Bottle stability and deformation
PET bottles can flex under side pressure or torque. The machine should support the bottle sufficiently without damaging the pack.

Buying detail
Important points before you shortlist equipment
02
Line speed and repeatability
At higher speeds, bottle spacing and cap starting become more important. Inline spindle capping may be suitable where bottles are consistent.
03
Send filled samples if possible
Filled PET bottles behave differently from empty bottles. Filled samples give a better indication of stability and torque behaviour.
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.
