Bertolaso tappatore

Used Bertolaso S.GLORIA 500 R/S Cappers of 1994, a robust choice for wineries and beverage producers looking for reliable capping solutions. This specific used bertolaso cappers, model S.GLORIA 500 R/S, is meticulously designed with a single head, capable of handling both straight corks and mushroom corks. It operates at a consistent speed of 2500 BPH, ensuring steady production throughput for various bottling demands. The machine incorporates a leveller, an essential feature for guaranteeing uniform cork insertion and presentation. Safety is prioritized with integrated safety protection features, providing peace of mind during operation. Its clockwise rotation makes it compatible with many existing line configurations. This particular second-hand cappers for sale unit, a bertolaso s.gloria 500 r/s 2500 BPH, is located in Europe and is offered in 'As Is' condition. For operations requiring a dependable, dedicated single-head corker, this 1994 Bertolaso S.GLORIA 500 R/S represents a straightforward acquisition.

When inspecting this 1994 Bertolaso S.GLORIA 500 R/S, you're looking at a single-head corker, so pay particular attention to the cork feeding and insertion mechanisms. For a machine of this vintage, the mechanical condition of the cork piston and the associated cam followers is critical; check for excessive play or scoring. Given its single-head configuration, the wear will be concentrated on these few components. Confirm the leveller is functional and smoothly engaging, as this directly impacts cork finish. As for the 'safety protection,' verify the integrity of the guards and that any interlocks are still operational and haven't been bypassed. For the electrical system, especially on a 1994 model, inspect the wiring for embrittlement and ensure control components aren't obsolete; compatibility with modern PLCs or line control systems might be a consideration for future upgrades. Always request any existing maintenance logs and ask for spare parts, specifically focusing on wear items for the corking head – seals, springs, and any specialized tooling for both straight and mushroom corks. The 'As Is' condition implies no guarantees, so a thorough physical inspection of all moving parts, gearboxes, and bearings for leaks, excessive noise, or unusual wear patterns is paramount. Look for evidence of regular lubrication or neglect. The mentioned 'safety protections' are a definite value-add, but their current functionality must be independently verified on-site.

Integrating this 1994 Bertolaso S.GLORIA 500 R/S cappers into an existing line requires careful planning, especially given its 2500 BPH speed and clockwise rotation. Ahead of the capper, you'll want a rinser/filler bloc that can consistently deliver containers at or slightly above 2500 BPH to ensure a steady supply. For filling, a rotary filler with adequate valves is ideal to avoid starvation. The clockwise rotation means your infeed conveyor will typically approach from the left if looking at the machine from the operator's side, discharging to the right. Consider a short accumulation table just before the capper, perhaps 30-60 seconds of buffer, to absorb minor upstream fluctuations without stopping the capper. Post-capping, a labeling machine, typically operating at a slightly higher speed to catch up or with its own accumulation, would be next. For format changeovers, you'll primarily need specific parts for the cork-handling mechanism and possibly starwheels/guides if your bottle diameter or height varies significantly. Always identify what format parts are currently installed and request a complete list of any available spares, especially if you plan to run multiple bottle or cork sizes. Throughput balancing is key; ensure your rinser and filler are sized to match or exceed the 2500 BPH of this Bertolaso to prevent bottlenecks.
