Inline Spindle Capping Machine

Tightens screw caps continuously without stopping the bottle.

Inline Spindle Capping Machine
How it works

Built around your product

Caps are sorted, delivered down a chute and picked up by the moving bottle. Sets of spinning discs tighten each cap to an adjustable torque while gripper belts hold the container.

The filling principle follows the product. Piston fillers meter viscous products by cylinder volume. Gravity and overflow fillers suit thin, foaming liquids and give a consistent cosmetic fill level. Auger fillers dose powders by screw rotation. Cappers then place and tighten screw, press-on or pump closures to a set torque.

Machine cycle

Process sequence

Feed

Containers are unscrambled and spaced on the conveyor.

Index

Gates or a starwheel position containers under the nozzles.

Fill

Nozzles dive, dose and retract with anti-drip cut-off.

Cap

Closures are sorted, placed and torqued.

Code

A laser or inkjet coder marks date and lot before labelling.

Questions

Which filler suits viscous products?
A piston or servo-pump filler. Products such as sauces, creams and gels need positive displacement and often a heated or agitated hopper.
How is fill accuracy expressed?
As a percentage of target volume or weight, typically ±0.5–1% for piston filling under stable conditions.
Can filling and capping be combined?
Yes. A monoblock mounts filling, plugging and capping on one frame, saving floor space on small-container lines.
