Comprehensive Selection of Capping Machines

Packserv offers both semi-automatic and automatic capping machines, giving you the flexibility to choose the right solution for your production needs. Whether you’re running small batches or large-scale operations, our capping machines are designed for ease of use, reliability, and high performance.

Semi-Automatic Capper Machines

Our semi-automatic capping machines are ideal for smaller production runs, where speed and efficiency are still important factors. These machines require minimal operator intervention, making them an excellent choice for businesses looking to streamline their production process.

The Bench Model Capper is one of our most popular semi-automatic machines.  This is a perfect entry-level capping machine for the capping of almost any style of container closure whether screw-on, push-on, trigger-pack or spray-pack. It’s designed to set the industry standard for semi-automatic cap tightening.

Automatic Capping Machines

For larger production runs, our automatic capping machines are the perfect choice. Designed for integration with inline conveyor systems, these machines ensure accurate and reliable cap application.  During operation, containers are conveyed to the Auto Capper through an inline conveyor system.  Caps are pre-positioned upstream, either manually or using automatic cap placement equipment.  A sensor detects the presence of each container, triggering the machine’s operation.  This equipment is designed to operate continuously, with minimal operator intervention, allowing you to maximise productivity and efficiency.  The Multi-Head ROPP Capper is a bottle capping machine that is suitable for screw-on or push-on aluminium caps.

Pneumatic Cappers

Packserv’s pneumatic cappers are ideal for small to medium production lines across industries like food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. These machines deliver consistent torque control using air-powered technology, making them a dependable choice for a wide range of container closures. With options available for rental or purchase, our pneumatic cappers are designed to integrate easily into your existing setup and streamline your packaging process.

FAQs About Capping Machines

How does a capping machine work?
Capping machines use torque and pressure to apply caps onto containers. Depending on the type, they may use mechanical arms, spinning heads, or pneumatic systems to apply screw caps, snap-on lids, or press-on closures.

Which capping machine is best for my product?
It depends on your cap style, container shape, and production volume. For example, chuck cappers are better for precise torque requirements.

Can capping machines handle irregular or specialty closures?
Yes. Custom tooling and head configurations can accommodate spray pumps, droppers, flip-tops, child-resistant caps, and more. Be sure to match the machine to your specific cap type.

Are capping machines compatible with different container sizes?
Most machines are adjustable or come with interchangeable parts to suit various container heights and width.

How accurate is the torque control on a capping machine?
Modern machines offer precise torque control to ensure consistent, tamper-proof seals without over-tightening. This is critical in industries like pharmaceuticals and food.

Can I integrate a capping machine with my filling and labelling line?
Yes. Most capping machines can be seamlessly integrated into automated packaging lines with fillers, conveyors, labellers, and printers for end-to-end production efficiency.

Are capping machines suitable for small businesses or startups?
Definitely. Tabletop and semi-automatic cappers are affordable, compact, and ideal for short production runs. They can be upgraded or integrated as your operation grows.

How do I maintain a capping machine?
Routine maintenance includes checking torque heads, lubricating moving parts, and cleaning contact surfaces. Regular servicing ensures consistent performance and longevity.

Can I rent a capping machine?
Yes. Packserv offers rent or rent-to-buy options, helping you manage cash flow while meeting production demands.
