Screw Capper Torque Guide
Understand the practical torque questions to answer before choosing a screw capping machine.
How to choose the right route
Torque is one of the main reasons to use a screw capping machine. Too little torque can lead to loose caps and leakage risk, while too much torque can damage threads, distort caps or make the pack difficult to open.
The correct setting depends on closure design, neck finish, liner, product risk and customer requirements. A trial with real samples is often the safest way to confirm the route.
- Confirm cap diameter and closure type.
- Check whether the cap has a liner or tamper feature.
- Define acceptable opening and closing torque range.
- Use representative bottles and caps for trials.
Planning points
What to check before shortlisting
02
Real output target
Check target bottles per minute or bottles per hour and whether the operator can sustain the workflow.
03
Integration needs
Decide whether the capper is standalone or needs to connect to filling, labelling or conveyors.
FAQs
Common questions
What information is needed for a quotation?
Send bottle dimensions, cap type, cap diameter, target output, product type, photographs and whether cap feeding or line integration is required.
Can Lancing UK review samples?
Yes. Representative bottles and caps help confirm grip, torque, cap presentation and changeover requirements.
Can the machine be linked into a filling line?
Many screw capping machines can be supplied as standalone equipment or planned as part of a filling, capping, labelling and conveyor line.
