Posicap
Automatic Capping Machine
As part of a production line, this automatic capping machine is capable of operating at up to 30 bottles per minute, which would normally require at least two operators to place and tighten by hand.
Simple cap head height adjustment and quick change jaws facilitate quick product changeovers, reducing downtime to a minimum. The Posicap is an ideal addition to an inline filling system and can be used as part of a fully automatic filling and capping line.
The Posicap automatic capping machine operates at a lower speed than the In-Line Universal Belt Capper but can be supplied with different capping heads depending on the application:
- Automatic Screw Capping
- Automatic ROPP Capping
- Automatic Cap Crimping
- Automatic Press-on and T-Corking
The Posicap can also be supplied with automatic cap feeding and placing systems as well as missing cap and reject systems if required.
ROPP Capper
Semi-Automatic Roll-On-Pilfer-Proof Capping Machine
Robust bench mounted capping machine for applying ROPP (roll-on-pilfer-proof) caps to bottles.
A wide range of bottle and cap sizes can be handled as the unit is supplied with a fully adjustable bottle platform and interchangeable capping heads are available. Two button start for safe operation.
Stainless steel forming wheels in the rotating capping head follow the thread on the bottle, creating a thread on the aluminium cap and tucking under the tamper evident ring.
Capping heads are available to suit a wide range of cap sizes and are usually made specific to each size of cap. Capping heads are interchangeable allowing you to run different sizes of cap with the same machine.
Available in both electric and pneumatic versions, the ROPP Capper is suitable for a wide range of cap and bottle sizes from, 18mm diameter up to 38mm diameter.
Typical bottle sizes of 50ml to 1000ml are handled as standard and bottles as small as 10ml can be handled by using pucks to hold the bottle during capping.
Capping heads are made entirely from stainless steel and are available with two, three or four independent rollers equipped with the No-Cap No-Roll safety device for closing aluminium caps and special closure types.

Our Trusted Partnership is crafted to provide you with exactly what it promises – 5 years peace of mind using your new equipment*.
It’s more than a warranty; It’s a partnership that ensures you have the confidence of a comprehensive 5-year parts and labour warranty from us, offering coverage should any issues arise with the equipment.
And, from our point of view, we appreciate your commitment to looking after your investment by having a regular annual maintenance service on it – just like you would on a new car.
This proactive approach helps maintain the optimal performance and longevity of your equipment, ensuring it continues to serve you well for years to come.
*5 year warranty only applies to UFMC-made equipment.
How it works
Each year, approximately two months before the anniversary of the initial installation, we will call you to arrange a 12-month preventative maintenance service for you.
You have the flexibility to choose between two convenient options – either to return the equipment for an inhouse service at Ashford or have an engineer call in to do an on-site service at your premises.
Once the service is completed, you’re then covered under our comprehensive warranty until the next anniversary date. This ensures that you’re protected against unforeseen issues and can continue operating with confidence.
As well as ensuring your equipment is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible, on each annual visit our engineer will take the time to discuss with you any operational issues you may be experiencing, that might be arising out of new products, containers, or new output requirements since you bought the equipment.
This is a great opportunity to ensure your Universal equipment is geared up to your current business needs and not yesterday’s ones.
