Winery Production Facility
A 28 head filler which runs 6,000 bottles per hour on still wine or 3,000 bottles per hour on sparkling with a Stelvin or cork closure.
Affixes a wire hood to a sparkling bottle to hold the cork in place.
Sparkling wine is bottled at 32 degrees. A warming tunnel warms the bottle to room temperature (55 degrees) so a label can immediately be affixed to the product versus setting the product aside for a period of time to equilibrate to room temperature.
This four-head capsular has the capability to put a heat shrunk PVC or crimped foil capsule onto a bottle.
A three station labeler has the ability to do a one-piece label; a front, a front and back and/or a neck label.
For date stamping a production date on a bottle. Used for lot traceability.
