Linear Capping Machine

A Linear Capping Machine is an advanced automated system designed to securely place and tighten caps on bottles or containers in a production line. It is engineered for high-speed operations and consistent torque control, making it ideal for industries like pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, beverages, food processing, and chemicals. With linear (straight-line) movement, this machine supports various cap types such as screw caps, press-on caps, ROPP caps, and flip-tops—offering unmatched versatility, reliability, and scalability in packaging operations.

Many Linear Capping Machines come equipped with a cap feeder, torque adjustment, PLC control system, and automatic bottle spacing, making them a staple in medium- to large-scale production setups.
