Application versus tightening
Some projects need only consistent tightening after an operator places the cap. Others need automated cap presentation and application as part of a continuous line.
Cap application
Bottle Cap Applicator
A bottle cap applicator applies and tightens closures onto bottles. In screw capping projects, the key questions are how the cap is presented, how it starts on the thread and how consistently it is tightened.

Important points before you shortlist a machine
02
Choosing the right level
A semi automatic cap applicator may be the best first step. Automatic cap application is useful when output or labour savings justify cap feeding and line integration.
03
Pack samples are essential
The cap applicator should be reviewed against real bottle and cap samples, especially for pumps, triggers or shaped bottles.
Send your bottle, cap and output details to Lancing UK.
Include cap diameter, closure type, bottle size, target output, available space and whether the capper needs to connect to filling or labelling equipment.

FAQs
Questions about bottle cap applicator
Is a cap applicator the same as a capper?

Can caps be placed by hand first?
Yes, on many semi automatic and lower-output routes.
Can cap application be fully automatic?
Yes, if cap presentation and bottle handling are suitable.
