Inverted or upside-down caps
Reject features and track design can separate incorrectly orientated caps before they reach the capper.

Cap sorting and orientation systems for capping lines
Improve capping reliability by feeding caps and closures to the machine in the correct orientation.
Cap sorting and closure orientation before capping
Cap sorting is the process of taking bulk caps and delivering them to the capper in the correct orientation. This may include removing inverted caps, controlling cap pitch, feeding a chute, supporting a cap pick point or delivering closures to a cap placement head.
For packaging lines, poor cap orientation creates downtime quickly. Misfed caps can stop the capper, damage closures, create rejects and slow the operator. A correctly specified cap feeder helps keep the capping stage supplied with a controlled stream of usable caps.

Caps bridging in the bowl
Bulk loading, bowl profile and vibration control affect whether caps separate cleanly.
Feed rate not matching the capper
The feeder should keep up with the line without flooding the track or starving the capping head.
Multiple cap sizes
Changeover requirements need to be known early so tooling and adjustment points can be planned.
