Foil capsules: polylaminate with ring-strip, 34/125mm, silver etc, £75 per 1000

Foil pleater: manually operated, for 'champagne' foil capsules:-

This high quality bench-mounted machine is a simple and efficient solution for applying 125mm long foil-capsules to sparkling wine bottles.
Other models can apply shorter foils, for example on 20cl Cava bottles.

The unit has two insertion places, the insides are made of special rubber.
The left hand place has four inside grooves, to form the traditional four pleats on the capsule.
The right hand place is used to smooth the capsule over the bottle neck.
The operator simply pushes the bottle, with capsule loose over the top, into the first place and then into the second place. Up to 500 bottles an hour are possible.

No electric power is required, compressed air only is needed. The compressed air at the in-feed should be at least 5 bar (preferably 6 bar) to give a constant pressure of 4 to 4.5 bar after the air-filter/pressure-reducer which is mounted on the rear of the unit (this is set in the workshop at 4 to 4.5 bar; the setting can be adjusted slightly according to the foils being used), a pressure gauge is built in.

Size: 400mm x 200mm x 250 mmH. Weight: 10 kilos.
