Line stage 06
Capping
The capping stage positions and closes the cap, including vacuum closing where required; matched bottle-and-cap samples and the plant acceptance method define the specific action.
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.
This stage can be added to an existing line or built into a new one. Surrounding machines, pack, normal and peak rates, fault handling, and layout determine the interfaces.
