How Liquid Packaging Solutions Designs Reliable Capping Machines
A dependable bottle capping machine is as critical to a successful and efficient packaging line as the filling equipment that typically precedes it. Imagine running an efficient, consistent filling machine just to have product splash and spill out of the bottles due to a faulty seal. For manufacturers packaging beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, personal care items, and other liquid products, reliable capping equipment protects the brand, product quality, shelf life, and consumer confidence by ensuring that every container leaving the production line is properly closed and sealed and ready for distribution.
At Liquid Packaging Solutions, Inc., reliability is not an afterthought or added bonus, it is a characteristic that is engineered into every bottle capping machine we produce. This reliability is achieved by working with each of our customers to ensure a thoughtful design with durable construction and customizable solutions that help to maintain efficiency and accuracy in the long-term.
Engineering Built for Real Packaging Environments
Packaging environments can be demanding, from high production speeds to varying container types, no two production facilities are exactly alike! LPS designs and engineers capping equipment to meet the conditions of each packaging project using heavy duty stainless steel frames and industrial grade components to ensure a long lifespan for the equipment. These engineering decisions can secure stability and efficient maintenance while protecting against corrosion or wear due to the environment while also meeting any other needs of each individual project. By focusing on rugged construction and specific individual project needs, LPS makes certain that the bottle capping machines provide consistent long-term performance.
Precision Sealing for Secure Capping
Of course, good capping requires consistent and reliable seals. Whether a threaded cap, a cork, an ROPP blank, or any other cap type, loose closures can lead to product leaking or even contamination. On the other hand, tight caps can damage both bottles and closures or simply lead to frustration on the part of the end user. LPS engineers capping machinery with easy controls to fine-tune the capping process based on the cap or closure, the container material, the product, and the speed, among other factors. This level of control, regardless of the closure type, allows the bottle capping machine to create a consistent and secure seal while protecting the products, caps and containers.
Flexibility for Caps and Lines
The flexible design of LPS capping machines allows packagers to run different cap sizes and in some cases cap types. While machines are built to handle a specific closure type (cork, ROPP, continuous thread, snap), each machine can handle different cap sizes of the same closure. Custom machines can combine certain types of closures as well. For instance, LPS manufactures a spindle and snap capping machine that uses spinning disks to tighten threaded caps while also employing a belt or tamper to secure snap on type closures. Custom engineered capping machines provide a solution for unique situations without sacrificing consistency or reliability.
LPS bottle cappers also offer flexibility by allowing packagers to integrate the machine into nearly any existing packaging line. LPS capping machines can roll up to a conveyor and begin running production. This allows large packagers to add capping equipment to nearly any line, while allows small and medium producers to automate at their own pace, giving an option to build as production requires.
Reliability is a part of the foundation for every packaging line. If bottle cappers perform consistently, it becomes much easier to maintain product and brand quality while operating efficiently. With durable construction, precise controls, flexible designs, and custom solutions, Liquid Packaging Solutions delivers dependable bottle capping machines to industries across the United States and around the world.
