Manual Bottle Cap Press

Quick, efficient and adaptable manual capping solution for bottles, ideal for small-scale and flexible production environments.

Product details

  • Manual, Efficient Bottle Capping
    The Manual Bottle Cap Press is a bench-top, hand-operated, spring-loaded capping machine designed for reliable fixing of press-on caps. Its simple mechanical operation makes it well suited to small-scale and flexible production environments where speed, control and consistency are required.
  • Adaptable for Press-On Caps & Containers
    The cap press enables secure fitting of press-on lids and caps to a wide variety of container types. A coarse height adjustment combined with a fine adjustable stop allows accurate and repeatable pressing, while an adjustable bottle-positioning vee ensures the container is correctly aligned beneath the press pad.
  • Interchangeable Press Pads
    The standard press pad is a 50 mm diameter flat press. Interchangeable, specially shaped press pads can be manufactured to suit containers with shaped or contoured tops, providing additional flexibility across different product ranges.
  • Adjustable Design for Different Bottle Sizes
    The machine features adjustable height and depth settings to accommodate bottles ranging from 21–85 mm in diameter and up to 240 mm in height, supporting a wide range of bottle formats.
  • Compact, Durable Benchtop Construction
    Its compact bench-top format conserves valuable workspace while delivering long-term reliability. The main construction materials are stainless steel and anodised aluminium alloy, ensuring durability and minimal maintenance requirements.
  • Simple, Operator-Friendly Use
    Designed for ease of use, the Manual Bottle Cap Press is quick to set up and intuitive to operate. Consistent results can be achieved with minimal operator training, making it ideal for short production runs or frequently changing formats.
