\"LinersLiners (also called chuck inserts<\/a>) are typically made of urethane or rubber. They are inserted into a bottle capping chuck and the chuck<\/a> is attached to a chuck capping machine such as our SA Benchtop Capping Machine<\/a> or PS Capping Machine.<\/a><\/p>\n

The liner grips the cap during the capping process. The grip generated by the liner is what allows the capping machine to tighten a cap onto a bottle.<\/p>\n

Liners will last for a very long time but they do eventually wear out. So when you purchase a capping machine you should also purchase spare liners, but how many should you purchase? How long do liners last?<\/p>\n

There is no simple answer to this question. We have customers that have capped over one million bottles with a single liner while other customers consume liners at a faster rate.<\/p>\n

As a general rule of thumb, you should be able to tighten at least thousands of caps with a single liner and more than likely tens of thousands of caps with a single liner. For many of our customers that use their bottle capping machine daily, a dozen chuck inserts will last six months to a year.<\/p>\n
