Machine range
Compare automatic bottle cappers, semi-automatic capping machines, ROPP cappers, screw cappers, pump and trigger cappers, press cappers and cap feeding equipment.
Choose by closure
The same bottle line may need very different machinery depending on whether the closure is threaded, aluminium ROPP, pump, trigger, push-on or awkward to orientate.
| Closure / cap type | Typical machine route | Specification checks |
|---|---|---|
| Threaded plastic screw cap | Screw capper, chuck capper, belt or spindle capper | Torque repeatability, cap height, bottle grip, thread start, changeover time |
| Aluminium ROPP closure | Semi-automatic, automatic or multi-head ROPP capper | Bottle neck finish, skirt length, tamper band, glass stability, roller tooling |
| Pump or lotion pump | Pump bottle capping machine with tube control | Dip-tube length, orientation, cap presentation, bottle stability, tightening torque |
| Trigger sprayer | Trigger sprayer bottle capping machine | Head orientation, tube handling, product sector, container neck and bottle shape |
| Push-on or snap cap | Press capping machine with cap feeder | Vertical force, closure fit, bottle support, cap nesting and feeder orientation |
Machine catalogue
Each product card outlines the closure type, likely application and the practical checks that affect machine selection.
Screw cappers
Inline bottle capper for threaded closures where repeatable torque, bottle control and continuous output are important.
ROPP cappers
Operator-fed roll-on pilfer-proof capping for aluminium closures on glass bottles and short production batches.
Pump cappers
Cap placement and tightening for pump closures where dip-tube handling, orientation and bottle stability matter.
Trigger cappers
Bottle capper for trigger sprayers and pump heads where cap geometry, tube control and threading need careful handling.
Screw cappers
Flexible automatic capping route for standard screw caps, pump closures and spray bottle formats.
ROPP cappers
Automatic aluminium cap rolling for production lines requiring pilfer-proof sealing and conveyor integration.
ROPP cappers
Multi-head ROPP solution for higher line speeds and consistent aluminium closure forming.
Press cappers
Press-on and snap-cap machinery for closures that need vertical application rather than screw torque.
Screw cappers
Space-saving capper for pilot rooms, laboratories and compact packaging areas that need reliable torque control.
Cap feeding
Automated cap presentation and tightening for threaded caps where manual cap placement would restrict throughput.
Bottle machinery
Integrated bottle machinery layouts covering filling, capping, cap handling, labelling, coding and conveyors.
Cap feeding
Dedicated pump cap feeding and presentation equipment for closures that cannot be treated like simple screw caps.
Specification checklist
Real output depends on cap feeding, bottle control, operator loading, changeovers, neck finish, fill level, container shape and the production environment.
Send physical bottles and caps wherever possible. Photographs and drawings help, but samples reveal grip, torque and cap presentation issues.
A machine that is correct for a long single-product run may not be correct for many short changeover batches.
Confirm filling, labelling, coding, conveyors and accumulation before the capper is locked down.
FAQs
Often it can, but the answer depends on cap diameter, cap height, thread style, bottle stability, torque range, change parts and how often production changes between formats.
Screw capping tightens a threaded closure to a controlled torque. ROPP capping forms an aluminium closure onto the bottle thread using rollers to create a tamper-evident seal.
Cap feeding can become the limiting factor on an automatic line. Some caps are simple to orientate; pumps, triggers and caps with tubes usually need more specialist handling.

Verified reference evidence
The figures below come from current Lancing specialist product pages. They are reference ranges rather than a promise that every bottle and cap inside the dimensions will run. Closure geometry, bottle stability, tooling and the trial method remain decisive.
| Reference route | Published format range | Published output | Evidence and application |
|---|---|---|---|
| LU-XG6100 class semi-automatic screw capper | Bottle height 100–300 mm; cap diameter 20–60 mm. | 20–60 bottles/min, format-dependent. | Automatic bottle clamping with manual or automatic cycling. View the Lancing specialist product page. |
| LU-XG446S trigger cap feeder | Approx. Ø15–35 mm trigger closures; bottle height approx. 10–280 mm. | 20–25 bottles/min. | Vibratory bowl, pick-and-place presentation and dip-tube handling. View the Lancing specialist product page. |
| Semi-automatic ROPP route | 20–50 mm caps; bottle height 60–350 mm. | Typical 25–30 bottles/min. | Operator-fed roll-on pilfer-proof closing. View the Lancing ROPP range. |
| LU-XG440C8 eight-head ROPP capper | Bottle diameter 30–90 mm; mouth 22–38 mm; height 100–330 mm. | 7,500 pieces/hour reference capacity. | Rotary multi-head ROPP system. Final speed depends on the complete bottle, cap and line arrangement. View the Lancing ROPP range. |
Machine comparison
A shaped chuck grips the cap while the bottle is held. Tool fit, vertical pressure, torque control and bottle support influence thread engagement and cap finish.
Opposing belts or wheels progressively tighten pre-threaded caps on an inline conveyor. Guide setup, bottle control and cap presentation are central to repeatability.
Top pressure establishes liner contact while rollers form the thread and pilfer band around the bottle finish. Cap, liner, bottle neck and roller tooling must be compatible.
Asymmetric closures and dip tubes add orientation and insertion tasks before torque is applied. The cap feeder and placement mechanism may govern sustained output.
| Area | Possible change parts or settings | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|
| Closure handling | Chucks, liners, tracks, bowl tooling, escapements, pick heads and orientation guides. | Demonstration with every agreed closure, including stop/restart and replenishment recovery. |
| Bottle handling | Side guides, star wheels, clamps, neck supports, timing screws and conveyor settings. | Stable transfer of the lightest and least stable agreed bottle at the required line condition. |
| Capping quality | Torque setting, clutch, top pressure, roller settings, spindle height and belt pressure. | Documented cap height, thread engagement, torque or opening checks, leakage and visual acceptance. |
| Output | Machine timing, bottle pitch, feeder speed, buffer capacity and operator cycle. | A sustained representative run, not a short unloaded cycle-rate demonstration. |
Machine range FAQ
No. Diameter is only one input. Cap height, skirt shape, thread, liner, tamper features, external ribs and bulk feeding behaviour can all require different tooling or a different machine route.
Output changes with bottle and cap format, operator tasks, cap placement, feeder performance, bottle stability and downstream conditions. The relevant figure is the sustained rate achieved with the agreed samples and acceptance method.
Adjustments reposition existing guides, heads or supports. Change parts are format-specific components such as chucks, star wheels, tracks, bowl tooling or bottle fixtures that must be exchanged for another pack.
No. Trials should include the worst-case agreed format, such as the tallest, lightest, softest, most unstable or most difficult closure, because it may set the real production limit.
Compare labour tasks, cap placement, bottle loading, sustained output, changeover time, reject handling, footprint and future integration rather than comparing only the capping-head cycle.
