Working Principle of Twist Off Capping Machine
The filled bottles moving on conveyor belt and fed into an in feed star wheel by in-feed worm. While moving in feed star wheel, bottles pick up caps one by one from delivery chute. The descending rotary sealing heads hold bottle’s neck with desired pressure. The sealing is done in a programmed roll-on manner, accurate positioned of the caps is done mechanically by means of a rotating unscramble, to direct the caps correctly into the chute, when the chute is filled up the rotating unscramble drive is disengaged, hence, there is no chance to damage of caps. The sealing roller takes place due to rotating sealing head and transfer movement of sealing & threading rollers due to sealing cam. The sealed bottles are discharged by exist star wheel on conveyors.

What types of containers and caps can the Twist Off Capping Machine handle?
The machine handles containers with diameters of 24mm to 90mm and heights of 50mm to 250mm. It works with caps of 20mm, 25mm, and 28mm diameters (using change parts).
What are the key safety features of the Twist Off Capping Machine?
Key safety features include the “No Bottle – No Cap” system, “Container Overturn – Machine Stop” mechanism, safety clutch on the star wheel for jamming/overloading protection, and additional clutch systems to prevent bottle breakage.
How does the Twist Off Capping Machine work?
Filled bottles move via conveyor to an in-feed star wheel. They pick up caps from a delivery chute. Descending rotary sealing heads apply pressure, and sealing occurs in a programmed roll-on manner using sealing and threading rollers guided by a cam. Sealed bottles are then discharged via an exit star wheel.
What materials is the Twist Off Capping Machine constructed from?
The machine features a Stainless Steel finish with an M.S. frame structure and Stainless Steel Cladding/Enclosures. All parts in contact with containers, caps, or exposed to the atmosphere are made of stainless steel for durability and GMP compliance.
How easy is it to change container sizes on the Twist Off Capping Machine?
Changeover and setting from one container size to another is quick and easy, typically done with a single ratchet. The hopper can also be fully dismantled for easy cleaning.
What optional features are available for the Twist Off Capping Machine?
Optional features include a Cap Feeder with Variable Speed System, PLC with HMI, IQ/OQ documentation, Inbuilt Laminar Air Flow for sterile operations, Sampling and Rejection systems, and Safety Cabinet Covering.
What power requirements does the machine have?
Power specifications vary by model (1 H.P. for smaller models, 2 H.P. for higher-capacity ones). Standard electrical characteristics are 440 Volts, 3 Phase, 50 Hertz, 4 Wire System. Voltage can be adjusted to meet customer requirements.
Is the Twist Off Capping Machine suitable for pharmaceutical and sterile applications?
Yes. It is a compact GMP model suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and other industries. Optional features like Laminar Air Flow (Class 100), PLC/HMI, and IQ/OQ documentation make it ideal for regulated and sterile filling environments.
