Inline capper
Specify the capper around the closure, bottle and production target.
Lancing can help shortlist practical capping machinery after reviewing cap type, neck finish, bottle stability, output target, torque requirement and the way caps are presented to the machine.
Useful details for a quote

Selection notes
What affects the correct capping route?
Why choose inline capping
An inline capper is useful when bottles already travel on a conveyor or when you want capping to connect with filling, labelling and coding equipment. The design needs enough control over bottle spacing and cap presentation.
Handling and stability
Side belts, guide rails, timing screws, indexing and bottle clamps may be needed depending on container shape. Tall or flexible bottles need extra attention before machine selection.
Cap feeding choices
Manual cap placement may be practical at lower speeds. Bowl feeders, cap elevators or specialist pump/trigger feeding systems can be added when output or consistency demands it.
Next step
Send bottle and cap information before final machine selection.
Photos, dimensions and target output help identify the most likely capping route. Physical samples are normally the best way to confirm tooling, cap feeding and bottle support.
FAQ
Common questions
Is inline capping only for high-speed lines?
No. Compact inline machines can be suitable for moderate speeds when the goal is better flow and reduced handling.
Can an inline capper be added to an existing filler?
Often yes, but bottle transfer height, conveyor width, product spacing and line control need to be checked.
Does inline capping require automatic cap sorting?
Not always. It depends on output and operator involvement. Automatic cap sorting is usually specified when manual cap placement becomes the bottleneck.
