and securing the products. One industry in particular that utilizes cappers effectively is the cosmetic industry. They use automatic cappers to secure various containers and packages. On top of that, industries dealing with sensitive products require cappers to ensure the security of the products.

Food and Beverages

Food processors and beverage companies often use easy-to-open containers for packaging preserved foods. The manufacturers of these products need a jar capping machine to seal the containers, whether the products are packed in a can or bottle. Cappers are a safe and secure way of handling this task.

Chemical and Agricultural

Agricultural inputs, like liquid fertilizers and pesticides, usually come in bottles or containers with tight seals. And these seals need to be tight for security and safety purposes. Many manufacturers use automatic bottle capping machines in order to properly seal the containers and make sure the caps are tamper-proof and secure.
