What is a cap torque tester used for?
The cap torque tester is used in the packaging industry to measure the opening or closuring torque of the screwing cap. It is a piece of specific quality control equipment that can be placed on the production line or in the laboratory.
What is Cap machine?
A Capping Machine is used to securely apply plastic or metal threaded caps, lids, snap caps, plugs and other similar closures to bottles or containers at low and extremely high speeds. Not only can Capping Machines save a product line time and money, Cappers also contribute to maintaining a sanitary work space.
How do Capping machines work?
Chuck cappers: Chuck cappers work by placing a cap onto a container, then sending it through the machine, where the moving parts spin the cap so it is sealed tightly. With this machine, the container is in continuous motion, rather than stopping at a spin station, as happens with spindle cappers.
What is a capper equipment?
Capping machines are used to place caps of different varieties onto bottles and packages. The machines are versatile enough to work with both plastic and metal threaded caps, and they place these with expert precision, ensuring a perfect fit each and every time.
How do you measure torque in a bottle?
By hand, apply the cap to the bottle slowly and evenly. As you tighten the cap you will notice that the digital readout on the torque tester is displaying the amount of torque you are applying to the cap. Continue to tighten the cap until the torque tester indicates that you have applied 13.0 inch lbs. of torque.
How does cap head work?
Chuck Capping Machines Rather than using side tightening, the systems use a chuck to grip the cap and spin it onto the bottle. The chuck mechanism contains a clutch to apply the precise torque needed, and machines can use a single head or multiple heads for faster production.
What is a spindle capper?
The spindle capper is probably the most popular automatic capping machine for screw type caps. This capper receives bottles with caps already set in place and then automatically tightens the caps using several sets of matched spinning disks, or spindle wheels.
How much torque does it take to remove a bottle cap?
Using the example of a soda bottle cap, an acceptable opening torque range may be between 15 and 20 pound-inches. A sample falling outside this range would be considered a reject, while a sample falling within the range would be considered acceptable.

A cap is properly sealed when the contents within the container cannot leak out and substances outside of the container cannot enter in. In addition, the end user must be able to open the container with a reasonable amount of effort; it should not be too difficult to open.
How do you adjust the torque on a capping machine?
By hand, apply the cap to the bottle slowly and evenly. As you tighten the cap you will notice that the top number on the torque tester is displaying the amount of torque you are applying to the cap. Continue to tighten the cap until the torque tester indicates that you have applied 13.0 inch lbs. of torque.
