Why is it called manual if it has a motor?
Manual refers to the way you handle the jars and activate the machine. You place the lid, position the jar and lower the handle; the electric motor provides the turning action.
Which lids can it fit?
It is designed for compatible screw-on and twist-off lids. Share the lid type, diameter, jar height and photographs of the packaging so we can check suitability. The dimensions alone do not confirm that every jar and lid combination will work.
Can I use an 82 mm lid?
This size needs confirmation before ordering. The supplied technical sheet specifies a maximum diameter of 80 mm, while Swienty's public listing states 82 mm. Send us your exact lid and jar specification so we can check the current machine with Swienty.
What torque setting should I use?
Swienty's technical sheet recommends 2–3 Nm for screw-on and twist-off lids. Check the required closing torque for your particular packaging and test the closure before starting the batch.
Does it place lids on the jars automatically?
You place each lid on the jar yourself. The machine then screws it into place when you lower the handle.
How many jars per hour can I close?
Output depends on the jars, lids and how quickly the operator places and removes them. The 119 rpm figure is the motor's rotational speed, not a finished-jars-per-hour rate.
