How To Read The Published Automatic Tracking Capping Machine For Higher Speed Bottle Lines 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.

  • Approved general arrangement or layout
  • English operation manual
  • Electrical diagram
  • Pneumatic diagram where applicable
  • PLC program backup
  • Agreed FAT criteria and record
