High-Grip Chuck Capping Technology With Cap Sorting Elevators
Chuck cappers are mainly chosen to when positive control of the container is required in order to reduce cross threads of caps and to allow for consistent cap torque. On all of our chuck capping machines, the cap is completely controlled and then placed onto the top of the container, pre-spin in the first station and then the second station creates the final and consistent torque of the cap.
Chuck capping machines are used with cap sorting elevators or vibratory bowls to completely automate the cap sorting process and application of the cap onto the bottles for continuous operation.

Available Options for Cap Feeding
Available Options for Cap Sorting and Feeding
Cap Sorting Elevator
The Cap Sorting Elevator sorts flat caps at the same time as acting as a bulk feeder and elevator. The cap sorting elevator comes in multiple sizes depending on your cap diameter. Not all caps are able to be sorted in a cap elevator. The elevator feeds the caps up a belt with slats in a way that most caps are properly oriented. The ones that get through are rejected in a reject chute. The caps are then fed into a chute the leads to the capper.
Specifications
-
- For Flat caps up to 5” diameter
- 6 Cubic Ft hopper with 12” wide chain
- Low level sensor to automatically start / stop the feeding of the caps into the cap chute
- Dial indicators or rulers for quick change over
- Larger cap elevators are available
Vibratory Bowl
Vibratory Bowls are perfect for special types of caps that cannot be fed in a cap sorting elevator. The bowl is tooled to meet the needs of your cap. Not all caps are able to run on the same bowl. The bowl can be placed on top of certain cappers or on its own base. A properly tooled bowl will orient the caps so that they are all oriented in the same way. They are then fed into a chute that leads to the capper.
Specifications
-
- Available in either 24” or 30” diameter
- Stainless Steel construction with Anodized parts
- Low level sensor to automatically start / stop the feeding of the caps into the cap chute.
- Manual or motorized up and down options
