Format flexibility
Frequent SKU changes make quick setup, clear adjustment points and change parts important.
Application
Capping machines for contract packers
Contract packers need flexibility across products, bottle sizes and closure types. Capping machinery should be judged by changeover as well as output.
Output realism
Quoted maximum speed is less useful than the achievable output across the actual range of bottles and caps.
Future-proofing
A scalable capper route can help contract packers take on new projects without rebuilding the line each time.
Shortlist route
Which capping route fits?
Use this as a starting point before sending bottle, cap and output details for a project-specific recommendation.
| Requirement | Likely route | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Many short runs | Semi or compact capper | Flexible and easier to change over. |
| Repeat contracts | Automatic inline capper | Useful when a repeatable format justifies automation. |
| Mixed closures | Project review | Triggers, pumps and screw caps may need separate tooling or routes. |
