Capping & Closure Systems

Unimac-Gherri Capping Solutions for Glass Packaging

Molenaar supplies and integrates Unimac-Gherri lug cappers for glass containers. These machines apply twist-off / lug steel caps, designed exclusively for glass, creating reliable vacuum seals for foods.

Vacuum Sealing

Precision Vacuum Sealing for Product Integrity

Steam vacuum closing systems ensure a controlled vacuum level inside each container, stabilising headspace pressure and supporting long-term product quality. Unimac-Gherri’s precise handling protects both the container and the closure during sealing, while stainless-steel construction and programmable recipe recall make hygienic operation and repeatable changeovers fast and reliable. Integrated vacuum detection verifies container integrity, delivering consistent, high-quality closures across every production run.

Line Integration

Integrated Capping Systems for Complete Production Lines

Unimac-Gherri systems include cap sorting and feeding, cap sterilisation, and automatic height adjustment. Cappers interface seamlessly with upstream fillers and downstream pasteurization or retorting, labelling, sleeving and end-of-line equipment — so capping drops cleanly into your complete production line.

Glass Only

Designed Specifically for Glass Containers

Lug caps are steel closures used only on glass containers. For plastic formats, we specify alternative capping solutions to suit the product and line.
