Feeders for cork and synthetic cap orientation
Optimize your bottling operations with precision orientation and feeding systems designed to streamline cork and cap placement at high speeds, ensuring seamless integration into your production line.

Feeds and Orients Corks and Synthetic Closures
The AL Series from Martini Costruzioni, including models AL 10 RM, AL 16-1 RM, AL 20-1 RM, and AL 20-2 RM, offers robust feeder and orienter systems specifically crafted for the demanding needs of the food and beverage industry. These machines efficiently handle corks and synthetic closures, making them ideal for high-speed operations in bottling plants and packaging companies.
Employing a patented mechanical paddling system that synchronizes power and delicacy, these systems ensure accurate orientation and feeding of closures, minimizing downtime and optimizing throughput. These units integrate seamlessly into existing lines, feeding closures to capping stations with precision for wine, champagne, and soft drinks bottling applications.
With a production capacity ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 closures per hour, these systems incorporate independent conveyors, adjustable elevators, and rotational mechanical feed components. Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, they provide excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
Additionally, the feeders are energy-efficient, consuming minimal power with their installed capacities and low compressed air requirement. They are PLC-controlled, facilitating easy integration with modern production systems. Optional features include rapid hopper discharge, dust extraction, and pneumatic feeding channel discharge, enhancing operational flexibility and efficiency.
