Brilliant Automatic Packing and Shrinking Machine for Metal Twist-Off Caps and Lids

When you are manufacturing metal twist-off lids or SKO lids, you are already aware of the pressure: one-time purchases, high hygiene requirements, increased labor expenses and customers who believe in flawless packaging, each and every time. 

Manual packing remains the slowest and most costly procedure in the entire production process of many Belarusian, Russian and CIS factories. Mistakes in count, slow packing rate, employee exhaustion, irregular sealing, etc., can easily postpone deliveries and erode profitability.

The good news? An automatic packing machine will change your whole line into a modern one. 

This article will help you understand why automated cap packaging is necessary, how this system operates, the benefits of this system to metal cap factories and how to select the right counting and packing machine to suit your business.

Why Packaging Metal Caps Requires More Than Manual Labor

It might seem simple to pack metal twist-off caps, but any manufacturer in Belarus, Russia, or the CIS countries knows the secret: the manual process of packing becomes a bottleneck when volume of production increases. What might appear manageable with a few employees can lead to time delays, miscalculations and escalating expenses.

Manual labor becomes risky as your business expands. An increased number of workers means increased training, increased wages, increased margin of errors and increased difficulty in scaling during high seasons. And that is why a great number of cap manufacturers are now moving to a modern automatic packing machine (not as a luxury, but as an indispensable measure to achieve speed, quality and profitability).

Many modern packaging-automation studies show that factories can boost their output by 25-35% and cut labor costs by 20-30% simply by upgrading to automated systems.

Meet the Brilliant Solution: A Fully Automatic Packing Machine for Metal Caps

When you are sick of the manual packing that is slow and erratic, this is the upgrade your production line needs. The complete automatic metal cap packing machine makes the task much faster, cleaner and much more precise than any human crew. And the best part? It operates 24 hours without losing track or pace.

With automation, all the caps are counted, packed, and sealed in very much the same manner: no guesswork, no lost parts, no time wasted. Your team will finally be able to concentrate on more valuable tasks than on hand-packing.

This machine is designed for cap manufacturers who want higher output, zero packing errors, and a more professional-looking final product. Simple controls, stable performance, and long-term reliability make it a smart investment for factories aiming to scale.

This system integrates counting, bagging, paper cards feeding, heat shrinking, and final packaging palletizing in one streamlined line.

How Our Automatic Packing Machine Works (A Simple Breakdown)

Understanding how an automatic packing machine works makes it easy to see why it’s worth the investment. Let’s break it down step by step.

1. Feeding & Sorting

The caps are placed into a hopper, and the machine automatically aligns and sorts the caps. No manual handling is needed. This also allows free flow and avoids jamming.

2. Precision Counting

Our system has a high-speed electronic counting and packing machine unit.

● Normal Speed: 240 caps/min, as 82mm TO 20pcs per pack

● High Speed: up to 400 caps /min, as 82mm TO 20pcs per pack

3. Automatic Bagging & Cards Feeding

After being counted, the caps were put into plastic PE/POF/PVC bags, choosing one of the three. A packing line suitable for 10pcs and 20pcs cap only one size. Non-adhesive paper labels will be placed perfectly inside.

4. Heat Shrinking & Sealing

The filled bags pass through a heat shrinking tunnel. Heat shrink packaging:

● Prevents dust

● Improves shelf presentation

● Increases stackability

● Ensures tamper resistance

5. Output & Palletizing

Finished cap tubes were packaging and heat shrinking again, as 12 tubes one package, and then palletizing on the pallets. This minimizes the work at the warehouse and accelerates logistics.

In short, one operator runs the entire line.

With these five steps, your caps go from bulk trays to ready-for-sale packages in minutes. No mistakes, no delays, no extra labor.

The Big Advantages for CIS Metal Cap Manufacturers

Upgrading to a fully automatic packing machine comes with benefits you can see and measure. Here’s why factories across Belarus, Russia, and CIS countries love it:

1. Built for High-Capacity Production

Many TO caps and SKO cps factories like handle large daily volumes. This equipment keeps up with industrial-level speed without breakdowns.

2. Consistent, Accurate Counting

The counting and packing machine makes sure that every bag contains the exact amount of caps. There are no more customer complaints and lost products due to miscounts.

3. Reduces Labor Costs Fast

A single trained operator is sufficient instead of 6-10 packers. The entire line can be managed by one operator. That translates to reduced number of workers, decreased wages, and reduction in training hours but increased productivity.

4. Cleaner Packaging = Better Brand Reputation

Automation does not involve any direct human interaction with caps. Your packages remain dust-free and meet the hygiene requirements, which are ideal in food-grade lids.

5. Less Wastage, More Profit

Caps are handled gently and precisely. Bags are sealed perfectly, reducing dents, scratches, or torn bags. Less waste = more profit.

6. Built to Last

Strong stainless steel construction and robust motors guarantee reliability in the long term, even when used in busy and cold-weather factories, typical in CIS areas.

How to Choose a Quality Automatic Packing Machine

Purchasing an automatic packing machine is not a small thing. Not every machine is constructed in the same way and selecting the incorrect one can result in time and money lost. Here’s what to look for:

1. Counting Accuracy

Your counting and packing machine must provide almost 100% accuracy. Inaccurate counts result in wastage and dissatisfied customers.

2. Build Quality

Find machines with stainless steel bodies, durable motors and robust frames. Low-quality materials may lead to vibration, poor counting and breakages.

3. Sealing and Heat Shrinking Performance

Make sure that the heat tunnel spreads the temperature evenly. Low quality of shrink will result in lumpy sealing and faulty packaging.

4. Ease of Use

Equipped with red, yellow, and green alarm indicator lights. easily use and control with touch-screen PLC in English, Russian, languages of other CIS countries. With detailed operation videos and instruction manuals, one trained operator should be able to run the line smoothly.

5. Stability for Cap Size

Each counting and shrinking packing line focuses on one lid(caps) size.This eliminates the inconvenience and lengthy debugging time associated with frequently changing different sizes, which can lead to machine instability and reduced efficiency. Therefore, each machine is only suitable for one size.

6. After-Sales Support

A trusted supplier provides installation instructions, technical support, and spare parts ready for CIS delivery. Your investment is only as good as the support you receive.

7. Long-Term Reliability

Check the expected lifetime. With minimal maintenance, high-quality machines more than 10 years, leaving your factory productive over the long run.
