Automatic Bottle Capping Machine
An Automatic Bottle Capping Machine is a precision-engineered industrial system designed to automatically place and secure closures (caps, lids, corks, etc.) onto containers with consistent speed, accuracy, and torque. It is a critical component in modern packaging lines, replacing slow, inconsistent manual capping while ensuring product integrity, safety, and compliance.
View Finetech Automatic Bottle Capping Machine
Our automatic bottle capping machine seamlessly integrates into various packaging lines, including filling and packaging line series, and is compatible with common bottle types such as PET, PP, and HDPE.
Automatic Bottle Capping Machine
An automatic bottle capping machine takes loose caps from a bulk supply, orients them correctly, places them onto the necks of moving bottles, and then applies a specific, calibrated torque to screw, snap, or press the cap on tightly and consistently. It does this in a continuous, synchronized motion with a filling or packaging line.

FAQs
An automatic bottle capping machine is a self-contained system that applies closures (caps, lids, corks) to containers without manual intervention. It typically includes cap feeding, orientation, placement, tightening, and quality verification in one integrated unit, operating at speeds from 20 to 1,500+ containers per minute.
Modern machines handle virtually all closure types:
Screw caps (plastic, metal, continuous thread, lug).
ROPP closures (roll-on pilfer-proof aluminum).
Snap caps (press-on, child-resistant).
Corks (natural, synthetic, technical).
Flip-top/sports caps.
Tamper-evident closures.
Spray pumps & dispensing closures.
Crown caps (with specific attachments).
Consider these 8 key factors:
Production Speed Required (CPM – containers per minute)
Container Characteristics (size, shape, material, neck finish)
Closure Type & Specifications (thread type, diameter, material)
Product Characteristics (viscosity, temperature, foaming tendency)
Available Floor Space (footprint, height clearance)
Changeover Frequency (quick-change vs. dedicated)
Budget Constraints (capital vs. operating costs)
Future Expansion Plans (modular vs. fixed capacity)
Inline Cappers: Bottles move linearly under capping heads. Best for low-to-medium speeds (20-200 CPM), easier changeovers, lower cost.
Rotary Cappers: Bottles move on rotating turntable past stationary heads. Best for high-speed production (200-1,500+ CPM), consistent performance, higher precision.
Benchtop/Single-Head: Manual or semi-automatic. Ideal for R&D, pilot plants, low-volume production (<20 CPM).
Typical Speed Ranges:
Benchtop: 5-20 containers per minute (CPM).
Inline: 20-200 CPM
Rotary: 100-600 CPM (standard), up to 1,500+ CPM (high-speed).
Ultra-high-speed lines: 2,000+ CPM (specialized applications).
Modern machines include multiple safeguards:
Detection Systems:
Cap Presence Sensors: Photoelectric or proximity sensors.
Bottle Detection: Before capping station.
Height Sensors: Detect missing caps after application.
Automatic Responses:
Station Skip: Capping head doesn’t descend.
Reject Diversion: Uncapped bottle removed from line.
Machine Stop: If multiple consecutive faults occur.
Alert Notification: Visual/audible alarms, HMI messages.
