Corker capper
COMET 3000 B/C
The COMET 3000 B/C, a stand-alone automatic machine handling a range of different capping methods: T-Corks, Vinoseal (all closures).
This machine is also available in "L" version, capable of handling STELVIN LUX 30H60 caps.
A stand-alone corking/capping machine
Bottle selection on entry is done using an Archimedes' screw. The bottles are then routed to the "revolver" capping column which can handleseveral different capping methods (including corks, crown caps and screw caps) by single rotation.
It features an electric height regulator (180 to 380mm).
The “Croix-de-Malte” drive for the star is easily detachable, providing a direct path for bottles.
Screw cap model
Screw caps such as "STELVIN" (30mm diameter x H 60mm) are fed by an "EC 4000" directing lift or a rubber belt, with a large capacity stainless-steel hopper placed on the ground.
To maximise capping efficiency, the COMET 3000 B/C includes some exciting technical features:
- A cap chute connected to a channel fitted with a flexible dispensing head.
- A "ZALKIN" 104-4 dial head, with a "no cap - no roll" device, and motorisation electronically synchronised with the capper run rate.
- An electronic speed control enabling the run rate to be accurately set (from 0 to 3000 B/H).
Crown capper model
Distributing D crown caps: 26 or 29 mm (with or without built-in feature) is handled by a rotating selector with a large capacity stainless-steel hopper placed on top of the column.
The COMET 3000 B/C capping system has many advantages for integrating a crown capping system:
- An easily detachable down pipe.
- A cap detection mechanism to ensure no caps are missed.
- A fixed and easily adjustable positioning head (vertical pressure and closing diameter)
- A diameter control ring supplied with the machine.
Wooden head cork model
Wooden head corks are handled using a positioning and insertion head.
The corks are distributed by a vibration device with a stainless-steel hopper (D: 500 x H: 250mm). This adjustable hopper makes it possible to manage alternative paths for other cork formats.
The vibrating device is positioned on an external support fixed to the machine frame. A stainless-steel downpipe feeds the head directly.
