An automatic inline screw-capping route with guiding belts, spindle tightening, PLC/touchscreen controls and cap-feeding options for compatible round-bottle production lines.
The LU-XG440B-class configuration uses guided bottle control and continuous spindle tightening for compatible screw caps. Sustained output depends on cap orientation, feeder recovery, bottle stability, product residue, conveyor flow, stop-and-restart behaviour and the agreed finished-pack inspection method.
Use the published data to screen the project, then confirm suitability, tooling and acceptance with production-equivalent samples.
Open the Lancing specialist automatic belt and spindle capper page →Published ranges are not acceptance guarantees. Packaging variation, cap placement, product residue, operator method and line conditions can change the final configuration and sustained result.
Plan a controlled acceptance test →The following values are taken from Lancing's current first-party specialist page. Approximate and format-dependent values remain explicitly qualified.
| Model reference | LU-XG440B class |
|---|---|
| Published capacity | 3,000–5,000 bottles/hour, material and format dependent |
| Bottle diameter | 35–120 mm |
| Bottle height | 60–200 mm |
| Electrical supply | 110/220 V, 50–60 Hz |
| Power | Approximately 2 kW |
| Capper dimensions | Approximately 2000 × 900 × 1600 mm |
| With cap elevator | Approximately 3453 × 1393 × 2243 mm |
| Controls | PLC and touchscreen |
| Cap feeding | Cap elevator or vibratory bowl as ordered |
| Integration | Upstream fillers and downstream inspection or labelling |
Side belts and guides must stabilise the bottle without distorting it. Round geometry alone does not prove that a lightweight or top-heavy pack will run correctly.
The cap must arrive in the correct orientation and remain located on the neck before the spindle wheels apply tightening force.
Define the response to missing caps, cap starvation, blocked outfeed, upstream stops and downstream inspection so faults do not release uncontrolled packs.
Send the actual bottle, closure, target output and acceptance checks. Lancing can review whether this model class is suitable or whether a different capping route is more practical.
