Cap profile and grip
Ribbing can provide good contact for tightening, but cap material and rib depth still affect tooling selection. Sample testing helps confirm repeatability.
UK screw capper route
Ribbed screw caps are common but still need the right machine setup. The rib profile affects how the cap is gripped, how torque is applied and whether spindle or chuck capping is the better route.

The target torque should match the cap, liner and product requirement. Consistency can be affected by cap quality and bottle thread tolerance.
Ribbed caps may suit bench, chuck, compact inline or spindle capping depending on output and handling requirements.
Include cap diameter, closure type, bottle size, target output, available space and whether the capper needs to connect to filling or labelling equipment.

FAQs
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.
Send bottle and cap samples or drawings, cap diameter, bottle height and diameter, target output, product type, line layout and any changeover requirements.
Yes. Lancing UK can review the product, pack, closure and output requirement first, then help shortlist a practical screw capping route.
