02
Bottle neck finish
Thread compatibility and neck finish are just as important as machine torque. Poor thread engagement can cause cross-threading or inconsistent results.
03
Machine selection
The choice between semi automatic, chuck and spindle capping depends on speed, pack stability, changeovers and cap feeding requirements.
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.
