Used Capsuling Machine Robino & Galandrino 12000 bph

The Used Capsuling Machine Robino & Galandrino 12000 bph efficiently applies capsules on cylindrical bottles at a high hourly production rate. Produced in 1994, it features robust construction and operational reliability, ensuring high performance in the bottling sector. Consequently, it remains a preferred choice for many production facilities requiring precision in the application of capsules. Notably, although this machine does not include an integrated optical centering system, it is fully compatible with optical centering solutions—making it highly adaptable to various production needs.

Structure and Main Components of the Capsuling Machine Robino & Galandrino

The machine incorporates a 6-cup capsule distributor, ensuring a continuous and precise capsule supply. Furthermore, the system minimizes positioning errors and maintains a smooth process even at high speeds.

A key feature of this machine is the capsule feeding magazine equipped with a slatted conveyor belt that extends its autonomous running time. Capsules are loaded in bulk at the top of the magazine and descend in an orderly fashion, preventing jams. They then feed directly into the 6-cup distributor, maintaining a steady supply with minimal manual intervention.

The capsule application unit in this capsuling machine uses two rotary carousels, each equipped with 16 heads.
These carousels perform two distinct but complementary operations:

First 16-Head Carousel for 4-Fold Capsule Formation:

4-Fold System: Once the capsule is on the bottle, four forming elements close onto the top part of the capsule, creating four precise folds around the lip of the bottle. This process secures the capsule firmly in place.

Height and Tension Control: The carousel is designed to apply consistent pressure and fold angles, preventing damage to the capsule while ensuring a tight fit on the bottle neck. This uniformity helps maintain an aesthetically pleasing result and reduces rejection rates.

Second 16-Head Carousel for Smoothing:

Transfer from the First Carousel: Once the capsule is folded, each bottle is smoothly transferred to the second carousel. This transfer is synchronized to preserve the capsule’s correct positioning and to avoid any misalignment.

Smoothing Phase: Each head in this second carousel is equipped with a smoothing device (often rollers or brushes) that applies gentle yet uniform pressure to the already folded capsule. This step refines the capsule’s surface and removes any irregularities left by the 4-fold process.

Final Finish: The smoothing action ensures a uniform surface finish.

By combining these two processes—folding and smoothing—the system guarantees a precise, repeatable application while minimizing waste.

Materials and Safety of the Capsulator Robino & Galandrino

The capsulator features a stainless steel enclosure, which offers resistance to corrosion and easy cleaning, crucial in the bottling industry. Additionally, the machine includes safety protections that comply with industrial safety regulations, thereby creating a secure working environment for operators. Notably, its stainless steel structure ensures long-lasting durability, further increasing its value and reliability in high-demand production settings.

Operational Characteristics and Performance

This capsuling machine processes a cylindrical bottle format, thus optimizing the capping process for this container type. The machine's clockwise rotation maintains a continuous production flow synchronized with other units in the bottling line. Consequently, it enhances efficiency across the entire production chain and ensures seamless integration with other bottling equipment.

With a production capacity of approximately 12000 bottles per hour, the Used Capsuling Machine Robino & Galandrino 12000 bph meets the needs of high-volume production plants. Furthermore, the machine applies poly-laminated aluminum capsules, ensuring durability and a high-quality aesthetic finish. Thanks to the feature of this machine, manufacturers can achieve consistent packaging results, improving the final presentation of their bottled products and maintaining high visual and structural standards.

Suitability for Different Wines at a high hourly production rate

The machine efficiently caps sparkling wine, still wine, and champagne, thereby providing a versatile solution for diverse bottling requirements. Additionally, its adaptable design makes it ideal for various wine producers looking to streamline their capping process whil...
