Line stage 06

Capping

The Capping stage provides its equipment action and handoff within the line for new, expanded, or upgraded projects.

Surrounding equipment, conveyor height, package samples, and target rate confirm this stage's specific interfaces with the line.

Equipment and interfaces for this stage

See this equipment stage's role in the line and the interfaces to confirm with the work before and after it.

Cross-threading, cap marks, damaged tamper rings, and different vacuum needs point to different routes such as four-wheel, steam-vacuum, or tracking vacuum capping.

Send matched bottle and cap samples, finish drawing, torque or opening check, vacuum need, steam conditions, container material, and target rate.

Equipment in the supplied folder

Start with the equipment routes actually documented for this stage.

The names and roles below come from the supplied line-process folder. They are equipment routes to compare, not confirmation that they fit your product, pack, or required rate.

Four-wheel capper.: One capping option in the supplied material; the real bottle-and-cap pair still needs confirmation.
Steam vacuum capper.: The steam-vacuum capping route included in the supplied material.
Tracking vacuum capper.: The tracking vacuum-capping route included in the supplied material.

Labeling

Confirm the equipment and site interfaces for Capping.

This stage can be confirmed around infeed, outfeed, utilities, and site handoffs. To apply it to a specific project, add surrounding equipment, conveyor height, package samples, target rates, fault handling, and a dimensioned layout.
