Filling & Capping Machines Overview
We design, supply and support automated filling and capping systems that fit seamlessly into new or existing packaging lines. We help you achieve consistent fill volumes, secure closures and dependable throughput—without the variability, mess and costly rework of manual processes. From hygienic stainless-steel fillers and drip-control nozzles to torque-controlled cappers with automated cap feeding, our solutions are built for accuracy and uptime. You can deploy filling or capping independently, or as a tightly integrated pair.
Service information
We design, supply and support automated filling and capping systems that fit seamlessly into new or existing packaging lines. We help you achieve consistent fill volumes, secure closures and dependable throughput—without the variability, mess and costly rework of manual processes.
From hygienic stainless-steel fillers and drip-control nozzles to torque-controlled cappers with automated cap feeding, our solutions are built for accuracy and uptime. You can deploy filling or capping independently, or as a tightly integrated pair.
Filling and capping are the two stations that most directly affect product integrity every time. Inaccurate fills create giveaway, customer complaints and regulatory risk; poor capping causes leaks, contamination and costly recalls.
We engineer solutions that deliver repeatable performance shift after shift: precise dosing, controlled torque and smooth line synchronisation. Because we design around your product, container and throughput targets, you get the reliability of a standard machine with the fit of a bespoke system.
Why Automate Filling with Kelgray?
Built for dependable uptime :
Robust components, controls and proven cap handling keep your line moving. We design for repeatability, so you get accurate fills and secure closures, shift after shift.
Protect product quality :
Precise volumetric or weight-based dosing reduces under-fills and giveaway, while torque-controlled capping prevents leaks. Cleaner changeovers and hygienic options help you maintain standards consistently in regulated environments.
Configured to your operation :
We match filling technology to your product behaviour thin, viscous or powder and select the right capper for your closures. Everything smoothly integrates with conveyors, sensors and PLCs
End-to-end support, backed by 50+ years
From specification, installation, training, spares and planned maintenance, we keep output consistent long-term. Accurate filling and correct capping significantly reduce spills, rejects and rework
Other Options within Automated Labelling:
For a complete packaging line, our Capping and Conveyors solutions perfectly complement filling, ensuring containers are swiftly sealed and transported after being filled.

Our Frequently Asked Questions
Here are all of the answers to your most common questions around Filling & Capping :
Yes. We deliver filling and capping as individual services, or as a fully integrated solution. If you only need to upgrade one station, we will specify equipment that matches your containers, closures and target speeds, and still integrates with the rest of your line. If you need both, we design the two stations to work as a coordinated pair, helping you reduce stoppages, rework and handling. Either way, we manage installation, commissioning and operator training, then support you long-term.
We match the filling method to your product. For free-flowing liquids we can use gravity or pressure filling; for viscous creams, gels or sauces we typically specify piston or pump filling; and for powders or granulates we can use auger or weigh-fill systems. We also consider foaming behaviour, particulates, temperature and required accuracy. Where throughput matters, we can configure multi-head filling so several containers are filled in parallel, without sacrificing repeatability.
Our capping systems apply closures with controlled, repeatable torque to achieve a secure seal without over-tightening or damage. Depending on your closure style and speed requirements, we can implement inline or rotary solutions using chuck, spindle/belt, or snap/press technology. We can also incorporate automated cap feeding to orient and deliver caps reliably. The goal is simple: every container sealed right, every time, with fewer rejects and less downtime.
Yes. Integration is built into our approach. We align mechanical interfaces such as conveyor height, guides and indexing, and we also coordinate signals and controls so each station runs in sync. If your line includes equipment from other suppliers, we will design the interfaces to suit and validate performance during commissioning. If you are combining filling and capping with labelling and barcode verification, we ensure the overall line sequence is stable, reliable and easy to operate.
Where hygiene is critical, we can specify stainless-steel builds with food-grade contact parts and design features that support safe cleaning. Options such as Clean-in-Place can reduce manual intervention and keep batch-to-batch turnaround consistent. For changeovers, we favour quick adjustments and modular change parts so you can switch container sizes, cap formats or fill volumes with minimal downtime. We will also train your team on the correct cleaning and changeover routines to protect quality and maintain reliable performance.
We stay involved beyond delivery. We provide operator and maintenance training, troubleshooting support, and access to spare parts for wear components so you can minimise downtime. We can also offer planned maintenance visits to keep dosing accuracy and torque settings within specification. If your requirements change—new containers, different caps, higher output—we can reconfigure or upgrade your system rather than forcing a full replacement. Our focus is keeping your line reliable and your product quality consistent.
Reliability is as much about the project as it is about the machine. We start with a clear specification and line survey, then design around your operational constraints and changeover needs. Before installation we confirm interfaces, controls and safety requirements, and we schedule commissioning to minimise disruption. After go-live, we document settings and provide training so performance remains consistent. Where appropriate, we can align our work with your quality and safety systems, supporting a controlled, auditable deployment.
