Cork feeders for medium to high production rates

Optimize your cork handling process with precision guidance and high-speed orientation to eliminate jamming and ensure consistent cork placement in beverage bottling lines.

Guides and Feeds Corks for Bottling

The OR series from Martini Costruzioni MAR.CO. offers sophisticated orientation feeders for natural and synthetic corks in high-speed bottling applications. These feeders utilize precision guidance and pneumatic or mechanical referral systems, ensuring accurate cork positioning and minimal waste. Ideal for beverage manufacturers and wine producers, they handle between 7,000 to 22,000 corks per hour, depending on the model. The equipment seamlessly integrates into existing lines, utilizing PLC control for automation, and features stainless steel construction for durability. Options for hopper sizes and maintenance-friendly features like dust aspirators and quick-release hoppers enhance operational efficiency. The series supports long-distance cork feeding, up to 25 meters, and meets high production demands with minimal adjustments during cork changes.
