Technogen Enterprise, Ahmedabad, India, is a reputed manufacturer and supplier of Semi Automatic Lug Capping Machines, offering reliable and cost-effective solutions for secure container sealing. This machine is specifically designed to meet the capping requirements of food processing industries, vinegar manufacturers, pickle producers, and similar applications where lug caps are widely used.
The Semi Automatic Lug Capping Machine is engineered for consistent torque application and high sealing quality. Bottles are placed manually into the machine, after which a motorized pneumatic-powered jaw-type sealing head performs precise and uniform lug capping. This ensures strong cap locking, excellent vacuum retention, and tamper-evident sealing for glass and plastic containers.
With its compact structure, simple operation, and robust construction, this machine is ideal for small to medium-scale production units seeking dependable performance without the complexity of fully automatic systems.
Working Principle
The Semi Automatic Lug Capping Machine operates using a motorized pneumatic jaw-type sealing mechanism. The operator manually places the bottle with a lug cap into the machine. Once positioned, the sealing cycle is initiated, and the pneumatic jaws apply controlled pressure and torque to the lug cap.
The jaws rotate and lock the cap securely onto the container, ensuring uniform sealing without damaging the cap or container. The motorized head movement guarantees repeatable results, while the pneumatic system ensures smooth, controlled operation with minimal noise and vibration.
