Automatic Linear Capping Machine

An Automatic Linear Capping Machine is a highly efficient, fully automated system designed to cap bottles or containers with consistent torque and precision. It operates on a linear track system where containers move in a straight line through the capping head(s), ensuring a continuous flow of production. It is ideal for medium to high-volume production in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, cosmetics, chemicals, and more.

The machine uses adjustable spindle or chuck capping heads, offering compatibility with different cap sizes and container types. It helps reduce labor costs, ensures tight sealing, and boosts packaging productivity.
