Good spindle fit
Round bottles can suit side-belt control and progressive spindle wheel tightening.
Round bottle capping
Capper for round plastic bottles
Round plastic bottles are often a good fit for inline screw capping or spindle capping, provided the bottle and cap are stable enough for repeatable torque.
Cap range
Closure diameter, height and liner affect setup and changeover.
Bottle rigidity
Soft bottles may need careful grip pressure and filled-sample checks.
Shortlist route
Which route is most likely to fit?
Use these checks to decide whether the project is a semi-automatic, compact or automatic inline capping route.
| Project signal | Likely route | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Stable round bottle | Automatic belt spindle capper | Good route for repeatable inline tightening. |
| Low-volume round bottle | Semi-automatic screw capper | Useful for short runs and manual cap placement. |
| Growing output | Cap feeder or elevator | Reduces manual cap presentation as volume increases. |
