Automatic Single Head Lug Capping Machine – South Africa

Automatic Lug Capping Machine for Food and Beverage Bottles

Introducing the Automatic Single Head Lug Capping Machine – Model TGLC-50, designed and manufactured by Technogen Enterprise, a globally trusted Indian exporter of packaging machinery. This precision-engineered machine is purpose-built for applying lug caps on glass, PET, or HDPE jars and bottles used in industries such as:

• Pickle and condiment manufacturing

• Dairy and milk bottling plants

•  Tomato puree and sauce bottling

• Vinegar and food preservative lines

• Jam, jelly, honey, and paste filling sectors

Operating at a consistent speed of 30 to 40 bottles per minute, the TGLC-50 lug capper provides effortless, high-torque sealing, making it a reliable companion for South African food and beverage manufacturers across Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria, and Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).

Unmatched Precision with Magnetic Hysteresis Clutch Technology

The standout feature of this lug capping machine is its pneumatic-mechanical magnetic hysteresis clutch-based capping head, which guarantees uniform torque application during the sealing process. This ensures:

• Airtight, secure closures for better product shelf-life

• Consistency in torque to avoid cap breakage or under-tightening

• Compliance with packaging standards for export-grade products

Additionally, the No Bottle – No Cap mechanism eliminates cap wastage, enhances safety, and reduces downtime, ensuring that your production line runs smoothly and efficiently.

Key Features of the TGLC-50 Lug Capper

Engineered with a compact footprint, this model is perfect for space-conscious production lines, offering easy integration without compromising performance.

Salient Features:

• Compact Model
  Efficient design minimizes floor space usage.

• Stainless Steel Construction
  All parts that come into contact with bottles or caps are made from SS 304, offering excellent corrosion resistance and hygiene.

• Synchronized Operation
  One motor drives the star wheel, capping turret, and conveyor, ensuring uniform motion throughout the system.

• Advanced Lug Capping Head
  The hysteresis clutch-based capping head enables precise torque control, which is vital for jars and bottles used in food packaging.

• Flexible Cap Feeding System
  Dual feeders – cap elevator and cap vibrator – ensure uninterrupted and correctly oriented cap delivery to the capping station.

• Quick Changeover
  Change from one bottle size to another in minutes, reducing downtime and increasing line flexibility.

Built-In Safety & Interlock Systems

Technogen takes operator safety and production reliability seriously. The TGLC-50 lug capping machine includes standard interlocks and safety systems to protect both machine and operator.

Safety & Interlock Features:

• No Bottle – No Cap Interlock
  The machine pauses operation if no bottle is detected, preventing cap wastage.

• Star Wheel Safety Clutch
  Instantly stops the machine if jamming or over-torque is detected.

• Automatic Orientator ON/OFF System
  Feeder switches on only when required, reducing wear and power usage.

• Emergency Stop
  Immediate shutdown in case of operator alert or system fault.
