This type of capping machine is designed to efficiently cap bottles with screw caps, suitable for industries like food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. Here’s a detailed description of its features:
Description:
4-Wheel Capping Mechanism: This machine uses four rubber wheels for capping, ensuring a firm and precise cap application. The wheels create a stable grip on the cap, tightening it securely without damaging the bottle or the cap itself. This mechanism is effective for various cap sizes and types.
Automatic Cap Feeding System: Equipped with an automatic cap elevator or feeder, this system continuously supplies caps to the capping unit. The caps are fed into the machine and positioned over the bottles, improving production efficiency by reducing manual intervention.
Conveyor System: The integrated conveyor transports bottles smoothly through the machine, aligning them under the capping head for accurate cap placement. The conveyor speed can often be adjusted, allowing for compatibility with different production rates.
Adjustable Cap Tightening: The machine typically has adjustable settings for torque, which allows precise control over how tightly caps are applied. This is essential for products with specific sealing requirements.
User-Friendly Control Panel: A touchscreen control panel (often visible) enables easy operation and adjustment of parameters such as speed, torque, and production count. It simplifies setup and enhances ease of use.
Versatility: Suitable for a range of cap and bottle sizes, this machine can handle different shapes and dimensions, making it adaptable for various production lines.
Sturdy Stainless Steel Frame: The body is usually made of stainless steel, ensuring durability, ease of cleaning, and compliance with hygiene standards.
High Efficiency and Consistency: Ideal for medium- to high-volume production, this machine provides consistent capping quality, reducing errors and minimizing downtime.

Capping Device
The main function of the capping wheel is to tighten the cap pre-placed on the bottle by rotating. The capping wheel rotates around the cap and applies appropriate pressure and torque to ensure that the cap is completely locked with the bottle. The four capping wheels work together to evenly screw the cap to avoid loosening or over-tightening.
HMI
The touch screen is used as a human-machine interface (HMI) to operate, monitor and control the operating status of the equipment. The touch screen provides operators with a convenient visual control platform, enabling them to efficiently manage the production process.
Electric Parts
The electric control box contains the lock cover torque adjustment device, conveyor belt motor inverter, servo motor drive, switch, relay, power supply, wire connection board, small transformer, PLC and other devices.
Torque Adjustment
Bottle Sensor
The signal from the bottle inspection sensor can be synchronized with the bottle clamping conveyor, motor and other equipment to ensure that the bottles enter the capping machine in a predetermined order. For example, when the sensor detects a bottle, the bottle clamping conveyor will pause to allow the capping machine to complete the operation; when the capping is completed, the conveyor will continue to run and transport the bottle to the next station.
Bottle Clamping Belt
The speed of the bottle clamping conveyor belt is usually synchronized with the operating rhythm of the capping machine to ensure that the bottle and the capping wheel work well together during the conveying process. Too fast speed may lead to incomplete or failed capping, while too slow speed will affect production efficiency. The coordination of the conveyor belt and the capping process ensures smooth production.
Height Adjustment
In the cosmetics industry, bottles come in a variety of heights and sizes, and the capping height adjustment function allows the machine to be precisely adjusted according to the height of the bottle. Whether it is a small bottle or a large bottle, the capping machine can ensure that the position of the bottle cap matches the capping wheel by adjusting the height, ensuring the accuracy and quality of the capping.
