Questions about trigger sprays

Start with the symptom rather than guessing the machine. Each answer gives likely causes, checks, brief information and relevant solution websites.

Production process relevant to why is application torque inconsistent with trigger sprays?Capping and closures

Why is application torque inconsistent with trigger sprays?

Practical guidance for trigger sprays: find why weights, levels, positions, torque or finished packs vary during a run.

Production process relevant to what information is needed to specify a capper for trigger sprays?Capping and closures

What information is needed to specify a capper for trigger sprays?

Practical guidance for trigger sprays: capture samples, dimensions, output, acceptance tests and site constraints before buying.

Read the answer →

What normally controls the result?

Closure performance depends on cap and neck compatibility, presentation, seating, container support and controlled application force or torque.

  • Cap and neck dimensions
  • Liner and sealing surface
  • Cap orientation and seating
  • Application force or torque
  • Container support through the capping head

Information that makes a recommendation more accurate

  • Loose closures from normal batches
  • Container and neck drawings
  • Closure drawing and liner details
  • Target application or removal result
  • Required output
  • Orientation and feeding requirement
