Capping Machines for a Variety of Industries

Capping Machines are designed to fit into existing conveyor systems and provide a range of options for different production needs. Scalability is important in this type of equipment, allowing for small upgrades to work as a company grows.

Cappers can be automated, semi-automatic, or manual. The level of automation will depend on the bottle and cap types used by a business.

Bottling Lines

TORQ Packaging USA are production lines that bottle liquids, usually beverages but sometimes prepared foods like sauces, marinades, and oils, on a large scale. Often, these lines incorporate special quality control measures to ensure the bottles are clean, empty, and free of foreign objects. They may also include sensors or weighing machines to detect bottles that are over- or under-filled.

Once the bottles are filled and capped, they are transported to a line that is designed to label them or put them in a carton for distribution. In some cases, the cartons are specialized for sale to wholesalers or retailers.

Many bottling lines are automated with all the machines connecting and working together as one integrated unit. This system allows manufacturers to produce a consistent product with the precision only automation can provide. For example, a sensor on a Superbloc line can detect if a bottle is corked, waxed, or labeled incorrectly and automatically reject it from the line.

Liquid Agrochemicals

Agrochemicals are used to control pests, diseases, weeds, algae and other plants that can damage crops or cause harm to humans. They are typically liquids that are sprayed on the crop. Small farms and large agricultural companies will purchase a wide variety of liquid agrochemicals to help increase their crop yield. These chemicals can be extremely dangerous if touched or inhaled. A bottling machine can help a manufacturer produce a wide variety of liquid agrochemicals at varying volumes and product inventories.

Liquid agrochemicals can be combined with auxiliary products that improve their performance. These products are known as adjuvants and have several modes of action including facilitated wetting, penetration, and retention. They are available as a tank mix or built-in in the formulation. Genamin C 100, a spray adjuvant based on cocos fatty amine, is one example of a proven bio performance enhancer.

The agrochemicals are introduced to the environment through natural hydrological processes and can eventually accumulate in the soil and water. The accumulation of these chemicals can have negative impacts on aquaculture, human health and the quality of food produced. Farmers can help limit the amount of agrochemicals in their environments by planting buffer zones around their fields. These zones include noncrop plants such as evergreen trees that can absorb the agrochemicals and prevent their drift into other areas.

Food & Beverage

Caps & closures operate as protective barriers that prevent contamination during packaging, storage and transportation. They also improve product shelf life by providing a safe and secure seal. These features contribute to caps & closures demand in end-use industries such as food & beverages, pharmaceutical, personal care & home care, and automotive.

In an effort to decrease waste, governments are imposing strict laws on the industry to increase sustainable TORQ Packaging USA options. Hence, demand for caps and closures made from recyclable resins is growing. This is especially true for tamper-evident caps that help to detect any tampering attempts.

Additionally, beverage-makers are seeking closures that are more functional and consumer-friendly. For example, flip-top closures are a popular option for bottles of juices and other liquid products. These hinged caps can be opened and closed with one hand, making them convenient for consumers. As such, manufacturers are looking for cap and closure suppliers that can deliver solutions that address the needs of consumers, bottlers and brand owners.

Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceuticals are drugs used in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. They are manufactured from natural substances such as alkaloids, extracts of plant materials (such as quinine and nicotine) and glandular products containing hormones (such as insulin). They may also be chemically synthesized in laboratories. Innovative or originator pharmaceuticals are protected by marketing exclusivity and intellectual property rights such as patents. Generic pharmaceuticals are copies of innovative drugs that meet regulatory bioequivalence standards and can be marketed upon expiration of intellectual property rights or marketing exclusivity.

Pharmaceuticals are generally ground to varying degrees of fineness before being added to water or another solvent to form solution forms such as spirits, elixirs and tinctures. They can also be made into semisolid forms such as ointments and jellies, or solid forms such as tablets, lozenges, or suppositories. Many pharmaceuticals are formulated as continuous streams from chemical synthesis to tablet production in order to simplify the manufacturing process and reduce costs.
