Buying detail
Before comparing prices, check the closure diameter, cap height, thread start, liner type and target application torque. A capper that looks suitable on output alone may struggle if bottles are unstable, caps are difficult to start or the operator cannot present caps consistently.
Manual cap placement can be practical for short runs, pilot production and operators handling multiple pack formats. It keeps the machine simple and flexible, but throughput depends on operator rhythm and safe bottle presentation.
Automatic feeding usually becomes more important when output, repeatability and operator workload matter. Cap elevators, bowls and tracks need to match the closure, which is why samples are important before a final quote.
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.
