Evidence pack

Cap feeder test evidence pack for quotations and acceptance.

A cap feeder evidence pack records the samples, observations, photos, videos, decisions and limitations that support a quotation, trial, FAT or commissioning plan.

Direct answer

Test evidence should show the complete cap path, not only the feeder running.

A useful cap feeder evidence pack records the cap sample identity, orientation target, separation behaviour, reject behaviour, chute queue, stop/restart recovery, capper handover and visible condition of the closure after handling. It should also state what has not yet been proven.

This helps buyers compare suppliers without relying on unsupported headline speeds. It also gives Lancing a clearer basis for quotation, design review, FAT, SAT and future format decisions.

Evidence checklist

What to include in a cap feeder evidence pack.

Evidence	What to record	Why it matters
Sample set	Production caps, bottle/cap combinations, future formats and known difficult samples.	Shows whether the test represents the real line.
Orientation target	Accepted cap face, tube direction, skirt position, liner condition or pick-up attitude.	Creates a clear pass/fail condition.
Handling observations	Static, nesting, scuffing, wrong-way rejects, doubles and recirculation behaviour.	Identifies risks that may not appear in a dimension sheet.
Line interface	Discharge height, chute route, capper inlet, queue length and sensor decisions.	Connects the trial to the installed capping line.
Limitations	What was not tested, what depends on site conditions and what requires final commissioning.	Prevents trial evidence being treated as a universal guarantee.

Buyer questions

Questions about cap feeder test evidence.

Is a video needed for every cap feeder quote?

No, but video is useful when the cap is difficult, scuff-sensitive, nested, tube-bearing or hard to describe in words. It can show separation, orientation and recovery more clearly than a static photo.

Does test evidence guarantee production performance?

No. Test evidence reduces uncertainty but final performance still depends on the installed capper, controls, operators, cap supply, site conditions and acceptance criteria. The evidence should state those boundaries clearly.
