Model LC20-LCES
Get a Quote
The Lazar Automatic In-Line Capper Model LC20 is a self contained, low cost capping system designed to handle various cap sizes, sort and tighten the caps on containers to a pre-determined torque. It is also suitable to torque “hand placed” caps, spray pumps, finger pumps, and trigger sprayers.
Adjustment: The LC20 “No Tool” design allows the operator to make proper gripping and height adjustments quickly and accurately without the use of tools. Fast and simple machine adjustments are made using crank handles, knobs, and variable motor speed controls.
Speed: The LC20 is capable of applying up to 90 caps per minute (cpm) of sizes ranging from 10mm to 38mm. Speed is ultimately determined by the container and cap size. Container size can be up to 1.5 gallons. While most containers require only one set of gripper belts, the installation of an additional second set of belts is optional.
Function: The LC20 is equipped with a 5-1/2 cubic feet stainless steel hopper for easy floor loading of the caps. The caps are picked and oriented, and transferred to a Stainless Steel cap chute. At the end of the chute, a specially designed Cap Chute-End holds the caps ready to be placed onto the container. A set of (FDA approved) bottle gripper belts firmly holds the container and conveys it to the Cap Chute-End. The container picks up the cap and transfers it to a unique “Cap Stabilizer”. This “Anti-Cock” device insures proper cap placement of 400 series (shallow threaded) caps. The bottle and cap then moves to a second set of torque wheels that apply the required torque. These wheels are equipped with a heavy duty clutch to prevent over-torquing.
Reliability: The LC20 is a heavy duty, time-tested design manufactured in the U.S.A. to last many years with trouble-free use and delivers a high degree of cap torque application and accuracy.
Lazar Cap Elevator Sorter
The LC20 comes standard with a 6” Cap Elevator Sorter that ranges from 50 to 90 caps per minute. The LCES delivers properly oriented caps via a discharge chute on demand. The caps are elevated and oriented on a special, custom designed belt from the floor level bulk cap hopper. The LCES has an all stainless steel construction, NEMA 4 control panel, fiber optic sensors for feed control, and easy "No Tool" adjustable polycarbonate plastic cap guards, standard on the Model LCES.
Quick Adjust Bottle Gripping
The LC20 bottle gripping system is designed for quick change applications thus making this equipment a favorite of line operators. The “No Tool” bottle gripping system is vertically and horizontally adjusted. This style of bottle gripping is designed
for a wide range of container styles without additional change parts.
The LC20 uses a standard 1” belt style bottle gripping. Adjustments are from 0” to 6”, vertically, and accommodates .5” to 7.5” wide containers. For certain applications, double belts or use of 2” wide belts are optional. For special applications, shaped profile belts are also available. The LC20 uses a 1” diameter heavy duty gripper drive system.
Safety Guards & Tightening Stations
The LC20 is designed with the maintenance mechanics and line operators in mind. The engineering implements time-tested design with new technological improvements. The “Nothing Hidden” concept employs clear polycarbonate guards allowing a clear view of the machine dynamics. The ability to observe the machine promotes prevention and results in the reduction of total down-time.
Adjustable heavy duty dry friction clutches assure an accurate and consistent cap torque application. The clever “Swing-Away” cap tightening stations are designed to give for more delicate applications or stiffen for higher torque requirements. The design also allows quick removal of cap tightening stations for easy maintenance.

Elevator and Sensor
Caps roll off elevator into the chute. If sensor detects caps at the top of the chute it will turn elevator off to avoid jamming.
Chute End and Quill Assembly
Quill and Cap Application
Caps are transfered from the Chute end to the container. The First station applys the cap on the container. The second station torques the cap.
Container Exit and Final Result
The container continues along the conveyor with the cap tightly secured.
Elevator Bin
Easy access ground level bin to store caps.
Sorter Elevator and Chute
Caps are selected with the elevator and brought up to the chute.
Castors
Strong "C" Frame with castors for easy movement and brakes to secure placement.
