Spanish term or phrase: cabezal decapsulado
This is from the specifications for a bottling machine. Under the heading "Inspection System" "Operational Characteristics" is the following:

Porcentaje y causas por tipo de rechazo por cabezal decapsulado o válvula de llenado.

Text is Mexican Spanish.

Any help is appreciated.

no cap in capping headset
Explanation:
Not enough specific context to be sure, but I think this refers to the "capping headset", the device in the capping machine that presses or screws the cap on the bottle. A reject (rechazo) should occur or be triggered when the capping headset operates with no cap. A descriptive term for this event would be "no cap in capping headset" ("capping" could be omitted in a clear context).

unsealed bottle


Explanation:
As this deals with bottling, and the verb capsular means to seal a bottle, and cabezal means the 'head' or forward part (in this context, as cabezal means many things, but for example in a long-haul truck, the tractor trailer is the 'cabezal', and the head of a bed is the cabezal cama) so this means the 'head' of the bottle is unsealed.
