Why tooling matters
The capper can only be as consistent as the parts that contact the cap and bottle. Poorly matched tooling can cause slipping, scuffing or unstable tightening.

Buying detail
Important points before you shortlist a machine
02
Planning future formats
When buying a machine, list future bottle and cap sizes so likely change parts can be discussed early. This prevents later surprises when a new SKU is introduced.
03
Changeover discipline
Repeatable changeovers depend on labelled parts, clear settings and operators who understand how cap and bottle formats differ.
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.
