Capping Machine Guide
Choose the Right Capping Machine for Your Packaging Line
The right capping machine depends on the closure type, container,
required output and level of automation. ZONESUN provides capping
equipment for standalone production as well as integration with
filling, labeling and complete packaging lines.
Capping Solutions for Different Closure Types
Screw capping machines are widely used for threaded plastic and
metal caps on bottles and jars. Depending on the application,
servo, spindle or rotary capping systems can provide controlled
tightening and stable continuous production.
For specialized closures, ZONESUN also offers solutions for ROPP
aluminum caps, press-on caps, perfume crimp caps, droppers, lotion
pumps, trigger sprayers and other closure formats.
Automatic cap feeding and sorting systems can be integrated when
higher production speeds and reduced manual handling are required.
How to Select a Capping Machine
01 · Cap Type
Screw, ROPP, press-on, pump, spray, dropper or specialty closure.
02 · Container
Confirm bottle or jar dimensions, material and neck specifications.
03 · Production Speed
Select tabletop, inline or rotary equipment according to required output.
04 · Automation
Choose semi-automatic operation or automatic cap feeding and capping.
Capping Machine FAQs
What types of caps can a capping machine handle?
Capping systems can be configured for screw caps, ROPP caps,
press-on caps, pump and spray closures, dropper caps, perfume
crimp caps and other specialized closures. The correct system
depends on the cap structure and container.
How do I choose between inline and rotary capping machines?
Inline capping machines are suitable for many medium- to
high-speed packaging lines and offer flexible integration.
Rotary capping systems are generally selected when higher
continuous output and stable high-speed operation are required.
Can a capping machine be connected to a filling line?
Yes. Automatic capping machines can be integrated with filling,
labeling, bottle handling and other packaging equipment. For
compact applications, a monoblock system can combine filling
and capping functions in one machine.
What information is needed to select a capping machine?
Cap samples or dimensions, container specifications, required
production speed and automation requirements are normally used
to determine the suitable capping configuration.
