Torque-controlled tightening
Screw capping is usually chosen for threaded closures where consistent torque is needed without damaging the cap, thread or bottle.
Screw cappers
Screw capping machines for threaded bottles.
Bottle screw cappers for plastic and glass containers where repeatable torque, cap presentation and bottle control determine production reliability.

FAQs
Screw capping machines questions
What bottles suit screw capping machines?
Round, square or oval bottles can often be handled, but the final specification depends on bottle stability, cap diameter, cap height, thread style and output target.
Can a screw capper handle pump caps?
Some pump closures can be handled on specialist screw capping machinery, but dip-tube control and cap orientation must be checked first.
