Method Comparison

Comparison With Other Capping Methods

Capping Method	Best For	Selection Note
Swing Arm Capping	Round screw caps, medium-speed lines	Flexible solution for standard caps
Linear Capping	Continuous screw cap tightening	Good for stable inline production
Tracking Capping	Higher speed lines	Reduces bottle stop time
Pump Head Feeding & Placing	Lotion pump and shampoo pump caps	Sorts and places pump heads before a separate tightening station
Trigger Sprayer Capping	Sprayer caps for cleaning bottles	Designed for long trigger heads
Four-wheel Capping	Screw caps and some pump caps	Stable side tightening and fast changeover
Press Capping	Press-fit caps	Suitable for pressing instead of thread tightening

How To Read The Published Automatic Swing Arm Capping Machine For Screw Caps And Round Caps Parameters

The website helps shortlist a machine. Final values are released only after the product, container, closure or label, required output and factory conditions are reviewed.

Bottle and cap range

Published dimensions are selection references. Neck finish, cap geometry, bottle support and physical samples control final approval.

Heads or stations

The listed quantity describes the configured capping positions; the cap-feeding method remains part of the system design.

Speed basis

A sustained bottles-per-minute target requires the real cap, bottle, feeder and upstream spacing conditions.

Closure result

Placement, tightening, pressing or torque checks use an agreed method and supplied package samples during FAT.

Final handover package

After configuration confirmation, the handover package supports installation, operation, maintenance and acceptance without publishing unconfirmed project values.
