• Sealing containers in food and beverage production.
• Securing lids on pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
• Applying caps to chemical and household product containers.
• Packaging in the nutraceutical and supplement industries.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 20 to 100 containers per minute, depending on container size and cap type.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required, often with pneumatic connections for actuation.

Suitable container types

Typically designed for rigid containers such as plastic or glass bottles and jars, accommodating various shapes and sizes within a specified range.

Cap/Lid types

This type of machine is generally suitable for press-on lids, snap-on caps, and some types of overcapping, rather than screw caps.

Footprint

The footprint for a standalone lid press machine typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1m, though this can vary.

Construction materials

Units are commonly constructed from stainless steel for contact parts and framework, ensuring hygiene and durability in industrial environments.
