Precision-engineered change parts, replacement parts, and container handling solutions built from on-site 3D measurement data. Manufacturing in Ludington, Michigan since 1982.
Packaging change parts are the custom-machined components—including timing screws, star wheels, capping chucks, bottle plates, centering bells, cap chutes, and guide rails—that let a bottling, capping, inserting, plugging, labeling, or filling line switch between different container shapes and sizes.
Change Parts, Inc. is an industry-leading manufacturer of these components for major OEM brands including Krones, Zalkin, Pneumatic Scale, and Consolidated.
On-site 3D measurement ensures every part fits the customer's existing machine with no modification required.
Every Change Parts component starts with on-site 3D scanning of your existing equipment. No machine modification required, no guesswork, no return trips for adjustments.
Portable digital coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and 3D scanning capture your machine's exact geometry in a single field visit. We design from the machine you have, not the OEM drawing.
Every part and solution is engineered to your specific container geometry and line speed. Our engineering team reviews design intent with you before any part is released to manufacturing.
When we measure your machine ourselves, we stand behind the fit. Every component engineered from a field-measurement engagement ships with a six-month guarantee, and if it doesn't seat the first time, we make it right.
Applies to parts manufactured from on-site measurement data.
Custom handling solutions built for the regulatory, durability, and speed requirements of each industry we serve.
Corrosion-resistant materials and sealed assemblies engineered for hazardous liquid handling.
High-speed synchronization for delicate glass with no scuffing, no breakage, and no label damage.
Heavy-duty parts built to handle aggressive chemistries and high-volume throughput.
Sanitary, food-grade components for high-speed PET and glass bottling lines.
Durable handling for viscous fluids, oddly shaped bottles, and high-cycle production runs.
Sanitary, tool-less designs built for cleanroom environments and regulatory compliance.
Flexible handling for trigger-spray bottles, irregular geometries, and mixed-SKU lines.
Gentle, scuff-free handling for non-standard bottle shapes and premium labels.
Stars and guides, timing screws, bottle plates, centering bells, guide rails, and pick-off tables custom-engineered from on-site measurement data to handle even unstable container geometries.

BOTTLING – STORAGE SOLUTIONS
A bottling customer needed to eliminate "where is the part?" downtime during changeovers. We engineered a custom 5S wall-cart system with engraved part callouts and color-coded zones. Every part visible, accounted for, and ready in seconds.
PHARMACEUTICAL – STORAGE SOLUTIONS
A global pharmaceutical manufacturer needed faster, more accountable changeovers on an automated packaging line. We 3D scanned every change part and built custom storage walls and mobile carts with foam cutouts shaped to each component, stored right at the line.
Answers to the questions buyers, engineers, and maintenance teams ask most often.
Custom change parts engineered from on-site machine measurements eliminate the trial-and-fit cycle that comes with generic OEM replacements. Tool-less Kwik Change designs further reduce changeover time by removing the need for manual fine-tuning during product switches.
Yes. Change Parts, Inc. manufactures parts and custom solutions compatible with all major OEM packaging machine brands, including Krones, Zalkin, Consolidated, Resina, Pneumatic Scale, Horix, Serac, Ronchi, and US Bottlers.
Yes. When Change Parts conducts on-site 3D scanning and CMM measurement, parts are designed from each customer's actual machine geometry. Parts engineered from field-measurement data carry a 6-month warranty on fit, form, and function. No machine modification required.
Yes. Our reverse engineering service measures, models, and manufactures parts for machines the OEM no longer supports, including legacy Consolidated cappers, older Pneumatic Scale lines, and discontinued Resina equipment.
Lead times vary by part complexity and whether on-site measurement is required, but Change Parts typically ships custom parts faster than OEM lead times. Contact us with your machine, bottle, and cap details for a project-specific timeline.
We'll scope it, measure it if needed, and quote it. The faster we see what you're running, the faster we can engineer parts that fit on the first try.
