Vibratory Cap Feeder
Custom track + vibratory bowl orients bulk caps and feeds a chute so operators refill the bowl instead of placing every cap by hand.

Custom catalog configuration
Vibratory Cap Feeder with Pneumatic Press Capping
LEKA Pack Line (lekapackline.com) supplies a custom vibratory cap feeder (also called a cap feeding machine / cap feeder machine) paired with pneumatic press capping. Catalog reference ranges include Ø30–60 mm caps and 2000–3000 BPH (empty-machine / catalog figures pending confirmation). The station orients caps in a vibratory bowl, feeds the track, then press-fits or snaps closures onto bottles on a conveyor. It is a bowl + press layout for press-fit / snap-on closing — not a four-wheel screw-capper replacement.

Interest
Cap feeding machine that feeds a pneumatic press capping station
Built for plants that need a cap feeder machine for automatic bottle-cap orientation and press-on closing after filling — cosmetics, daily chemical, food and similar bottles within the catalog size window. For screw-torque four-wheel work, see LEKA Pack Line CP series options from the capping hub.
Pneumatic Press Capping
Air-driven press head applies downward force for press-fit / snap-on style closing after the cap is presented on the bottle.
HMI + PLC controls
7-inch touchscreen HMI and PLC for line settings. Exact controller brands are confirmed with sales for each configuration.
Custom Bottle Window
Catalog envelope: cap Ø 30–60 mm, bottle height 50–300 mm, width 35–120 mm. Final track and tooling follow your samples.
Cap Types in Scope
Anti-theft, aluminum, and other press-fit / snap-on closures after sample review — not screw-torque spindle or four-wheel screw capping.
Line Integration
Conveyor station intended after filling and before labeling/packing. Compare separate vs monoblock layouts in our filling–capping guide.

*Speed footnote: 2000–3000 BPH is an empty-machine / catalog reference. Actual bottles per hour depend on cap geometry, orientation difficulty, bottle stability, air supply and upstream filling rate. No FDA/CE certification claims are made on this page.
Press-on / snap-style caps
When the closure needs oriented feeding and controlled downward press rather than multi-wheel screw torque.
After filling, before labeling
Typical station on a bottle packaging line or complete liquid filling line.
Custom one–two cap families
Bowl tooling is usually dedicated or limited-range; send production caps for orientation trials.
Press capping vs screw / four-wheel capping
Quick boundary check before you enquire — this page is press/snap only.
| Topic | This page — pneumatic press | Four-wheel / screw (CP series) |
|---|---|---|
| How the cap is applied | Downward press / snap-on after oriented feed | Rotational torque with wheels or chuck |
| Typical closures | Press-fit, snap-on, anti-theft, aluminum (after sample check) | Screw / threaded caps needing torque |
| Cap handling | Vibratory bowl orientation + track | Often elevator / sorter + screw head |
| Not a substitute for | Four-wheel screw-torque capping | Press-only snap-on closing |

Action
Request a line fit check or project quote
Send cap photos, bottle drawings, target BPH and whether you need press-on or screw-torque closing. LEKA Pack Line will confirm if this vibratory bowl + pneumatic press layout fits — or divert you to a CP screw capper.
What to send
- Cap samples or clear photos (diameter, height, liner)
- Bottle height / width / neck photos
- Target output and shift pattern
- Upstream filler and downstream labeler notes
- Local voltage / air supply
FAQ
Quick answers before you enquire
What is a vibratory cap feeder?
A vibratory cap feeder (also called a cap feeding machine or vibratory bowl cap sorter) uses a vibrating bowl and track to orient bulk bottle caps and feed them to a capping station. On this LEKA Pack Line page it is paired with pneumatic press capping for press-fit / snap-on closing — not four-wheel screw-torque capping.
Is this the same as a LEKA-CP four-wheel screw capper?
No. CP-A/B/C families focus on screw / claw torque capping. This page is a vibratory cap feeder with pneumatic press capping (sometimes called a vibratory bowl cap sorter). If you need screw torque, start at the capping machine hub or LEKA-CP-A.
What does “2000–3000 BPH” mean here?
It is a catalog / empty-machine reference. Real output depends on cap orientation difficulty, bottle stability, air supply and the filler ahead of the station.
Vibratory bowl vs cap elevator — which is this?
This configuration uses a vibratory bowl feeder for orientation. Cap elevators are a different feed style — see the LEKA CE cap elevator. Do not treat this page as an elevator PDP.
Can one bowl run many cap SKUs?
Usually one bowl is tooled for one closure or a narrow related range. Changeovers and multi-SKU projects need sample review.
Who manufactures this machine?
LEKA Pack Line catalogs and sells the configuration for customer lines. The mechanical package is a custom / OEM catalog machine — the page does not claim LEKA Pack Line in-house R&D or manufacture of this series.
