HOW IT WORKS
Fitment Inserting Machines are available in three configurations. These are: inline Fitment Inserters, rotary indexing Fitment Inserters, and rotary Fitment Inserters (continuous motion). These Fitment Inserters are designed to use down pressure in order to insert a fitment into the neck finish of a container. Depending on the type of system, down pressure belts or multiple heads in the case of both rotary systems are used to place and insert the fitment. Many times fitments are placed, and a standard cap is torqued onto external threads (pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, distilled spirits, other flow restrictions).
COMMERCIAL APPLICATION
Fitment Inserters are available using various configurations dependent upon speed requirements as well as fitment/container configurations. Fitment Inserting Machines are commonly used in the food, dairy, distilled spirits and cosmetic industries.

Why it is Used with Capping Machinery
Bulk Cap Elevator
Bulk Cap Elevators are used to automatically maintain the amount of caps in a cap sorter allowing for optimal sorter operation while eliminating the need for operators to load caps and maintain reasonable quantities of caps.
Usually, the operation of the elevator is integrated to the capper using a variety of cap level sensors.
Cap Blower
Cap Blowers use filtered air to blow caps to a cap sorter utilizing tubing that guides the caps to the cap sorter.
Cap Blowers can be advantageous because they can feed caps at a high rate, and can be placed further away from the sorter itself.
