Automatic Single Head Bottle Screw Capping Machine
Reliable Screw Capping for Diverse Industries
The Harsiddh Single Head Bottle Screw Capping Machine (HBCS-60S) is a versatile workhorse for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. Recognized for its low power utilization and compact footprint, this machine delivers consistent, airtight torque for plastic or metal screw caps. With its CE-certified design and inbuilt production counter, it offers a reliable solution for lines requiring outputs of up to 2,500 bottles per hour.
Reliable Operational Workflow
The machine provides a stable, synchronized flow from bottle indexing to final capping.
Sequence of Operation:
- In-feed: Bottles move along the SS conveyor and are indexed into the star wheel.
- Cap Orientation: Screw caps are oriented in the vibratory bowl and delivered via a chute for pick-up.
- Capping: The single capping head picks the cap and applies the precise required torque as the bottle is held securely.
- Detection: The system monitors for “No Bottle” or “Cap Jam” scenarios, triggering an auto-stop if necessary.
- Discharge: Successfully capped bottles are smoothly transferred back to the conveyor for labeling or secondary packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the machine handle different types of plastic screw caps?
Yes. The Harsiddh Single Head Screw Capper is highly versatile and can process a wide range of plastic closures, including standard threaded caps, flip-top caps, and ribbed caps. The picking and placing mechanism is precision-engineered to ensure that the threads are aligned correctly before the final torque is applied.
How is the capping torque controlled to prevent over-tightening?
To ensure product integrity and prevent damage to the cap or bottle threads, the machine is equipped with an Adjustable Magnetic Torque Capping Head. This allows the operator to set a specific torque limit. Once the cap reaches the desired tightness, the head "slips" or disengages, ensuring a uniform and secure seal for every bottle.
How does the automatic cap feeding and orientation system work?
To maintain a fully automated workflow, the machine includes an integrated Vibratory or Rotary Cap Elevator/Orientor. This unit automatically sorts bulk caps from a hopper, aligns them in the correct orientation (open-side down), and feeds them into the delivery chute. The "No Bottle – No Cap" sensor ensures that a cap is only released when a bottle is in position.
What are the key construction and maintenance standards?
As a cGMP-compliant model, the machine is built for durability and high hygiene standards:
Materials: The main frame and all covers are made of SS 304 stainless steel, while the star-wheels and guide rails are made of high-grade engineering plastics.
Changeovers: The machine features a height-adjustment column and "Quick-Change" parts, allowing for easy transitions between different bottle sizes with minimal downtime.
Safety: The unit is equipped with an emergency stop button and can be fitted with a transparent acrylic safety cabinet for operator protection.
