Cork feeders for medium to high production rates
In the bottling industry, maintaining a steady supply of corks to capping machines can be a significant challenge. Meeting high production demands requires efficient and precise handling systems to ensure seamless operations.
Ensures consistent cork feed to capping stations
The Orientators One Pipe from Martini Costruzioni are engineered to guide and feed both natural and synthetic rounded corks at medium to high production rates. These feeders are equipped with ground-loadable hoppers, providing superior autonomy in operation while maintaining a fault tolerance of 1 in 100,000 caps. This is achieved through a sophisticated sequential control system using PLCs. The corks travel down a vertical channel facilitated by either a pneumatic or mechanical referral system, ensuring precise positioning and orientation. Options include pneumatic cylinders or an innovative mechanical rotating system, which operates quietly and minimizes cork damage. The system can handle distances up to 25 meters, making it ideal for storage in dedicated environments.
