Types of Caps We Have Experience Working With
Flat Caps
Flat caps are screw-on closures commonly used for beverages and condiments. The flat top surface makes them easy to manufacture and use. You can apply most flat caps using a SureKap automatic capper. SureKap developed the SK6000X-BF6 with a unique cap alignment system for reliable and cost-effective performance to prevent cross-threading issues with large-diameter caps.
Child-Resistant Caps
Child-resistant caps, essential for securing products like medications and household chemicals, require specific actions to open. They are designed with additional safety features to prevent accidental access by children. SureKap cappers can effectively apply these caps using a device that presses down on the cap while the spindles tighten it.
Sports Caps /
Push-Pull Caps
Sports or push-pull caps feature an easily operable spout for use on sports and water bottles, making drinking on the move convenient. The SureKap SK6000-SP automatic capper, equipped with a vibratory bowl for sorting and aligning, is ideal for applying these caps.
Tamper-Evident Caps
Tamper-evident caps have a security feature that shows visible signs if tampering has occurred, ensuring the safety of food and beverage products. While their application is similar to flat caps, it can be complicated by unique tamper-evident band configurations, requiring careful handling to avoid damage. We designed SureKap’s SK6000-BF6 and SK6000X-BF6 automatic cappers to apply most tamper-evident caps efficiently.
Flip-Top Caps
Flip-top caps, featuring a hinged lid for one-handed use, are commonly used on products like ketchup bottles and shampoos. Automatic application typically requires a vibratory bowl for sorting and alignment. In some cases, the SK6000-BF6 capper is ideal for caps with a diameter equal to or greater than their height.
Pump Dispensers
Pump dispensers, used for liquids like lotions and soaps, feature a screw-on cap with an integrated pump. Pump dispensers are common in personal care and cleaning products. Due to the protruding dip tube, SureKap cannot apply these pumps automatically. Instead, the SK600 cap tightener is ideal for tightening pumps onto bottles after manual insertion.
Trigger Sprayers
Trigger sprayers for spraying liquids like cleaning solutions feature a screw-on cap with a trigger mechanism. Similar to pump dispensers, SureKap cannot automatically apply these sprayers; however, the SK600 cap tightener is ideal for securing them after manual insertion. A unique thread-start guide simplifies the process, allowing users to drop the sprayers into the bottle without engaging the threads.
Yorker Caps
Yorker caps, featuring a narrow spout for controlled pouring, are ideal for condiments, paints, and adhesives. They offer precision and spill prevention. The SureKap SK6000-SP automatic capper, equipped with a vibratory bowl for sorting and alignment, is the ideal solution for applying these caps.
Lug Caps
Lug caps, used on glass jars for products like pickles and jams, feature angled metal tabs that grip the container threads as you twist the cap. SureKap advises using a KC-15 digital torque monitor on machines designed for lug capping to prevent damage from excessive application torque. The SK6000-BF6 automatic capper can reliably apply these caps with active torque monitoring.
Disc Caps
Disc caps, featuring a flip-open lid for controlled dispensing, are commonly used in personal care products like shampoo and lotion. Depending on the cap’s balance, SureKap may recommend using either the SK6000-BF6 or SK6000-SP with a vibratory bowl for automatic application.
