Pneumatic bench-top capping for multiple cap types

Streamline your capping process with a versatile solution designed to ensure perfect sealing on wine, beer, syrup, vinegar, and liquor bottles, using pneumatic power for precise and consistent results.

Seals, Corks, and Caps Bottles

The Starcap from Tenco is a semi-automatic pneumatic bench-top capping machine designed for versatility and precision in small-scale production environments. Its robust design facilitates the seamless sealing of a wide array of bottle types, including wine with synthetic corks, craft beer with crown caps, and specialty liquids with pressure caps. The machine operates with a two-button activation system, guaranteeing perfect cork insertion and cap placement with minimal manual intervention, which enhances workplace safety. Capable of handling up to 500 units per hour, Starcap integrates efficiently within your final conditioning and packaging operations. Although compact, it boasts the adaptability to work with different cap diameters and bottle heights, incorporating customizable kits for specific capping requirements. Its energy-efficient pneumatic operation reduces setup costs, as it requires only a standard compressor, which is not included. Designed without a hopper, it provides flexibility for artisanal and small batch producers who prefer hands-on quality control.
