LUG CAPPING MACHINE

Product Details:

A Lug Capping Machine with PLC Base is an automated machine used in packaging industries to cap containers—usually glass jars—with lug caps (also known as twist-off caps). These machines are essential in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic production lines. Below is a detailed description of its components, working, and benefits:
. Functionality

The machine is designed to:

• Automatically place and tighten lug caps on containers (usually jars).

• Ensure proper torque for a secure seal.

• Reduce manual labor and increase production efficiency.

Working Principle

1. Container Feeding: Containers are moved into the machine via a conveyor.

2. Cap Placement: Lug caps are automatically sorted and positioned on the jars.

3. Cap Tightening: The capping head grips and twists the cap with a preset torque.

4. Inspection: Sensors verify if the cap is properly sealed.

5. Rejected Bottles: If capping fails, the jar is automatically rejected.

6. Exit: Properly capped containers exit the machine for labeling or packing.

Common Applications

• Food processing (jams, sauces, pickles)

• Pharmaceuticals (ointments in jars)

• Cosmetics (creams, lotions)

• Chemical products (solvents, pastes)
