Lug Capping Machines are the devices that are used for cap sealing different types of jars, containers, bottles and likewise packaging materials. They are very crucial for industries such as packaging, pharmaceutical, food, and beverage.

How To Select A Lug Capping Machine:

In order to buy right Capping Machine, it is important to consider the following parameters –

Cap Range:

For large containers, vertical Machine and a cap tighter is required. For small containers, machines with a physical control system to control capping may be required. The diameter size also determines the kind of machine that will be suitable. Small diameters require vibratory sorting machines whereas huge diameters need big elevator sorters.

Cap Geometry:

Width and height of cap restrict the choice of Lug Capping Machine. Flat caps, where width is more than height are easy to sort. Here, all sorts of Machines can be used. If cap is square or if it is tall, then centrifugal or vibratory systems are used. Pumps and spray heads are manually placed and then tightened with automatic tightener, instead of Lug Capping Machine.

Closure Design:

Some caps have to be vertically placed onto the container. Detergent caps, for instance, are tall and hence require this sort of manual placing before tightening. Same is the case with plugs and stoppers. The machines for these products are in discontinuous motion and run slowly. They are also expensive in comparison to continuous Capping Machines.

Manual, Automatic Or Semi-Automatic Lug Capping Machines:

To tighten caps manually is cumbersome as it involves health risks like carpal tunnel syndrome. Also, speed won’t be more than 10 containers per minute. 15 to 20 CPM can be achieved through semi-automatic systems. Fully Automatic Machines can sort, place, tighten caps and have speed of 200 CPM.

Plant Environment:

Machines must meet the requirements of filling machines that have been installed.

Capping Machines For Different Industries:

• Pharmaceutical Lug Capping Machines have strong dosing pump to handle glass and plastic medicinal bottles.
• Food Capping Machines have twist-off vacuums to seal bottles with steam exhaust. To avoid spoiling food, these machines have good automation with screw caps to seal juices, drinks etc.
