Capping & Crimping Machines

Capping and crimping machines are industrial equipment used to apply secure closures to filled containers such as vials, bottles, syringes, cartridges, and other packaging formats. These systems ensure consistent sealing and help protect product integrity, prevent leaks, and improve overall packaging line efficiency.

This page presents TurboFil’s capping and crimping solutions, ranging from benchtop to semi-automatic and fully automatic systems that support pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, and specialty manufacturing applications.

The Machines

  • Automatic Crimpers

    Perfect for perfume pumps, pharmaceutical vials, and a multitude of other products. Speeds of up to 60ppm.

  • Benchtop Crimping

    Tabletop options for crimping. Effective and efficient!

  • Automatic Chuck Capper

    High producing, gentle and accurate cappers. Speeds of 40-120ppm.

  • Benchtop Chuck Capper

    A great option for achieving a professional level seal in a small space.

What Are Capping & Crimping Machines?

Capping machines are designed to attach caps and closures — including screw caps, tamp-on caps, and threaded lids — to filled containers with repeatable torque and alignment. Crimping machines apply controlled force to shape metal closures around a container neck, creating a secure and consistent seal, often used with pharmaceutical vials and tamper-evident closures.

TurboFil offers systems for both capping and crimping to match a wide range of container sizes, closure types, and production requirements, helping packaging lines operate with precision and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Crimpers

  • Designed to crimp metal seals, aluminum caps, or tamper-evident closures on vials and small containers.

  • Available in automatic and benchtop formats.

Screw Cappers

  • Machines that apply threaded caps with controlled torque to bottles, jars, or similar containers.

  • Automatic chuck cappers and benchtop chucks provide precise torque and repeatability.

Tamp-On/Press-On Cappers

  • Used for applying push-on or snap-on closures in packaging formats like personal care or specialty containers.

Systems may feature servo motors for precise control over torque and placement, ensuring secure, repeatable closures.

TurboFil capping and crimping machines are available across automation levels:

  • Benchtop cappers and crimpers – compact systems for small runs or pilot production

  • Semi-automatic machines – operator-assisted sealing with improved repeatability

  • Fully automatic solutions – high-speed systems for continuous production

Each configuration is designed to match production goals, container formats, and integration requirements within packaging lines

Capping and crimping machines are often integrated downstream of filling systems to create efficient end-to-end packaging workflows. When combined with conveyors, inspection systems, labeling, and automated handling, these technologies help deliver consistent results with reduced manual intervention.

Yes. Each closure type and container geometry typically requires specific tooling or attachments to ensure reliable performance and proper sealing.

Yes. TurboFil offers both semi-automatic and fully automatic capping and crimping machines to match throughput and integration needs.
