High-Capacity Bottle Cap Injection Molding Machine: Maximum Output for Large-Scale Closure Production


APEX Machinery proudly presents our High-Capacity Bottle Cap Injection Molding Machine—a precision-engineered system designed specifically for the high-volume production of plastic bottle caps and closures. As global demand for bottled beverages, personal care products, and pharmaceutical packaging continues to rise, manufacturers require cap production solutions that deliver exceptional output without compromising quality. Our high-capacity system addresses these demands with advanced multi-cavity technology, ultra-fast cycle times, and energy-efficient operation.

Unmatched Productivity for High-Volume Cap Production

The number of cavities in a cap mold directly determines production output, and higher cavitation reduces the cost per part while positioning your product for growth . Our high-capacity bottle cap injection molding machine features:

  • Multi-cavity configurations ranging from 48 to 128 cavities depending on cap size and design complexity, enabling maximum production efficiency

  • Ultra-fast cycle times as low as 2 to 4 seconds for standard cap configurations, ensuring rapid throughput

  • Production speeds capable of exceeding 1.5 million caps per day in continuous 24/7 operation

  • High-performance plasticizing units with optimized screw designs specifically configured for cap materials including HDPE, PP, and LDPE

The anticipated production volume determines the optimal cavity configuration—while adding additional cavities increases initial investment, in the long term it significantly decreases the price per part . Our high-capacity systems are engineered for manufacturers who require sustained, large-scale production output.

Advanced Multi-Cavity Mold Technology

At the heart of our high-capacity system lies precision multi-cavity mold technology:

  • High-precision mold construction with components manufactured to micron-level tolerances, ensuring consistent cap quality across all cavities

  • Advanced hot runner systems with individually controlled valve gates ensuring balanced filling across all cavities, preventing common defects such as short shots or flow marks

  • Optimized cooling circuit design with spiral channels ensuring rapid and uniform heat extraction, enabling faster cycle times

  • Quick changeover capabilities allowing efficient transitions between different cap sizes and designs

High-Speed Servo-Driven Injection System

Our high-capacity cap machine incorporates advanced servo-driven injection technology for maximum performance:

  • All-electric or servo-hydraulic drive systems providing precise control over injection speed, pressure, and position

  • Fast injection speeds ensuring complete filling of thin-walled cap designs before material cooling

  • High-precision shot control with repeatability within ±0.1% for consistent part weight across production runs

  • Accumulator-assisted injection for applications requiring high-speed filling of complex cap geometries

Precision Engineering for Consistent Cap Quality

Quality control is paramount in cap production, as caps must provide reliable sealing, tamper evidence, and smooth opening for consumers. APEX's system incorporates precision components that guarantee quality:

  • High-performance plasticizing unit with specially designed screws for HDPE and PP processing, ensuring superior melt quality and homogeneity

  • Advanced temperature control maintaining ±1°C accuracy throughout the hot runner system to prevent material degradation

  • Robust clamping unit with sufficient tonnage to maintain mold closure under high injection pressures

  • Precision ejection mechanisms that carefully release caps without deformation or damage

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Features

In alignment with global sustainability trends, our high-capacity cap machine incorporates features that significantly reduce energy consumption:

  • All-electric servo drive technology achieving energy savings of up to 50-70% compared to conventional hydraulic machines

  • Kinetic energy recovery systems that capture and reuse energy during deceleration phases

  • Zero power consumption during cooling periods as servo motors can come to a complete stop

  • Reduced specific energy consumption as energy costs are distributed across more caps per cycle, lowering cost per thousand caps produced

  • Compatibility with recycled materials including post-consumer recycled HDPE and PP, supporting circular economy initiatives

Robust Construction for 24/7 Industrial Operation

Built to withstand the rigors of continuous industrial production, our high-capacity cap machine features:

  • Heavy-duty clamping units with clamping forces from 150 to 500 tons depending on configuration, ensuring consistent mold closure under high-speed operation

  • Generous tie-bar spacing accommodating high-cavitation cap molds

  • High-quality global components from renowned manufacturers ensuring long-term reliability

  • Durable construction designed for 24/7 operation in demanding production environments

Integrated Quality Control Systems

Our high-capacity cap machines can be equipped with comprehensive quality monitoring:

  • Inline vision inspection systems integrated into the machine workflow performing multiple quality checks

  • High-speed camera systems inspecting up to 100 caps per second for defects

  • Real-time rejection of defective parts guaranteeing that only quality caps proceed to downstream operations

  • Statistical process control capabilities for continuous quality improvement

Applications Across Industries

Our high-capacity bottle cap injection molding machines produce caps suitable for a diverse range of applications:

  • Carbonated soft drinks: PCO finish caps designed to maintain carbonation and withstand internal pressure

  • Bottled water: Lightweight caps for still and sparkling water bottles
