In the dynamic landscape of modern packaging, efficiency, precision, and reliability are paramount. Automatic pick and place screw capping machines represent a cutting-edge solution designed to meet these demands, offering seamless automation for securing screw caps onto a wide array of bottles and containers. These sophisticated machines are engineered to elevate production throughput while maintaining consistent sealing integrity, making them indispensable across diverse industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, cosmetics, chemicals, and more. By integrating advanced robotic or specialized mechanical systems, these cappers meticulously "pick" caps from a feeder and precisely "place" them onto bottles before securely screwing them on, ensuring optimal product protection and presentation.
We are india's one the largest manufacturer for pick and place type capping machine , we manufacture a wide range of pick and place capping machine like pick and place screw capping , lug capping , snapfit , trigger spary cap and etc . Our range of pick and place capping machine are applicable from pharma industry to food , cosemtic and etc . We are loacated in ahmedabad , gujarat . We have been manufacturering capping machine , since 1978.
In pick and place type bottle capping machine the cap are pick up by head and then place on the bottle , this type of system provide more accuracy in capping . there are different type of capping machine applicable for different bottle.
Automatic pick and place type bottle capping machine are the machine in which machine pick ups cap in jaw and then closes on bottle with special pick and place type mechinism

depending on speed requirement
Specialized Mechanism: The core of these machines, designed for accurate picking of caps from a supply source (like a vibratory bowl feeder or cap elevator) and precise placement onto bottle heads.
High Efficiency and Throughput: Automates the capping process, significantly increasing production speed and reducing manual labor. Machines can achieve high Bottles Per Minute (BPM) or Bottles Per Hour (BPH) rates.
Consistency and Precision: Utilizes vision systems (optional on some models) and sensors to ensure accurate cap alignment and consistent torque application, minimizing errors and ensuring uniform product quality.
Versatility and Adjustability: Designed to accommodate various container sizes (different diameters and heights) and cap types (screw caps, ROPP caps, snap/press-fit caps, CRC caps, flip-top caps, inner plugs, etc.) with minimal changeover time.
Control System (PLC & HMI): Equipped with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) touch screen for easy setup, monitoring, recipe storage, and error message display.
No Bottle - No Cap System: A crucial safety and efficiency feature that prevents cap wastage and machine operation when no bottle is present on the conveyor.
No Cap - Machine Stop System: The machine automatically stops if caps are not being fed properly, ensuring process reliability.
Stainless Steel Construction (cGMP compliant): Built with SS 304 (contact parts often SS 316L) for durability, hygiene, and resistance to corrosion, adhering to cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) standards.
Adjustable Torque: Allows operators to set the capping torque precisely to prevent cap damage and ensure a secure seal. This often involves magnetic hysteresis capping heads or pneumatic tightening.
Conveyor System: Integrated with a conveyor that transports bottles to and from the capping station. Conveyor height is typically adjustable.
Safety Features: Includes overload clutch systems on star wheels to prevent bottle breakage, emergency stop buttons, and fully interlocked guarding for operator safety.
Modular Design: Often designed for easy assembly, disassembly, and maintenance, facilitating quick changeovers between different bottle and cap specifications.
Cap Feeding System: Can include various options like vibratory bowl feeders, mechanical cap orientators, or waterfall type elevators for continuous and oriented cap supply.
Low Noise and Power Consumption: Designed for efficient operation with reduced noise levels and optimized power usage.
