Cap elevators
Useful where caps can be lifted and fed to a sorter or chute with reduced manual loading.
Closure handling
Automatic capping is only as reliable as the cap feeding system. The feeder must present closures in the right orientation at the right speed.
Specification focus
Caps differ in shape, weight, centre of gravity and orientation needs, so the feeder should be selected with real closure samples.
Useful where caps can be lifted and fed to a sorter or chute with reduced manual loading.
Can sort and orient caps where the geometry is suitable for bowl tooling.
Pumps, triggers and irregular closures may need specialist orientation or presentation methods.

Project checklist
Accurate bottle, cap and line information reduces the risk of choosing a capper that looks suitable online but fails in production.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Cap sample | Cap geometry, size, material and orientation requirement. |
| Feed speed | Caps per minute required at the capping head. |
| Storage | Hopper size and operator loading frequency. |
| Jam control | Access, sensors and recovery after misfeeds. |
Useful answers
These answers are designed to help production teams prepare a clearer enquiry before sample testing or quotation.
Most automatic capping lines need a cap feeder or cap presentation system to achieve consistent production.
Sometimes, but change parts or adjustments may be required.
They can be more difficult because of shape and dip tubes, so specialist handling may be needed.
Incorrect orientation, cap variation, static, speed mismatch and unsuitable feeder tooling can all cause jams.
Send bottle photos, cap samples, output target and line details so the right capper, cap feeder or complete bottle machinery route can be reviewed.
