Strength Beyond the Cap: CSI’s Comprehensive After Sales Support for Capping Equipment

In today’s high-speed production environments, reliable capping performance is essential to maintaining efficiency, product integrity, and customer satisfaction. Closure Systems International (CSI) supports that commitment well beyond the initial equipment installation. With a proven, regionally focused After Sales Support program, CSI helps customers maximize uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and sustain world-class line efficiency throughout the life of their capping systems.

Technical Service: Driving Peak Performance

CSI’s technical service team is dedicated to ensuring every capper operates at peak efficiency. Through ongoing audits, setup optimization, and capability studies, CSI technicians identify opportunities to increase throughput and minimize downtime. Each service engagement is guided by real-world production insights — helping plants run more consistently and with fewer unplanned interruptions.

Spare Parts: Fast, Reliable, and Competitive

CSI’s spare parts program is built around speed and dependability. Customers benefit from menu-based options that include rapid quotation response, dedicated support resources, and same-day service for urgent requests. With warehouses strategically located in the U.S., Mexico, and Costa Rica, CSI maintains more than 95% availability for high-turnover parts — ensuring production never waits on a missing component. Competitive pricing and responsive logistics make it easier for plants to maintain optimal inventory levels without compromising quality or delivery.

Expert Field Service: Regional Support When It Matters

CSI’s field service network brings expertise directly to the production floor. With nine Field Service Representatives and six Systems Engineers positioned across the United States, Mexico, and Central America, customers gain quick access to professionals skilled in all aspects of capping equipment support — from audits and rebuilds to full capability assessments. This regional approach ensures prompt service, faster turnaround, and trusted relationships built on consistent performance.

Conversions: Adapting with Ease

As packaging lines evolve, CSI helps operations adapt efficiently. Conversion components such as FlexChucks™, guides, starwheels, anti-rotation knives, and cams are engineered for seamless integration into existing systems. Whether introducing new packaging formats or improving existing ones, CSI’s conversion expertise keeps customers positioned for future growth without costly disruptions.

Preventive Maintenance: Planned Efficiency

CSI’s Preventive Maintenance Select program provides predictable, proactive support that complements existing plant maintenance schedules. Through four scheduled services per year and preferential pricing on parts, customers gain the advantage of planned expense management and continuous equipment optimization. This approach not only reduces unexpected downtime but also extends the life and reliability of every machine.

Training: Building In-House Expertise

To keep teams sharp and operations efficient, CSI offers customized training programs conducted either at customer facilities or at the CSI Technology Center. Courses cover plastic training, maintenance procedures, and operational best practices — all designed to empower staff with the knowledge and confidence to maintain high performance standards.

The CSI Advantage

From installation to ongoing optimization, CSI’s After Sales Support represents more than service — it’s a partnership built on performance, precision, and trust. With technical expertise, regional responsiveness, and proactive maintenance programs, CSI ensures every capper continues to deliver value long after it leaves the factory floor.
