What a cap chuck does
The chuck contacts the closure and transfers tightening force. Its design should suit the cap shape, texture and presentation requirements.

Choosing Cap Chucks and Change Parts
Cap chucks and change parts help a capping machine handle specific closures and bottle formats. Planning them properly reduces setup time and improves repeatability.
Selection notes
How to approach choosing cap chucks and change parts
Cap chucks and change parts help a capping machine handle specific closures and bottle formats. Planning them properly reduces setup time and improves repeatability.
- Match chucks to cap diameter, profile and finish
- Plan change parts for bottle height and diameter changes
- Consider future SKUs before ordering tooling
- Use samples to avoid assumptions

02
Change parts and format range
If the same machine handles several bottles or caps, change parts may be needed to keep each format stable and repeatable.
03
Planning for future packs
Tell the supplier about planned SKUs or future caps so tooling choices do not restrict growth unnecessarily.
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 choosing cap chucks and change parts
Is choosing cap chucks and change parts suitable for my bottle and cap?
Suitability depends on cap type, bottle stability, target torque, output and whether caps are manually placed or automatically fed. Samples help confirm the correct route.
What details should I send for a quotation?
Send bottle and cap samples or drawings, cap diameter, bottle height and diameter, target output, product type, line layout and any changeover requirements.
Can Lancing UK help before I know the exact machine model?
Yes. Lancing UK can review the product, pack, closure and output requirement first, then help shortlist a practical screw capping route.
