Capping Machines Military Industry

Capping Machines help you get your products into the hands of customers quickly and securely. There are a variety of different capping machines available to you depending on your needs and bottle cap type.

Chuck capping machines use accessories that help the machine grip and tighten caps to seal containers. They can be used in small operations or large production lines.

Bottling Lines

Bottle capping machines are used to seal bottles using screw-on or continuous thread type closures. These machines are usually placed between labelers and case packers in production lines. They can be used to seal all types of containers, including glass and plastic, and can operate at high speeds. These machines also offer different size and method options for closing containers.

Bottling lines streamline the entire packaging process by combining numerous machines and equipment. This helps eliminate manual intervention, resulting in improved productivity and flow. They feature a variety of quality control measures, including sensors and weighing machines to detect over- or under-filled bottles, as well as metal detection.

A quality bottling line should be easy to adjust when bottle specifications change. It should also be efficient and accurate. For instance, some bottling lines use a piston filler, which works best with low-viscosity liquids. These machines work by pumping product from one part of the machine to another in exact quantities.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Automatic TORQ Packaging USA machines are essential in the pharmaceutical industry to prevent bottle leakage, spoilage and contamination. They can be used in conjunction with pill counting and labeling machines for maximum efficiency. These machines are designed to handle large volumes of bottles at high speeds and can be easily programmed to accommodate different types of caps and bottle shapes.

The machines can be fully automatic or semi-automatic. They use a chute to deliver caps to the bottle, which the capper then snaps onto the container before tightening. This type of machine is usually more reliable than a chuck style capper and can be set up to run with various cap sizes.

These machines also offer a choice of rotary or inline cappers that can run with skirted and aluminum caps. They can also be configured to dispense caps using a pick and place method with a robotic-like arm that presents the cap for the capper to grab and seal.

Military Industry

The defence industry cannot afford to expand production without clear forward visibility of demand, so manufacturers are only able to commit resources if they have a contract for their products. This can be risky, however, as the war in Ukraine has revealed that presumptively efficient munitions procurement processes are often not as efficient as they seem.

Military materials, particularly rare earth metals and chemicals used in munitions, are in short supply. Some systems have long lead times, with ten to 20 months needed from order to delivery of unguided artillery rounds.

The DoD is also reliant on foreign governments, particularly China, for large cast and forged products used in defense systems, as well as machine tools and manufacturing systems. This is exacerbated by industrial espionage and state-backed adversarial capital pressures. The DoD is implementing new measures to promote competition in these areas at both the portfolio group and individual contract action levels. This includes a focus on building the capacity of sub-tier companies.

Food Industry

The food industry offers many different types of products in jars, cans or bottles. The type of product will usually not play as big a role in determining the correct capping machine as the packaging it is packaged in. A uni-frame capping machine, for example, is a great choice because it can include bottle rinsing machines, chuck cappers and labelers in one piece of equipment.

These line systems can either be linear or rotary and are designed to provide high performance, precise filling quantities, flexibility for various bottle or can formats. This line of machinery also includes coding machines, which can print the expiration date or other information on the label.

The agri-food sector is made up of many players, from small honey producers to large international groups. The needs of each are distinct, which is why CDA offers semi-automatic labeling or capping machines and monoblocs adapted to these specific demands. The machines are also scalable, allowing them to grow alongside your business.
