Core Selling Points & Advantages
1. Unwavering Sealing Integrity & Security
This is the paramount concern. Our machines ensure:
Leak-Proof Sealing: Critical for liquids (beverages, sauces, pharmaceuticals) to prevent spoilage, contamination, and product loss. Our precise torque control and consistent sealing pressure guarantee a perfect seal every time.
Tamper-Evident Closure: For food, pharma, and high-value cosmetics, tamper-evident seals (e.g., induction seals, tear bands) are crucial for consumer safety and trust. Our cappers can seamlessly integrate these functionalities.
Product Freshness & Shelf Life: A secure seal protects the product from oxidation, moisture, and external contaminants, significantly extending shelf life and maintaining product quality.
2. High Versatility & Adaptability
Our designs offer:
Extensive Cap Compatibility: From screw caps (plastic, metal), snap-on caps, child-resistant caps, sport caps, pump dispensers, dropper caps, and more. Our machines are designed to handle a broad spectrum.
Bottle Size & Shape Flexibility: Rapid changeovers and minimal adjustments allow for processing diverse bottle materials (glass, PET, HDPE) and irregular shapes without compromising efficiency.
Multi-Functionality: Solutions can range from single-head to multi-head rotary cappers, capable of handling high-speed lines, or even integrate multiple capping technologies (e.g., screw cap

• Principle: Caps are fed, oriented, and then applied to the bottle's thread. The key is precise torque application.

• Mechanical Chucks: These use rotating chucks with friction inserts (like rubber or plastic) that grip the cap. Torque is controlled by adjustable clutches (e.g., magnetic, pneumatic) or springs.
• Servo-Driven Chucks: These offer advanced, highly precise, and repeatable torque control via servo motors. This allows for dynamic torque adjustment and real-time feedback, ensuring optimal cap tightness without overtightening or damaging the cap.
• Roller Capping: Caps are applied loosely, then a series of rollers engage the cap, spinning it down onto the bottle threads. This method is often used for higher speeds and certain types of caps.

• Principle: Caps are placed over the container opening and then pressed down by a mechanism (e.g., pneumatic cylinder, cam-driven press head) until they snap securely into place.
• Advantages: Simple, high-speed application for compatible caps, suitable for various bottles and jars where a threaded closure isn't required.

• Principle: Unthreaded aluminum caps are placed on the bottle neck. Rotating rollers then reform the cap to create threads matching the bottle's finish, and a separate set of rollers scores and folds the skirt to create the pilfer-proof band.
• Advantages: Provides a tamper-evident seal, excellent for wine, spirits, and some pharmaceutical products, and offers a premium, professional appearance.

• Principle: A foil liner within the cap is heated by an electromagnetic field as the capped bottle passes under an induction head. The heated foil melts its polymer coating, bonding it to the rim of the container.
• Advantages: Creates a hermetic, leak-proof, and tamper-evident seal, significantly extends product shelf life, prevents contamination, and is widely used across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its effectiveness.

• Principle: Heat and pressure are applied to bond a film or foil lid to the rim of a container.
• Advantages: Creates a strong, secure seal, often used for cup filling and sealing machines (yogurt, water, ice cream cups), and can be integrated with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for enhanced freshness.

• Principle: The cap's skirt or collar is mechanically crimped (rolled or pressed) around the bottle neck's finish, creating a tight, often non-removable, seal.
• Advantages: Provides a robust, tamper-proof seal, common in pharmaceutical (e.g., aluminum caps for vials), cosmetic (perfumes), and some chemical applications where permanent closure is needed.

• Pump & Trigger Capping: Specialized chucks and often separate feeding systems are required due to the unique shapes and sizes of pump and trigger sprayers. This ensures precise and gentle handling for these complex closures.
• Aseptic/Sterile Sealing: For pharmaceutical and specific food applications, these systems are integrated into aseptic lines to maintain sterility within a controlled environment, crucial for highly sensitive products.
