Caps are individually picked up by the mechanical swing arm and moved to the capping head. The container then moves under the capping station as the cap is accurately placed and torqued onto the bottle threads. This machine is intended for production speeds of 10-15 per minute for bottles up to 4" diameter and caps up 53mm. Components for larger bottles/caps will be quoted upon review or samples resulting in increased costs and reduced speeds. Cap Feeding and Sorting Systems are sold separately for configuration purposes.
