Industries We Serve
Every industry fills liquid, but no two fill it the same way. A cosmetic serum, a chemical concentrate and a pharmaceutical oral liquid may share the same Cap Coder platform, yet each brings its own rules, closures, containers, hygiene demands and output targets.
That is why our engineers start with your product, not a catalogue. Drawing on almost fifty years of designing and building machinery in Oxfordshire, we tailor each machine to the standards and pace of your sector, so it is ready for your line from day one. Choose your industry below to find out more.

How We Match a Machine to Your Industry
Every sector has its own priorities, but the way we arrive at the right machine is the same. Four questions shape every specification we write.
-
Your product
Viscosity, foaming, particulates, temperature and chemical makeup decide the filling principle, the nozzle design and the contact materials.
-
Your container and closure
Bottle, vial or jar; screw, snap, pump, trigger, dropper or child-resistant cap. We set torque, handling and change parts around the exact combination you run.
-
Your environment and standards
Cleanroom grade, GMP documentation, hazardous area classification and sector regulations are built into the design brief, not added at the end.
-
Your output, now and next
We size for today’s volumes and plan the route to tomorrow’s, so a semi-automatic start can grow into a fully automatic line without starting again.
Machines for Every Stage of Production
The same machines serve many industries. What sets them apart for your sector is how they are configured. Here is where most customers start.
Benchtop and small batch
For start-ups, labs, R&D and pilot runs that need precision without a large footprint.
- Delta FillPrecise, repeatable benchtop liquid dispensing
- CC1440Compact, flexible benchtop capper
- CC1100High-performance benchtop capping
- Micro MonoModular filling and capping in one compact unit
Semi-automatic and growing
For manufacturers stepping up output while keeping flexibility across products and formats.
- CC570 FillerAdaptable multi-head inline filling
- CC570 Semi Auto CapperConsistent torque with fast, tool-free changeovers
- CC560 FillerMultiple containers and viscosities, quick changeover
- CC1770 Semi AutoLarge-format capping for bigger containers
Fully automatic production
For high-volume lines that need consistency shift after shift, with integration up and downstream.
- Mini MonoFull automation in a cleanroom-friendly footprint
- CC570 AutoInline capping that scales with demand
- CC560 AutoStarwheel capping for flexible production
- CC1160 MonoblocComplete custom line built around your process
Capabilities That Travel Across Every Sector
Precision torque control
Our MK VI torque head applies repeatable torque cap after cap, with an optional UKAS-traceable torque transducer for verified, recorded results.
Fast changeovers
Quick-release tooling and stored recipes keep format changes short. On the CC570 inline capper, changeover takes around three minutes.
Hazardous area builds
Machines can be supplied for Zone 1 or Zone 2 ATEX environments, with DSEAR documentation, for flammable products and solvents.
Hygienic contact parts
Product contact parts in 316L stainless steel or suitable polymers, chosen for cleanability and compatibility with your formulation.
Documentation and validation
CE and UKCA marking, a full Declaration of Conformity, and FAT and SAT support with documentation ready for regulated quality systems.
UK engineering and support
Designed, built and supported in Oxfordshire, with spares, servicing and operator training from the team who built your machine.

Which industries does Cap Coder supply filling and capping machines to?
We supply manufacturers across pharmaceutical, life and bio science, contract packing, health and beauty, aromatherapy and essential oils, chemical, nutraceutical, healthcare and medical devices, e-liquid and CBD, agriculture and horticulture, and general manufacturing. If your product is liquid and needs filling and capping, we can help.
Can one machine handle products from different industries?
Yes. Many of our machines run several products, containers and closures with change parts and stored recipes. This is especially valuable for contract packers and manufacturers with broad product ranges. We confirm the full range of formats you need at the specification stage so the right tooling is supplied from the outset.
Do you build machines for flammable products?
Yes. Machines can be supplied for Zone 1 or Zone 2 ATEX hazardous environments, with DSEAR documentation, making them suitable for essential oils, solvent-based products and other flammable liquids.
Can you cap child-resistant and tamper-evident closures?
Yes. Our capping heads are set up for the specific closure you use, including child-resistant, tamper-evident, dropper, pump and trigger closures, with torque set and proven on your actual cap and container combination.
Do you work with start-ups and small businesses?
Absolutely. Benchtop machines such as the Delta Fill, CC1440 and Micro Mono are designed for small batch work, and our lines are specified so you can move from semi-automatic to fully automatic production as you grow.
Can you provide documentation for regulated industries?
Every machine is CE and UKCA marked with a full Declaration of Conformity. For regulated sectors we support URS, FAT and SAT, and provide documentation packs structured to feed into your IQ/OQ/PQ protocols. See our pharmaceutical page for more detail.
Do you supply customers outside the UK?
Yes. We design and build in Oxfordshire and supply manufacturers in the UK and internationally, with support for installation, training, spares and servicing.
My industry is not listed. Can you still help?
Very likely. The industries above are where we see the most enquiries, not the limit of what we do. Share your product, container and closure details and our engineers will recommend the best approach.
