FAQs
Questions about cap changeover support
Is cap changeover support 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.
