Bottle Corking & Capping Machines

How to choose a wine corking or bottle capping machine

The right wine corking machine or bottle capping machine depends primarily on the closure to be applied, the bottle format, the quantity to be processed and the level of use required.

Before purchasing, check the compatibility indicated on the individual product page, including closure type and dimensions, bottle format, operating system and any specific accessories required.

Wine corking machines and bottle corkers

Bottle corkers are designed to insert compatible corks into bottles. Depending on the individual model, the range includes machines for natural corks, synthetic corks or plastic closures.

Manual, floor-standing, column, hydraulic and other corking solutions are available for different operating requirements. Not every corker is compatible with every closure, so always check the specifications of the selected machine before purchasing.

Manual and floor-standing corkers

Manual corkers are suitable when a simple mechanical solution is required. Floor-standing and column models provide a different working configuration and can be useful when greater stability is needed during corking.

When comparing models, check bottle dimensions, compatible cork type and size, machine configuration and intended level of use.

Pneumatic and automatic corking machines

Pneumatic and automatic solutions are available for users who require a different level of operation from manual corkers. Their suitability depends on the quantity of bottles to be processed, the closure used and the technical specifications of each machine.

Always refer to the individual product page for power supply, compressed-air requirements where applicable and closure compatibility.

Bottle capping machines and crown cappers

Bottle cappers are used to apply compatible caps and other closures. This category includes crown cappers as well as pneumatic and other capping machines designed for the closure types specified for each model.

Crown cappers

Crown cappers are designed to apply crown caps to compatible bottles. Available solutions include manual twin-lever models, column cappers and pneumatic machines.

Before choosing, check crown cap diameter, compatible head or bell, bottle format and the specifications of the individual capper.

Capping machines for other compatible closures

The range also includes machines designed for other closure systems, such as compatible plastic closures, screw caps or non-refillable closures, depending on the model.

Because these systems are not interchangeable, always verify the exact closure type and dimensions supported by the machine before purchasing.

Sparkling wine corking and wire hood accessories

Sparkling wine bottles may require equipment compatible with mushroom corks and, depending on the closure system, tools for applying or tightening wire hoods.

Check the bottle, cork and wire hood specifications carefully to ensure that the selected equipment is suitable for the intended closure.

Difference between corking machines, capping machines and finishing equipment

Corking and capping machines apply the closure to the bottle after filling. Heat-shrink capsules and capsule applicators belong instead to the finishing stage and do not replace the cork or cap.

Before closing bottles, you can browse Wine Bottle Fillers. For the subsequent finishing stage, see Bottle Capsules & Shrinkers and Bottle Labelling Machines.
