New England Machinery (NEM) has spent more than 50 years building the machines that get containers and closures onto your line the right way up: bottle unscramblers, orienters, cappers, retorquers, lidders, pluggers, pump placers, scoop feeders, spout inserters, hopper elevators, and cap sorters — with thousands of machines running worldwide.
NEM equipment solves the unglamorous problems that determine whether a line actually runs: bulk bottles unscrambled and oriented at speed, caps sorted and torqued consistently, pumps and spouts inserted automatically instead of by hand. NEM serves food, beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, personal care, household, and chemical manufacturers of every size.

Open the Interactive Line Builder →High-speed unscrambling and orienting of bulk containers — the machine that feeds your whole line.
Ensures asymmetric containers face the right way for filling, labeling, and packing.
Consistent application torque, plus retorquing after induction sealing or upstream handling.
Automatic lid placement and plug insertion for tubs, jars, and specialty containers.
Automated insertion of trigger pumps, dispensers, and pour spouts.
Automatic scoop placement into powders and granular products.
Bulk cap and closure feeding to keep cappers running.
| Feature | Advantage | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| High-speed unscrambling and orienting | Bulk-dumped bottles emerge single-file, upright, and oriented | Eliminates hand-loading — one operator runs what used to take three |
| Precision torque control with retorquing | Every cap applied and re-verified at correct torque | No leakers in distribution and no over-torqued caps customers can't open |
| Automated pump, spout & scoop insertion | Removes the most labor-intensive hand assembly steps | Direct labor savings and consistent placement quality on value-added packaging |
| 50+ years, thousands of installations | Proven designs across nearly every container type | Your odd bottle shape has almost certainly run on an NEM machine before |
| Fast, repeatable changeovers | Tooling designed for multi-SKU operations | Short runs stay profitable — switch containers without losing the shift |
Industries served: Food, beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, personal care, household, chemicals
Hand-packing, hand-palletizing, and hand-capping are recurring costs that never stop. Drag the sliders to see what the task costs every year — then compare it to a machine that does it 24/7.
