Important points before you shortlist equipment
02
Allow access
Operators need space to load caps, clear jams, change tooling and clean around the machine. A cramped layout can reduce real output.
03
Plan utilities and controls
Check power, air, data, safety and machine interfaces before installation. These details can affect commissioning time.
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.
