A Screw Capping Machine secures containers using threaded caps. The cap is positioned over the threaded neck of the bottle and rotated to achieve the required closure.
Spheretech's machine incorporates variable torque settings, allowing the capping process to be adjusted according to the requirements of the application.
The machine also includes automatic cap feeding and orientation, helping maintain a continuous supply of correctly oriented caps during the capping process.

How Does an Automatic Screw Capping Machine Work?
The screw capping process involves several coordinated operations:
Cap Feeding → Cap Orientation → Cap Placement → Screw Capping → Torque Control → Capped Container Outfeed
Cap Feeding
The automatic feeding system supplies caps to the capping mechanism.
Cap Orientation
Caps are oriented correctly before being presented to the bottles.
Cap Placement
The oriented cap is positioned on the threaded neck of the container.
Screw Capping
The cap is rotated onto the container thread to create the required closure.
Torque Control
Variable torque settings allow the capping process to be adjusted according to the application.
Outfeed Monitoring
A backup sensor can detect an outfeed blockage and stop the capping process until the issue is resolved.
Automatic Bottle Capping Machine
The Automatic Bottle Capping Machine is designed for bottle packaging lines where threaded closures need to be applied consistently.
It can be used with compatible rigid containers across applications such as:
- Edible oil
- Pharmaceutical products
- FMCG products
- Lubricant oils
- Other rigid filling-line applications
The appropriate bottle and cap configuration should be evaluated according to the actual packaging requirement.
Automatic Cap Feeding and Orientation
Consistent cap handling is an important part of automated screw capping.
Spheretech's Automatic Screw Capping Machine incorporates automatic cap feeding and orientation systems. These systems help supply and position threaded caps correctly before the capping operation.
This reduces the dependence on manual cap handling and supports a more continuous bottle capping process.
Variable Torque Screw Capping
Torque is an important consideration when applying threaded caps.
Spheretech's Screw Capping Machine provides variable torque settings, allowing the capping process to be adjusted according to the closure requirements.
This is particularly relevant for applications where consistent and secure threaded closure is required.
The appropriate torque setting should be established according to the bottle, cap and product packaging requirements.
Screw Capping Machine for Edible Oil Packaging
The machine is suitable for edible oil packaging applications where bottles or rigid containers use threaded closures.
The screw capping process provides a controlled method of securing the cap after filling, helping create a consistent packaging workflow.
For an automated edible oil packaging line, the capping stage can be integrated with upstream filling and downstream sealing, labelling and end-of-line equipment.
Screw Capping Machine for Pharmaceutical Packaging
Spheretech's Screw Capping Machine is also identified for pharmaceutical applications.
For pharmaceutical packaging, the capping process forms part of the overall container closure operation. Machine configuration and closure requirements should be selected according to the specific bottle, cap and production process.
Screw Capping Machine for Lubricant Oils
Lubricant oils commonly use rigid bottles and containers with threaded closures.
Spheretech's Automatic Screw Capping Machine can be used as part of compatible lubricant oil filling and packaging lines, providing automated screw-cap application after the filling stage.
Screw Capping Machine for FMCG Products
The machine is also suitable for selected FMCG packaging applications where threaded bottle closures are used.
Automatic cap feeding, orientation and screw capping allow the closure process to become part of a continuous packaging operation.
Screw Capping Machine for Rigid Filling Lines
Spheretech's Screw Capping Machine is designed for use with rigid filling lines, where bottles or containers are transported through the filling and capping process.
A typical packaging workflow:
Liquid Filling → Screw Capping → Sealing → Labelling → Coding → End-of-Line Packaging
This also creates a natural integration point with Spheretech's other packaging solutions.

How to Choose an Automatic Screw Capping Machine
Choosing the right Automatic Screw Capping Machine depends on the complete closure application.
Important considerations include:
- Bottle or container type
- Bottle neck design
- Thread type
- Cap type
- Required torque
- Production requirements
- Cap feeding requirements
- Existing filling machine
- Packaging-line layout
- Required automation level
- Downstream sealing and labelling equipment
The machine should be selected according to the complete bottle-and-cap combination rather than production speed alone.
Automatic Screw Capping Machine Integration
For manufacturers looking to automate their complete bottle packaging process, the screw capping stage can be integrated with other packaging equipment.
A typical automated line:
Filling → Screw Capping → Induction Sealing → Labelling → Coding and Marking → Case Packing
Spheretech's wider packaging portfolio includes filling, capping, sealing, labelling and end-of-line solutions, creating opportunities for integrated packaging automation.
