CapabilitiesBuilt to integrate seamlessly into a used bottling line or
as a standalone workstation, this capsuling machine supports efficient
material flow and quick adaptation to upstream/downstream equipment in
beverage production.Universal infeed/outfeed star-wheels for smooth
transferCompatible with standard wine glass bottle geometriesIdeal for
integration with corkers, wirehooding units, labelers, and
conveyorsRecipe-based adjustments reduce format changeover timeMachine
Condition & Maintenance HistoryThis second hand capsuling machine is
presented in operational condition and suitable for immediate
integration following standard commissioning. Its automated recipe
controls and robust turret design support consistent performance in
continuous operation.Operational Performance & VersatilityThe Z 12 is
designed for wineries and beverage producers seeking dependable
capsuling with minimal downtime. Its dual-function turret allows
switching between PVC capsule heat-shrinking and sparkling hood
folding/smoothing without compromising speed or consistency.
Intelligent detection systems safeguard product quality by verifying
cap presence and stopping the machine automatically when
needed.High-speed PVC shrink capsule application for still
