An automated, continuously operating apparatus for assembling valve assemblies onto containers includes a valve carrier using partial vacuum to secure valve assemblies during operation. The apparatus may further include a plurality of jaw assemblies for securing and/or straightening a dip tube, bag-on-valve, or other structure depending from the valve assembly prior to insertion into a container. The apparatus may include sub-assemblies that are adjustable relative to a base frame, thereby facilitating adjustment for container of different heights and to actuate different stroke lengths associated therewith. A defective valve assembly eject system may also be provided to prevent valve assemblies that do not have a dip tube or bag-on-valve from being entering the apparatus and being attached to a container.
