Automatic Single Head Lug Capping Machine Manufacturer And Supplier In Ghana

Reliable Automatic Lug Capping Solution for Ghana’s Food Processing Sector

The Automatic Single Head Lug Capping Machine Model TGLC-50 from Technogen Enterprise is purpose-built to meet the demanding requirements of food and dairy processors in Ghana. Designed for secure and consistent lug cap application, this machine is widely used for sealing glass jars and bottles used in milk products, pickles, sauces, vinegar, jams, honey, and other preserved foods.

As food processing and agro-based manufacturing continue to expand in industrial regions such as Accra, Tema, Kumasi, and Cape Coast, the need for hygienic, torque-controlled, and production-friendly capping equipment has become essential. This automatic lug capping machine delivers dependable performance while adhering to international food-grade manufacturing standards.

Engineered for Uniform Torque and Secure Lug Sealing

The defining strength of this machine lies in its specially designed pneumatic–mechanical magnetic hysteresis clutch-based lug capping head. This advanced system ensures uniform torque application across every container, preventing common issues such as over-tightening, under-tightening, or cap deformation.

The shut pick-up lug capping mechanism allows precise placement of the lug cap onto the bottle before tightening, ensuring consistent sealing even at higher operating speeds. With an output capacity of 30 to 40 bottles per minute, the machine is ideally suited for small to medium-scale food and dairy production units across Ghana.

Integrated Cap Feeding for Smooth and Continuous Operation

The Automatic Single Head Lug Capping Machine is equipped with efficient cap feeding systems to ensure uninterrupted operation. Lug caps are stored and delivered through a cap feeder elevator or cap feeder vibrator, depending on production requirements and cap size.

This automated cap handling reduces manual intervention, improves line efficiency, and ensures consistent cap orientation before placement. The automatic orientator on/off system further enhances operational control during startup, shutdown, or changeover conditions.

Hygienic Construction with Food-Grade Materials

Manufactured with a compact and robust design, the machine features all bottle and lug cap contact parts fabricated from fine-grade stainless steel. This construction ensures hygiene, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning, which are critical for food and dairy applications.

A single motor synchronizes the conveyor, star wheel system, and capping turret, delivering smooth and coordinated movement throughout the capping cycle. The adjustable conveyor height allows easy integration with existing filling and labeling equipment commonly used in Ghanaian food processing plants.

Quick Changeover and Operator-Friendly Design

Fast format changeover is a key advantage of this lug capping machine. Adjustments between different bottle sizes can be performed quickly, minimizing downtime and improving overall productivity. This is particularly beneficial for food manufacturers handling multiple jar sizes or seasonal product variations.

The compact footprint of the machine allows installation in facilities with limited floor space while maintaining easy access for operation and routine maintenance.

Safety-Driven Interlock Systems

Safety is embedded into the machine’s design through multiple interlock mechanisms. The No Bottle – No Cap system ensures that lug caps are applied only when a bottle is present, eliminating cap wastage and misfeeds.

Additional safety features such as star wheel safety clutches and emergency stop functionality protect both operators and equipment. These systems automatically stop the machine in the event of bottle falls, jams, or abnormal operating conditions.
