Machinery carries a full line of automatic screw capping
machines including inline cappers, rotary chuck cappers, and
ROPP capping machines. The biggest differences between inline
screw cappers and chuck cappers is that generally speaking
inline cappers are very flexible for running a wide range of
caps (primarily what is known as flat caps) without need for
change parts, whereas a chuck capper requires a chuck and
bottle change part for every sized cap and bottle. However,
chuck cappers deliver much more accurate torque, especially in
the lowest and highest ranges of torque requirements. Also,
since chuck cappers can be built in a rotary configuration,
they are capable of much higher speeds than even the best
inline cappers. But with the addition of our new CAI-10
inline capper (pictured on the right) new innovations can now
get pretty close to torque consistency of a chuck capper, when
in comparable speed ranges. Still though, rotary chuck cappers
are capable of speeds in excess of 600 bottles per minute on a
large rotary system.
