Automatic Capping Machines: Built in Australia for Australia

When it comes to packaging automation, automatic capping machines are a critical piece of the puzzle. At Process Evolution, we design and build world-class capping systems right here in Australia—tailored specifically to the needs of Australian contract manufacturers. With the ability to handle screw caps, press-on caps, flip-top lids, lotion pumps, and foaming pumps with diptubes, our machines deliver maximum flexibility with minimal fuss.

If you’re tired of importing rigid, slow-to-support machinery, it’s time to look local. Our Australian-made automatic capping machines are engineered for diverse SKUs, fast changeovers, and reliable performance across a wide range of products.

Why Automatic Capping Machines Matter in Modern Manufacturing

The Rising Demand for Flexibility and Speed

Today’s manufacturing landscape is defined by high product variety, faster turnaround expectations, and increasingly shorter product lifecycles. Brands want variety—different caps, bottles, and pack sizes—while maintaining production efficiency. The right automatic capping machine can make or break your line.

Common Capping Challenges Faced by Australian Manufacturers

From delays in spare parts to poor local support, many Australian manufacturers struggle with offshore capping systems that aren’t built for the nuances of the local market. That’s why a solution designed by Australians, for Australian conditions is more important than ever.

Tailored for Australian Contract Manufacturers

At Process Evolution, we understand the unique challenges of contract manufacturing. You’re not just running one product—you’re running dozens, often on the same line.

One Machine, Multiple Cap Types: From Screw Caps to Lotion Pumps

Our automatic capping machines are designed to handle:

•  Screw caps
•  Press-on caps
•  Flip-top caps
•  Lotion pumps with diptubes
•  Foaming pumps with diptubes

This makes them ideal for contract manufacturers who need one machine to do it all—without costly change parts or long retooling times.

Designed for SKU Diversity and Fast Changeovers

With smart recipe management, servo-driven capping heads, and adaptable components, our systems are built for quick and easy changeovers. You can switch between cap types or container sizes in minutes, not hours.

Compact, Reliable and Scalable for Growing Operations

Whether you’re running a single line or scaling up for national distribution, our systems are modular and space-efficient, designed to grow with your production needs.

Locally Engineered, Built and Supported

Built in Australia, for Australian Conditions

All Process Evolution automatic capping machines are designed, manufactured and tested in Melbourne. That means full compliance with local electrical and safety standards, durable construction for local climates, and reduced shipping timeframes.

Support That’s Local, Responsive and Knowledgeable

Forget international time zones and language barriers. Our engineers are just a phone call away, and we offer remote support, on-site servicing, and spare parts right here in Australia.

Why Local Manufacturing Makes a Difference

Local design and support means faster lead times, better communication, and machines built to fit your specific requirements—not generic solutions repurposed from other markets.
