All-stainless construction, extra-capacity hopper elevator, and a centrifugal disc engineered for dual-format cap feeding — built for production lines that simply cannot afford to slow down.
The High-Speed Cap Feeder Your Line Has Been Waiting For
Feeding bigger diameter caps (diameter 80 mm & 90 mm)is already a challenge and getting a speed of 200 + in a vibratory bowl feeder is next to impossible. Here comes in Elscint’s Rotary / Centrifugal feeder.
When your filling or capping line demands sustained throughput without compromise, the Elscint Centrifugal Cap Feeder delivers — consistently, reliably, and with the flexibility to handle two different cap profiles on a single platform.
Designed and built entirely in stainless steel, this rotary centrifugal feeder is the result of decades of automation engineering applied to one of the most demanding challenges in packaging: reliable, gentle, high-speed cap orientation and delivery. Whether you’re running flat disc caps, sports caps, flip-tops, or screw closures, the Elscint centrifugal bowl can be configured to sort and deliver at speeds exceeding 200 parts per minute — all from a single system.
The machine shown features a full-height inclined elevator hopper feeder alongside the centrifugal bowl, giving your line an oversized bulk buffer. That means less frequent manual loading, reduced operator intervention, and uninterrupted flow even through extended production runs.
Built for the Demands of Modern Packaging Lines
Every component of this system has been engineered with one priority in mind: reliable, sustained high-speed output. Here’s what sets it apart from conventional bowl feeders.
⚡
200+ Parts Per Minute
The centrifugal disc’s rotational speed and precision tooling geometry combine to deliver consistent sorting and output rates exceeding 200 caps per minute, cycle after cycle.
🔄
Dual Cap Format Capability
Configurable tooling and adjustable guide tracks allow this feeder to handle two different cap types — ideal for multi-SKU lines or facilities that need production flexibility without duplicate equipment investment.
🏗️
Extra-Capacity Elevator Hopper
The large-format inclined belt elevator feeds the centrifugal bowl continuously from a high-volume bulk hopper, dramatically reducing the frequency of manual cap loading and supporting longer unattended production runs.
🔩
Full Stainless Steel Construction
Every structural element — bowl, disc, hopper, elevator frame, and support legs — is fabricated from polished or brushed stainless steel for GMP compliance, easy washdown, and long service life.
🎯
Gentle Part Handling
The centrifugal working principle moves caps by centrifugal force rather than vibration, resulting in reduced part wear, lower noise levels, and improved orientation accuracy versus traditional vibratory bowls.
⚙️
Compact Footprint, Heavy Output
Despite the high-volume hopper and elevator assembly, the overall machine footprint is optimized for integration into existing packaging lines without major floor plan reconfiguration.
How It Works
Centrifugal Feeding Technology Explained
Unlike traditional vibratory bowl feeders — which rely on fine-tuned oscillation to walk parts along a spiral track — centrifugal feeders use a rotating disc to spread parts outward by centrifugal force onto a stationary sorting ring. This fundamental difference delivers several operational advantages at high speed.
Stage 01
Bulk Loading via Elevator
Caps are loaded in bulk into the base hopper of the elevator conveyor. The inclined belt lifts caps continuously and deposits them into the centrifugal bowl, maintaining a consistent fill level automatically.
Stage 02
Centrifugal Disc Spreading
The rotating disc at the bowl’s center distributes caps radially outward. The disc speed is precisely controlled to match the required output rate while keeping caps from stacking or tangling.
Stage 03
Orientation & Sorting
As caps reach the outer ring, precision-tooled guides orient each cap into the correct position. Incorrectly oriented caps are returned to the disc for re-cycling.
Stage 04
Discharge to Line
Correctly oriented caps exit through the discharge track in a singulated, oriented stream, feeding directly to your conveyor or we can provide you with a conveyor for the same.

Why Elscint
Engineering You Can Trust at Speed
Elscint has been designing and manufacturing parts handling automation for over 43 years, with installations across pharmaceutical, food & beverage, personal care, and industrial sectors worldwide.
Every Elscint feeder is built to customer specification — not configured from a generic catalogue. When you specify a dual-cap centrifugal feeder with extra-capacity hopper, the tooling, disc geometry, guide profiles, and discharge track are all engineered specifically to your cap dimensions and line speed requirements. That means no guesswork, no test-and-iterate at commissioning time, and no hidden capability gaps discovered after installation.
The result is a system that runs at rated speed from day one, with simple operator controls, easy-access tooling for cap format changeovers, and a stainless steel build that stands up to years of demanding production without degrading in performance or appearance.
If your capping line needs sustained throughput at 200+ parts per minute — and the flexibility to handle two cap formats without a second machine — this is the system. Contact the Elscint team today for a detailed specification sheet, application review, and quotation.
