Child Resistant Cap Capping Machine

Does every child-resistant cap need the same downward force?

No. Closing mechanisms vary, and the opening instruction on the top is not a universal machine-setting instruction. Ask the closure supplier for the actual application requirements before selecting top contact, axial load or grip. Do not transfer settings from an unrelated closure.

Can an outer cap shell be used as the only tooling sample?

A loose outer shell is not a complete functional sample. Provide assembled closures with the specified liner and matching bottles. The trial must distinguish outer-shell contact, the transmitted closing action and the approved opening function.

Does supplying a child-resistant closure establish package compliance?

No machine or component name, by itself, establishes compliance of the filled package. For hazardous chemical products in Great Britain, the need for child-resistant closures depends on the applicable classification and packaging rules. Use a competent package-specific assessment and the closure supplier’s approved evidence.

References: HSE packaging and child-resistant-closure requirements explains the chemical-classification boundary. A closure manufacturer’s two-piece design example shows why the assembled closure and thread system must be identified; it is not an endorsement of any particular bottle or Lancing machine. Compare machine torque-control methods only after the closure’s functional requirement is known.
