Why cap presentation matters
The capping head can only work reliably when caps arrive in the correct position. Poor presentation causes misapplied caps, stoppages and operator intervention.

Buying detail
Important points before you shortlist a machine
02
Manual, elevator or bowl feed
Manual placement may suit lower-volume work. Cap elevators and bowl feeders are usually considered when output rises or when operators need to be removed from repetitive cap presentation tasks.
03
Closure shape and orientation
Pumps, triggers and asymmetrical closures are harder to feed than simple round screw caps. Samples are essential before assuming a feed route.
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 cap feeding system uk
Do all automatic cappers need cap feeders?
Most automatic capping lines need a planned cap presentation method, although the exact feeder depends on the cap.
Can pumps and triggers be fed automatically?
Sometimes, but orientation and height make these closures more complex than standard caps.
What should I send for cap feeding advice?
Send caps, bottles, target speed and photos or drawings of the closure where possible.
