SA™ Benchtop
Capping Machine Reviews

I and staff at Gowan Milling would really like to thank Kinex Cappers for helping to increase our production goals. These cappers have continued to prove themselves campaign after campaign. In fact they are constantly requested by the building managers whenever we have high torque capping. Using the SA benchtop capper on our measuring caps has been really appreciated by our staff. Not only financial numbers show the difference, the face of staff on the bottling lines using the cappers really tells the true story. Just this past Friday I was thanked again for sourcing the SA capper and how much better they are over hand cappers or manually applying caps. Prior to having the SA capper, we were using a hand capper from another company with an in house designed chuck to apply the caps. That rate was not even close to what we achieve now with your SA capper.

What an amazing machine!

Going from tightening caps by hand we came across this ideal compact machine the SA Benchtop Capping Machine and decided to purchase it. What a relief and top quality made machine that is simple and very effective and precise. It can be adjusted to exactly the tightness required. I would recommend this machine to anyone in big or small businesses.

We are a small startup sauce producer and have been capping by hand up until recently. We purchased a Kinex SA capping machine with bottle activated backstop and are very happy with it. It is simple to operate, reliable and fast. Well worth the money. This will help us smash our daily production requirements.

I purchased an SA Bench Top Capping Machine in 2014. The machine itself has worked like a charm for the past seven years. Over that time, I have had two relatively minor issues with it, both of my own fault and each time the team at Kinex were extremely helpful. The first time they were able to quickly and efficiently talk me through the issue I was experiencing remotely. The second time, I had to ship one part back to them to be repaired. It was repaired for a nominal fee, as my machine was no longer under warranty, and returned to me in a very reasonable amount of time. The team at Kinex is helpful, professional and their customer service is second to none. I just recently purchased a second piece of equipment from them and the decision to do so was very easy. As my company continues to expand, I have every intention of continuing our relationship with Kinex because of how wonderful it is to work with them. I genuinely cannot say enough.

We love our Kinex capping machine. This wonderful machine has allowed us to increase production and saved our hands from countless blisters caused by hand tightening caps. Just as important, the customer service is outstanding. The one issue we had was handled quickly and every question has been answered quickly and thoroughly. We highly recommend this company and its products.

We specialize in medium to large run liquid manufacturing with multiple large custom machines. Since our model switched to more larger sized bottles and applications, instead of getting new $100k+ machines, we decided to go with SA Benchtop Capping Machine. One of the smartest decisions ever. These machines run almost as fast as our large custom capping machines with only one operator. With just one call, Kinex Cappers knew exactly what I needed and in less than 1 week we had our new machine up and running & making us money. Amazing machine and outstanding customer service. I never have to look anywhere else for any of my capping needs. Thanks again Kinex!

We here at Scrappy’s Bitters have nothing but great things to say about Kinex Cappers. Their Snap Capper and SA Benchtop Capper have helped us increase our output and efficiency more than we even expected. That coupled with their quick turn around and amazing customer service, we highly recommend them for all your bottle capping needs! Cheers!"

Just finished tweaking the settings on our new SA Capping Machine with bottle gripping base. WOW!

Due to a change in bottle style for our product we required a new capping machine with much more torque and Kinex's SA machine delivers it in droves. Having the option to adjust capping torque, gripper strength and capping chuck timing quickly and easily at the operator level is an amazing step up from the machine we were using before.

The team at Kinex is also wonderfully helpful. From answering any questions, I had quickly and concisely to testing bottles from my inventory to make sure the machine we purchased would be the right fit for the job. Thank You!

We have been using your cap-screwing machine (the SA-2000 benchtop) for over a year and a half, and I can say that we appreciate it very much. It was purchased primarily to alleviate the physical impact of screwing our 70 mm caps manually, and it has met the challenge admirably. It is easy to use and it looks good.

Nous utilisons depuis un an et demi votre machine à visser les couvercles (le modèle d’établi SA-2000), et je peux dire que nous l'apprécions énormément. Je l'avais achetée dans le but de nous soulager du vissage manuel de nos couvercles de 70 mm, et elle atteint très bien son objectif. Elle est facile à utiliser et elle est belle.

We are very pleased with our custom SA Benchtop Capping Machine and look forward to working with Kinex Cappers again. Everybody did a great job, and I am pleased with Samantha’s whole approach. Please thank your team for their efforts in delivering and supporting our needs in every aspect of the project. They made it look easy. It was good doing business with you. Looking forward to buying more equipment from you in the not-too-distant future.

We are a small startup company producing salsa. After three production runs hand twisting lids onto 500 jars each time, I developed Rotator Cuff strain in both shoulders.

After a bit of online research I called Kinex and had a pleasant and very informative talk with your representative. Eight days after placing an order we received our Kinex SA Benchtop Capper. Set up was very easy following your manual. On our first run it took only 20 minutes to have the lids tightened perfectly every time. We have done three runs since and it is working without fail.

I thank you, and my rotator cuffs thank you, for your equipment and your prompt and friendly service.

We are a global diagnostic device manufacturer, and in our San Diego facility, currently operate multiple shifts in order to produce a wide array of products. Our annual production quantities are in the tens of millions of units and continues to grow, so it’s important for us to utilize resources very efficiently. We recently expanded our product offering to include a family of devices with numerous components packaged in bottles of various sizes. Very soon after starting production, two primary issues became clear – Operator fatigue from repetitive motion and Cap Torque consistency. These were both solved immediately by using an SA-2000 Capping Machine on our production Floor. The flexibility and robustness of the design has allowed us to use a single setup for multiple products, and the monitoring results show that our process can now be considered highly capable statistically. We are extremely happy with the overall experience as far as the Product Quality, Ease of Use and Overall Value!

To all at Kinex,

Just wanted to drop a note to let you all know what a joy it is to work with you guys. I couldn’t be more impressed with the sales experience as well as the products that I have purchased. I have purchased a variety of pneumatic capping machines from you including the PumpCap, an SA BenchTop, and handheld PS Capping Machines. The equipment design, build and quality are all first class!

Thanks again to all the Kinex team!

Sunja's Oriental Foods has been in business for over twenty years. I believe that we have dealt with Kinex for over ten of those years and our experiences with Kinex have been outstanding. When we grew enough to upgrade to a capper, Kinex tailored our SA capping machine to our specific needs and instructed us on how we were to use it and to maintain it. Their people are knowledgeable and very helpful and their pricing has always been extremely fair. I would recommend Kinex to anyone as they are very good at what they do!

We at Trusted Health Products rely on our model SA-2000 to be able to cap over five hundred bottles per day. This machine has withstood our stringent demands and never ceases to deliver an assured and flawless cap! We wouldn’t be able to produce the high quality essential oil products without the exceptional operation of this machine. The staff at Kinex is knowledgeable and friendly in assisting us with maintenance and repair. Colin is always so professional and knowledgeable. It is a pleasure working with a company that offers continued support long after the purchase is made. We truly appreciate all that you do and we look forward to a continued working relationship with your company. We would highly recommend Kinex to everyone!!

We love the new SA Capping Machine with Foot Pedal Activated Bottle Gripping Base, it's easy to use, took 30 minutes to setup, and saves our wrists! We've used it every day for 3 months and had no trouble at all.

Kinex was great to work with when choosing and ordering a capper. They helped me understand the full operation of the machine. We had an especially high level of torque and Kinex worked with us to determine how to make the machine work with our needs. The people were great to work with and they make a great product!

Yesterday our capping machine arrived via UPS and I personally unpacked this new addition to our production line. A key responsibility of mine at Jensen Dental is to oversee the staff who pick/pack hundreds of customer orders from our four locations each day. I was most impressed and quite pleased with the care and effort of the professional packaging of our new SA Capper. The neatly labeled accessories in poly bags and instruction manual were all carefully and easily located along with the capper being secured and well protected. We have sourced several pieces of equipment to complete our new jar filling line and Kinex Cappers stands head and shoulders above all others.

Late yesterday and most of the morning we put our new SA Capping machine with Lever Activated Gripping Base through a series of tests to formulate our operator procedures and work instructions. We are very pleased with the performance and ease from unpacking to operational in less than 30 minutes, the team provided the boss a real-time demonstration on the new line of which the SA Capper is part of; you made us look good.

Thanks to everyone at Kinex and kindly share this praise within the company.

We run an assembly and packaging company in California. One of our main accounts is assembling drip irrigation fittings. We were originally assembling these fittings by hand. About 2 years ago, we purchased our first Kinex SA Benchtop Capping Machine. The Kinex Capping Machine instantly doubled our daily production. The Kinex Capper is quick to set-up and allows us to assemble several different size parts without any down time. This has given us a HUGE advantage over our competition. Because of the Kinex Capping Machine’s benefits and reliability, we’ve just purchased another one to add to our collection

We just run the heck out of our SA Capping Machine and we can’t wreck the thing. It keeps right on going. It’s been a real great little machine. We pack 25000-30000 cases per year. You guys are wonderful to work with.

Our research team is based in Northern NSW Australia. We approached Kinex for a novel solution to an issue of ensuring glass ExetainerTM vials had consistent and perfect cap tension. These vials are pre-evacuated in our laboratory in preparation for Greenhouse Gas sample collection. As such the cap tension needs to be just-so to ensure the rubber septum under the cap is not distorted but is tight enough to retain a vacuum. This task had been done by hand but with a weekly turn-over of several thousand vials an OH&S issue soon developed.

Once approached with my enquiry the team at Kinex enthusiastically responded to the challenge, accepting my offer to send them a number of sample vials to trial on their equipment. Within days of receipt of the sample vials, I received a series of video demonstrations along with a detailed recommendation from the team on which equipment they had trialed and what they believed would be most suitable. We were immediately impressed with their commitment and proceeded to place an order for the recommended capping machine & configuration.

Our SA-1000 pneumatically operated Semi-Automatic Bench-top Capping Machine with dual push button activated bottle gripping base was delivered promptly and in perfect condition. It was incredibly easy to install and calibrate and has now performed faultlessly for over 18months, processing several thousand vials per week with zero failure. We have found consumables – namely white rubber chuck-inserts to be reasonably priced and readily available. There have been no further OH&S incidents and our quality control is assured.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the products and services offered by Kinex Cappers to any individual or organization based on my experience.

As a humble owner of a small operation, our goal is to reach out and please all our customers. And by running a smooth operation, the supply would be able to meet the demand or even more. To achieve this feat, machinery would have to been implemented to ease the strain on our employees.

For example, I purchased a no name capper online. The price was cheap for the amazing features it claimed to accomplish. But upon receiving it, problems upon problems began to mount and take its toll on my employees affecting production time. The final straw occurred when the motor finally gave out after a couple months.

After doing some research, I came upon the Kinex Cappers PS Pneumatic Capper. And of course I was skeptical about the amazing testimonials that people have written. I called customer service and spoke with Shannon who answered ALL my questions with the utmost respect. Confidently, I purchased the capper and immediately utilized it in my production.

The capper exceeded the expectations of myself and employees as it performed beyond its specifications. Thank you Kinex for eliminating one more headache in the world of business.

Our SA-2000 Kinex Capper has been a real workhorse. After torquing 100,000 caps a year for the past seven years, I would expect to see some wear. But the machine is still as mechanically sound as the day we bought it.

Our SA Capping Machine arrived today and we were positively surprised by the finished quality ( what a welding post !!! ), it works brilliant, is easy to use and it is just what we need to have in our production. Thank you, it is always nice to work with professionals like you and your team. We do have many visitors from Finnish food industry, and I will tell them about your company and how flexible it is to deal with you.

We bought a Kinex SA-2000 capper one year ago. It works very well. The customer service from Kinex Cappers is the best I have ever encountered. The people I have dealt with really know their machines and the components.

We were looking for an economical bench-top machine for screwing pharmaceutical closures onto bottles and suitable for use in both a laboratory and a clinical manufacturing environment. The Kinex SA-2000 has proven to be the perfect solution. It is easy to use, reliable and robust.

We have been using your SA Tabletop capper for 7 years now and are extremely pleased with its performance and reliability. Aside from following routine maintenance recommendations and liner replacements we have not incurred any downtime in production and the equipment looks and works as it did when we first bought it.

I highly recommend your fabulous "Made in the USA" Kinex equipment! You have in my opinion the best products in the industry.

We have purchased multiple SA-1000 capping machines from Kinex Cappers and have been extremely happy with both the product and the service. The machines have proved reliable and do exactly as they are described. Despite being on the other side of the world the Kinex team has always been approachable, practical, helpful and quick to respond. As we grow, we will be more than happy to purchase more capping machines from Kinex.

I would like to thank you for your support in my purchase of my SA-2010 capping machine. I can honestly say you have been the best company I have ever dealt with from my very first contact I made with you -- absolutely unbelievable the support service advice -- the total package -- could not ask for any more -- well done.

We would like to order another Kinex Capper. The original SA-1000 is working great, used daily and is a much adored piece of machinery. The capper has been a wonderful tool for us, and continues to work wonders each day. We appreciate the opportunity to work with everyone at Kinex. The entire experience, each and every person, and the equipment has been stellar.

We have been using the Kinex SA Capping Machine for almost two months now in a very demanding and time limited working environment where every minute lost because of production disruptions could be the cause of our company losing a big contract with an important customer. During this stressful time, the SA Capping machine’s operational behavior was more than excellent. It proved itself worthy of every single dollar spent in this purchase!!

I highly recommend the Kinex SA Capping Machine model. It is undoubtedly trustworthy and value-adding (which is the most important thing at the end of the day.)
