Automatic Single Head Screw Capping Machine For Kenyan Industries

With Kenya’s pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and chemical industries rapidly expanding, there is a growing demand for automated packaging machinery that offers speed, consistency, and compliance with international quality standards.

Technogen Enterprise introduces the Automatic Single Head Screw Capping Machine – Model TGSC-50, a high-performance, CGMP-compliant solution designed to deliver precision bottle capping at speeds up to 50 bottles per minute. Whether your facility is in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, or Eldoret, this machine is a game-changer for efficient and accurate screw capping operations.

Product Overview: TGSC-50 Automatic Screw Capping Machine

Technogen’s Model TGSC-50 is a single-head automatic capping machine based on direct shut-pick technology, where caps are precisely placed on the bottle’s mouth directly through a chute. This robust, stainless steel machine delivers high capping accuracy with minimal operator intervention and reduced downtime.

It is engineered to handle bottles of various sizes and cap dimensions, making it suitable for diverse manufacturing lines – from pharma bottles to personal care jars and food-grade containers.

Key Features of the Automatic Screw Capping Machine

1. CGMP-Compliant Compact Architecture

• Designed as per Current Good Manufacturing Practices, the machine boasts a modular and compact footprint perfect for facilities where floor space is limited, such as those in industrial zones of Nairobi or Kisumu.

• SS 304-grade stainless steel construction ensures hygiene, strength, and corrosion resistance.

2. Direct Shut Pick Technology

• This intelligent capping mechanism ensures each screw cap is directly delivered onto the bottle neck via a chute, increasing placement accuracy and reducing cap deformation.

• Compatible with multiple cap feeding systems like:

  • Vibratory Feeder

  • Mechanical Orientator

  • Waterfall Elevator

3. “No Bottle – No Cap” Safety Feature

• Integrated photoelectric sensor halts the cap-feeding system if a bottle is absent.

• Minimizes wastage and prevents operational mishaps.

4. Synchronized Motion Control

• A single motor powers the conveyor, star wheel, and turret platform in perfect harmony.

• Ensures smooth and consistent bottle movement, reducing mechanical stress.

5. Accurate Magnetic Hysteresis Capping Head

• Equipped with a torque-adjustable magnetic hysteresis capping head to prevent over-tightening or under-tightening.

• Guarantees consistent torque for each bottle, essential for pharmaceuticals, where seal integrity is paramount.

6. Star Wheel with Safety Clutch

• Bottle handling is facilitated through a high-precision star wheel and back guide set, crafted from Delrin or UHMW, materials known for durability and low wear.

• Safety clutch on the star wheel stops the machine in case of obstruction, protecting bottles and equipment.

7. Fast Product Changeovers

• The machine supports quick changeovers without the need for complex tooling, making it ideal for contract manufacturers in Kenya handling multiple SKUs and packaging formats.

8. Interlocked Safety and Smart Controls

• Emergency stop mechanism

• Automatic orientator ON/OFF facility

• Easy-to-use control panel with precise production counting system for better line management
