Your SureKap associate will be glad to provide you with a preliminary quotation based on the information you provide from the online quotation request form or during your telephone discussion with the associate. This quotation will be subject to sample and completed data sheet approval. In order to provide you with the most accurate pricing, we always prefer to have samples of the caps, containers, and product prior to providing a quotation for a project. Based on our extensive experience with a wide variety of applications, we can usually provide a quotation based on a sample set of approximately 2-3 of each bottle and cap along with a small sample of product. For evaluation purposes, samples should be sent to: SureKap Inc, 579 Barrow Park Dr, Winder, GA 30680

In general terms, a semi-automatic machine will require the participation of an operator to perform each product cycle. For instance, a semi-automatic filler such as the SKF4000 will require an operator to line-up the bottles under the filling heads and manually start each fill cycle by engaging the start button or depressing the foot switch. Similarly, a cap tightener like the SK600 will require an operator to hand place and start caps prior to the application of torque by the tightener. Semi-automatic equipment is an excellent solution for production lines that have previously been handled on a purely manual basis, but increased volume demands the assistance of some automation. Also, semi-automatic equipment is useful when a facility performs frequent short-production runs or odd-lot runs that would not justify the use of the fully automatic line. Fully Automatic Equipment is beneficial when speeds have reached the point where manual labor needs to be minimized as much as possible in order to keep up with higher production demands. Although most facilities will assign someone to monitor the line, the need for hands on labor for each production cycle is largely eliminated with fully automatic equipment. This reduction in labor can result in dramatic savings that makes the payback period on an equipment purchase surprisingly brief.

The purchase process is actually quite simple. The following items are necessary to complete an order and start the lead time:
Bulk samples (typically consisting of 1,500 of each cap and 12 of each container for a capper order; 24 of each container and a small sample of each product for a filler order)
Completed data sheet (s) and/or turntable orientation guide which will be provided with your quotation Deposit Signed acceptance copy of the quotation or a copy of your Purchase Order.
SureKap will always strive to expedite your equipment order as much as possible. However, all of the above specified items are essential to allow for the start of your order. For planning purposes, you should plan for an equipment completion date based on the quoted lead time with the start date determined by the date that all of the above items are received by Surekap.
