Bottle Capping Machines

Selecting the right capping machine depends on your cap type, cap diameter, bottle height and diameter range, required production speed, and industry regulatory needs. Consider whether you need a rotary wheel, inline waterfall, or torque tightening system, and whether change-part-free operation is important for handling multiple container sizes.

Busch Machinery offers 4-wheel and 6-wheel rotary capping machines, inline waterfall-style cappers, standalone cap tighteners, and induction sealers. Configurations range from semi-automatic to fully automatic, supporting screw caps and induction seal caps across pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and chemical applications.

Depending on the model, cap diameters range from 8mm to 140mm, bottle diameters from 35mm to 200mm, and bottle heights from 1 inch to 350mm (14 inches). Most models require no change parts, allowing a single machine to handle this entire size range without retooling.

Yes. Busch Machinery's capping machines are constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, feature safety interlock switches, and support GMP-compliant operations. They are widely used for capping medicine bottles, vials, and supplement containers with tamper-evident screw caps in regulated pharmaceutical environments.

No. A key advantage of Busch Machinery's capping systems is that they require no change parts across a wide range of container and cap sizes, reducing changeover time and eliminating the cost of purchasing and storing multiple tooling sets for different bottle formats.

Cap application places and initially seats the cap onto the bottle, while cap tightening applies controlled torque to ensure the cap is sealed to a specified tightness for tamper-evidence and leak prevention. Some machines combine both functions, while standalone cap tighteners are used after separate capping steps.
