R&G capsulatrice

Used Robino & Galandrino M MONOSTADIO FT6 Capsuling Machine of 1999 is a robust solution for secondary packaging, specifically designed for applying PVC and champagne capsules. This second-hand capsuling machine for sale operates at a maximum speed of 6,000 BPH when handling PVC capsules and efficiently processes 5,000 BPH with champagne capsules, making it a versatile piece of equipment for various product lines. The robino & galandrino m monostadio ft6 6000 BPH unit features 6 capsuling heads, each with manual adjustment, ensuring precise capsule application with a clockwise rotation direction. A key feature is its optical centering system for accurate capsule placement, which is critical for product presentation. This machine is also equipped with a long-autonomy capsule magazine, reducing the frequency of refills and enhancing continuous operation. For operator safety, the machine includes all necessary safety protections, ensuring a secure working environment. These used Robino & Galandrino capsuling machines are located in Europe and are offered in an 'As Is' condition, representing a practical choice for facilities looking to integrate a proven capsuling solution.

When inspecting this specific 1999 Robino & Galandrino M MONOSTADIO FT6, pay close attention to the capsuling heads. Since head adjustment is manual, confirm that all 6 heads move freely and lock securely into position, without excessive play or binding. Look for wear on the capsule hoppers and chutes, especially the edges and internal surfaces of the long-autonomy capsule magazine where capsules feed; excessive abrasion can lead to jamming. The optical centering system should be tested for functionality – ensure it accurately registers and aligns capsules. Verify the condition of the tooling for both PVC and sparkling wine capsules; worn tooling will result in inconsistent capsule application. Check the main drive motor and gearbox for any signs of leaks or unusual noise during a dry cycle, indicative of bearing wear. Though it has safety protections, inspect their integrity. Ensure all guards are present and interlocks function correctly, as compliance standards for a 1999 machine might differ from current ones. Inquire about the availability of documentation, including electrical schematics and parts lists for the 6-head configuration. Ask for any spare parts, particularly wear items like seals, springs, and friction plates from the capsuling heads. For a machine of this vintage, the condition of the electrical cabinet wiring and components is crucial; ensure there are no signs of overheating or makeshift repairs. Confirm the current electrical supply matches your facility's requirements, which could be 3-phase, 480V, 60Hz or 3-phase, 380V, 50Hz, depending on its European location.

Integrating this 1999 Robino & Galandrino M MONOSTADIO FT6 into an existing line requires careful planning, especially given its 6,000 BPH capacity and clockwise rotation. Ahead of this machine, you'll need an efficient bottle filler and corker/crowner capable of matching or exceeding its 6,000 BPH throughput for PVC-capped products or 5,000 BPH for champagne capsules. An inline accumulation table should be positioned directly upstream to absorb any minor fluctuations from the filling or corking operations, preventing starvation of the capsuler. Given the clockwise rotation, bottles will enter from the left and exit to the right, which dictates conveyor layout. A single-lane input conveyor feeding directly into the infeed scroll of the capsuler will be typical. Downstream, ensure there's sufficient space for an inspection station and potentially a labeling machine, as well as adequate accumulation to handle discharge and allow for case packing. For future flexibility, request all existing format change parts for the specific bottle diameters and heights it currently runs, particularly the infeed scroll, bottle guides, and starwheels. Consider the maximum capsule size and type it’s set for and any additional change parts needed for other capsule diameters if your product range demands it. Balancing the line without sufficient accumulation might lead to frequent starts and stops if upstream equipment doesn't consistently meet the capsuler's speed.
