Overview of Lug Capping Machine Solutions
A Lug Capping Machine is purpose-built to apply metal lug caps onto glass bottles and jars with speed, accuracy, and consistency. Lug caps, also known as twist-off caps, feature intermittent lugs inside the cap skirt that engage with the container threads using a short rotational movement, typically half a turn or less. This closure system is widely used in food and beverage packaging where secure sealing, ease of opening, and tamper evidence are essential.
Across Great Britain, manufacturers in food processing and beverage packaging rely on lug capping technology to achieve reliable sealing while maintaining high production efficiency. As a manufacturer and supplier serving the UK market, Technogen Enterprise delivers robust lug capping solutions suited to modern packaging lines operating in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Coventry, Bristol, Leicester, and Milton Keynes.
