Product Essence: Precision-Sealed Integrity at Industrial Speed

Shanghai Guangzhi Automation’s Fully Automatic Capper redefines container sealing – delivering ±0.5% torque accuracy for screw caps, snap-ons, ROPP seals, and press-fit lids at 3000 units/minute. Featuring AI vision-guided alignment, self-adaptive torque compensation, and GMP/ATEX-ready construction, it achieves zero cross-threading while reducing giveaway by 30% across pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.
