Chuck capping strengths
Chuck cappers use cap-specific contact and can be effective where the closure needs positive engagement. They may be suited to controlled, repeatable applications where the cap is presented consistently.

02
Spindle capping strengths
Spindle systems are often used on inline bottle lines where caps can be started and tightened as bottles move through the machine. They can be effective for repeatable round bottles and higher-output work.
03
Which route should you choose
The decision should be based on physical samples and the line requirement. Bottle stability, cap starting, torque target and changeover needs often matter more than the machine name.
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.
