The challenge: designing the first Capping Machine for Trigger Sprayers
When trigger sprayers started becoming widespread in home care products during the 90s, they brought a technical challenge: no automatic capping machine existed to handle this type of closure at high speed, with reliability.
Mengibar developed the first capping machine specifically designed for trigger sprayers, combining precision mechanics with intelligent control systems — an innovation that reshaped how manufacturers approached this kind of packaging.
ServoTorque & ServoCam: Full Control at Every Station
Mengibar’s latest capping machines are designed to give manufacturers full control over the capping process, thanks to two technologies:
- ServoTorque: Dynamic torque control using individual servomotors (no manual calibration needed).
- ServoCam: Electronic control of vertical head movement via the HMI, adapting to different closures and dip tube lengths.
This combination allows manufacturers to work effortlessly with a wide range of cap types — from dosing pumps and trigger sprayers, to screw-on or snap-on closures – all while ensuring repeatable torque accuracy and tool-free format changeovers in under 15 minutes.
Whether you’re managing frequent SKU rotations or handling complex cap geometries, your production line remains flexible, efficient, and consistent.
Fast format change and automated cap feeding
Designed under Poka-Yoke principles, every Mengibar capping machine simplifies daily operations:
- Color-coded parts to avoid mistakes.
- Fully recipe-driven adjustments (height, torque, speed).
- No tools needed for format change.
Plus, we engineer our own automated feeding systems, ensuring perfect integration with our fillers and monoblocks. This is essential when working with complex closures and high-speed production lines.
In-line quality control: no compromises
Each machine comes with real-time defect detection and synchronized rejection systems:
- Misaligned, under-torqued or missing caps are automatically removed.
- The 8-pad reject unit is fully synced with filler and capper speed.
- All events are logged for traceability and audit readiness.
This helps our clients ensure compliance with internal QA protocols and external audits — without compromising production efficiency.
