Snap-On Cappers
Request More Information ›PackWest designs manufactures, and supports inline capping systems for press-in and snap-on container closures. Our inline snap-on capping equipment and press-in capping systems are budget-friendly, easy to operate, and inexpensive to maintain compared to rotary capping systems. Container capping and cap changeovers are simple and often require no tools to complete, and when needed, a single tool is sufficient.
PackWest inline snap-on cappers and press-in cappers accommodate a wide range of container sizes, shapes, and types, as well as a variety of cap types and sizes. These systems are ideal for caps designed for applications requiring top-force pressure, such as:
Over-caps
Friction fit caps
Spice jar shaker inserts
Plug caps
Our inline snap-on capping systems and press-in capping equipment are widely used in the personal care, household cleaning, laundry, automotive, food, and industrial chemical industries. To learn more about these cappers, contact PackWest today.
PackWest inline snap-on capping equipment and press-in place capping systems are designed for:
- Plastic inserts, plugs, shaker caps, or overcaps designed to be applied onto a container via top-force pressure
- Cylindrical, square, rectangular and oval containers with or without handles
- Speeds up to 300 cpm (18,000 cph)
- Container heights from 2.0” (50 mm) to 15.0” (381 mm)
- Container diameters from 0.5” (12 mm) to 9.9” (175 mm)
- Closure diameters from 0.3” (8 mm) to 5.3” (135 mm)
- Space constrained line layouts
-
Capping systems include integrated cap hoppers, cap elevators, and a waterfall or rotary disk cap sorter
