At CSI, we’ve built our reputation on more than caps and closures. We engineer the capping machines that apply them. Bottlers, co-packers, and brand owners rely on CSI capping equipment — high-speed rotary cappers and freestanding capping machines — to deliver consistent application torque, superior seal integrity, and industry-leading throughput, shift after shift, backed by decades of application expertise.

But no two production lines are alike and choosing the right capping machine starts with your product, your closure types, and your filling process. A spirits bottler applying ROPP closures has very different needs than a dairy processor running extended shelf-life products, and an aseptic filling operation demands a level of hygienic design that a household chemicals line simply doesn’t require. That’s why CSI offers a full family of cappers — each one purpose-built for the market segment it serves, and all backed by CSI’s comprehensive after-sales support, spare parts programs, and technical service network.

Here’s a closer look at the CSI Family of Cappers and where each machine fits.
