Screw & Twist-Off Caps
Threaded caps & metal lug lids
Match the closure thread and tightening method. Vacuum capping requires a suitable model and process.
Screw cappers →Twist-off cappers →Capping Machines
Compare ZONESUN cappers for bottles, jars and other containers. Choose by closure type, container dimensions and output—from hand-operated tools to automatic line integration.
Which Capping Machine Fits Your Container?
Choose the closure method first, then compare tooling, operator tasks and output.
Pump & Trigger Closures
Lotion pumps & spray heads
Check dip-tube handling, cap placement and tightening. A feeder-only module needs a separate capping station.
Pump cappers →Trigger pump cappers →Perfume & Vial Crimping
Crimp seals & bottle collars
Confirm the neck finish, seal size and tooling. Perfume-pump crimping and vial closure use different setups.
Perfume crimpers →Vial cappers →ROPP Closures
Roll-on aluminum caps
Choose tooling for the aluminum shell and bottle neck. Confirm thread-forming and closure requirements.
ROPP cappers →Press-On Lids & Inserts
Snap lids, overcaps & inner lids
Check the required pressing action and container support. Inner-lid placement may precede a separate outer-cap station.
Press-on cappers →Inner-lid inserters →Corks & Crown Caps
Stopper insertion or crown crimping
These closures need different mechanisms. Select cork-insertion equipment or a dedicated crown-cap crimper.

Manual, Semi-Automatic or Automatic?
Compare how bottles and caps reach the station, and which steps still need an operator.
Manual & Handheld
For operator-led batches. Compare hand tools and powered handheld cappers by closure fit, handling and repeatability.
Compare manual cappers →Semi-Automatic
An operator loads the bottle or cap for the machine cycle. Check fixture changes, cap tooling and air supply.
Compare semi-automatic cappers →Automatic
For conveyor-fed production. Confirm whether sorting, cap placement, tightening and rejection are included or separate.
Compare automatic cappers →Four Details for Equipment Selection
Cap & Neck
Closure style, dimensions, neck finish, liner and any dip tube.
Container
Photos or drawings, material, shape, height and stability.
Closure Quality
Required torque, crimp or pressing result, plus inspection criteria.
Output & Handling
Target containers per minute, cap loading and changeover needs.
Standard formats can be reviewed from clear specifications. Custom tooling or unusual closures may require samples and a trial.
From Filling to Capping and Labeling
Plan transfer height, container spacing, line speed and controls together. Specify cap feeding separately from the closing station.

Capping Machine FAQs
Can one machine handle screw caps, ROPP caps and crimp seals?
Do not assume interchangeability. These closures use different closing mechanisms. Confirm the supported closure family, bottle neck and tooling for each model.
Does an automatic capper include cap sorting and feeding?
Not always. Some machines tighten caps placed by an operator or a separate module. Check which sorting, placement and closing stages are included in the quoted configuration.
How do I specify torque or change between cap sizes?
Provide the closure supplier's requirements and all bottle and cap formats. Torque adjustment, measurement and feedback differ by model; changing sizes may require different chucks, guides or fixtures.
Does capping replace induction foil sealing?
No. Tightening a cap and bonding an induction liner are separate operations. Where a foil seal is required, confirm the container, cap and liner compatibility and the additional sealing station.
