The Automatic Lid Placer & Closer for Large Pails helps speed up filling and sealing for quart to six gallon containers. Built for friction and press-on lids, it delivers smooth, accurate roll-through closing for both metal and plastic lids. The system places each lid with care, helping reduce manual work while keeping production moving at a steady pace.

Lids are fed individually from the in-feed and moved onto filled containers by suction cup for precise placement. Each container then travels through star wheels that guide it into position before it passes under the closer. This step helps make sure the lid is properly seated before final closing, which supports a more consistent seal and fewer handling issues on the line.

This machine is a strong fit for cups, deli tubs, and buckets that use metal or thin plastic lids that are too flexible for vertical stacking units. It is especially useful for lid types that need more controlled handling before closing. With quick changeovers and reliable performance, this system helps boost output, lower labor demands, and improve overall line efficiency.
