PET bottle notes
PET bottles can flex or collapse if the capping force is not controlled. Filled samples are useful for checking real stability.
Application route
PET and HDPE bottles are common across food, drink, personal care, cleaning and chemical products. The right screw capping route depends on bottle rigidity, closure type, fill level and output target.

HDPE bottles vary from rigid containers to flexible bottles. Guides and side support should be matched to the actual pack.
Cap type, bottle diameter range, target output and changeover frequency decide whether semi automatic, compact or automatic capping is appropriate.
Include cap diameter, closure type, bottle size, target output, available space and whether the capper needs to connect to filling or labelling equipment.

FAQs
Suitability depends on cap type, bottle stability, target torque, output and whether caps are manually placed or automatically fed. Samples help confirm the correct route.
Send bottle and cap samples or drawings, cap diameter, bottle height and diameter, target output, product type, line layout and any changeover requirements.
Yes. Lancing UK can review the product, pack, closure and output requirement first, then help shortlist a practical screw capping route.
