Universal Belt Capper
Automatic Capping Machine
The Universal Belt Capper is one of the most versatile automatic capping machines available, handling a wide range of screw caps and bottle sizes from 10ml to 5-litre jerry cans without additional change parts.
Designed for efficiency, this automatic screw capping machine features tool-free changeovers for fast, seamless adjustments. Standard numerical indicators simplify machine settings, ensuring repeatable accuracy.
Using durable rubber belts, the bottle capping machine secures containers to prevent twisting, while a second set of belts tightens the cap to the correct torque before disengaging.
For enhanced automation, cap feeding, missing cap detection, and reject systems can be integrated. It also supports trigger and pump spray alignment with a simple guidance system.
An essential part of an automatic inline capping machine setup, the Universal Belt Capper is the perfect addition to a filling and capping line.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of caps can the Universal Belt Capper handle?
The Universal Belt Capper is designed to handle a wide range of pre-threaded closures, including screw caps, trigger sprays, pump sprays, push-pull caps, flip-top caps and tamper-evident caps. Its versatile belt-tightening system accommodates different cap designs, making it suitable for a variety of bottles and containers. Cap compatibility can be confirmed by assessing your specific closure.
How fast can the Universal Belt Capper tighten bottle caps?
The Universal Belt Capper can tighten up to 60 bottles per minute, depending on the container, cap type and production setup. Its continuous inline operation allows bottles to move through the machine without stopping and starting between capping cycles, helping maintain a consistent production flow.
How does the Universal Belt Capper ensure consistent cap tightening?
The machine uses two sets of rubber belts to achieve reliable, consistent cap tightening. The first set holds the bottle securely to prevent it from twisting, while the second set rotates and tightens the cap. A clutch mechanism disengages the tightening belts once the required torque is reached, helping achieve consistent closure application up to 10Nm.
Can the Universal Belt Capper be integrated into an existing filling line?
Yes. The Universal Belt Capper is designed for inline operation and can be integrated with Universal Filling Machine Company’s automatic filling machines or adapted to work with equipment from other manufacturers. Options include automatic cap feeding using hopper elevators or vibratory bowl feeders, as well as missing-cap detection and reject systems, allowing the machine to form part of a fully automated filling and capping line.
