Bottle Filling Capping and Labeling Machine

A bottle filling capping and labeling machine is an all-in-one machine that combines the functions of filling, automatic cap placing, capping, and labeling with date or number coding. This makes it perfect for small and medium-sized capacity requirements.

Capping machines can handle any container size or shape that a standard bottle conveyor can move. It also handles almost any cap design and neck finish as long as downward force can be applied.

Cap Loading

Bottle filling is one of the first steps in the packaging process. It’s important to have this step done correctly to ensure that your product has a quality seal before sending it out for delivery. This is why it’s good to go with a company that offers bottle filling, capping and labeling services as they will have all the necessary equipment to get your product to market.

Capping machines can be either semi-automatic or fully automatic and are designed to work with many different cap types and bottle styles. For example, a straight line or inline capper works well for screw caps and plastic cap seals while rotary capping machines can handle skirted caps as well as aluminum or metal ones.

Some of the capping machines can also support front and back labeling which is useful if you want to have your company name on the front of your bottles bottle filling capping and labeling machine as well as an expiration date on the back. They can do this by having a single label dispenser with a roller that will orient the bottles and apply front and back labels as they move along the conveyor.

Whether you need a simple bottle capping machine or a more complex labeling system, IFS can help you design and build an entire production line that will save you time and money. They can also provide rinsers, sorters, feeders, capping and sealing machines as well as labeling equipment to give you a turnkey solution that will take the worry out of your packaging needs.

Cap Feeding

The cap feeding system on a bottle filling capping and labeling machine can either be fully automated or semi-automatic. A fully-automatic machine uses a highly precise chute that dispenses caps as bottles pass quickly under. This method is more economical than a semi-automatic system, which requires a human to present each cap for the machine’s capper to grab and tighten.

A semi-automatic chuck capper can be mounted to a conveyor belt or set up on a slide tray for easy operation. This type of capper is better suited for smaller operations and specialized production runs. For large operations, a fully-automatic system is the way to go.

If your company is ready for high-speed, quality, and accurate bottling, consider working with a professional that specializes in this process. They will have all of the equipment needed to ensure your product is packaged quickly and efficiently. You can trust that their team will be able to handle the demands of your growing business with ease, leaving you free to focus on what matters most. With a full line of rinsers, sorters, feeders, labelers, cappers, and sealers, IFS can provide your company with the turnkey solution you’ve been looking for. IFS will help you choose the best options for your production line to ensure that all of your needs are met at a price point that works for your budget.

Cap Placement

The bottle cap placement process on a capping machine involves placing caps on the bottles. This part of the process may be manual for a semi-automated production line where a human grabs and places the caps before they are sealed, or it could involve a conveyor belt that brings the bottles under an automated chuck capper to allow for this step to be done by the machine itself.

E-PAK Machinery offers a variety of cap feeders and sorters to help ensure the right type of caps end up in the capping bowl for this step. These can be a vibratory sorter, centrifugal sorter, or bulk elevator that prepares the caps to enter bottle filling capping and labeling machine into the capping system so they are ready for placement on containers as the machine moves them along.

Once the bottle reaches the cap turning station which is a motorized arrangement responsible for spinning and tightening the caps on the container, it will be indexed to where a specific head can place the cap onto the bottle neck. This can be a screw or crimp capping head, depending on the needs of your operation.

Our capping machines are designed for use with a wide range of sizes and types of bottles, including both round and oval. They can be used with standard plastic bottles or glass ones, and we also offer options for those who want to work with a more specific size of vessel, such as an electronic cigarettes dropper bottle.

Cap Sealing

A bottle capping machine will place and seal the cap on the container. The cap is a hermetic seal that protects the contents inside from contamination, water and odors. The caps can be made from plastic, glass, aluminum or metal. They can also be tamper-evident, with the ability to deter attempts at opening or resealing of the product.

Fully automated packaging systems use power conveyors to move bottles from the filler to the capper and then to the labeler for final packaging. They can run at high speeds for efficient production. Cappers can be used with both standard and custom shaped bottles, and some offer automatic orienting and tracking systems to ensure the correct positioning of the caps.

Alternatively, induction cap sealers use an electromagnetic heating process to weld the foil laminate to the lip of a bottle. They can be designed for one- or two-piece liner construction and come with either a foam-backed or paper-backed foil laminate. The one-piece liners are easily removed from the caps, while two-piece liners are more difficult to remove and require more advanced equipment.

Induction sealing machines are cost-effective, and they can increase the speed of production lines by providing a hermetic seal in a matter of seconds. These machines also use low energy and require minimal maintenance, reducing downtime. They are also portable, making them easy to move from one production line to another.
