Robino & Galandrino Poker 8/16 Used Capsuling Machine Poker 8

Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Robino & Galandrino Poker 8/16 is a second hand rotary capsuling machine engineered for high-efficiency finishing on glass bottles within a used bottling line for beverage production and other industrial packaging applications. Built in 1994, this robust unit combines reliability with proven performance for wineries, distilleries, and premium beverage brands. Manufacturer / Model: Robino & Galandrino – Poker 8/16 Category: Capsuling machine (rotary) Year of manufacture: 1994 Nominal speed: up to 12,000 bph (bottles per hour) No. of heads: 16 Container type: Glass bottles Compatible bottle formats: 0.06 L, 0.375 L, 0.50 L, 0.75 L Capsule type: 0,1 (per OEM coding; consult tooling for materials and dimensions) Capsules stock: 1 (single capsule magazine/feeder) Rotation direction: 0 (manufacturer code) Condition: In storage Documentation: Manuals available Safety: Safety features included Advanced Automation & Control Systems Designed for repeatability and ease of operation, the Poker 8/16 provides centralized control to manage capsule feed, application, and spinning/shrinking parameters as required by the installed tooling. Operators benefit from intuitive setup for bottle formats and stable handling at high speeds. Safety guarding and interlocked access points help protect the operator while preserving uptime. Manuals are supplied to support commissioning, programming, and maintenance routines. Centralized operator controls for format setup and speed management Consistent capsule application across 16 stations for uniform aesthetics Integrated safety systems with guards and interlocks Designed to interface with upstream/downstream line controls and conveyors Production Line Integration Capabilities This capsuling machine integrates seamlessly into complete used bottling line configurations featuring rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling. It typically operates downstream of corking or stopper application and upstream of labeling and inspection modules. While the unit itself is engineered for glass bottles, it can be incorporated within mixed-material production environments where other modules might process PET, glass, or aluminum containers. Synchronizes with conveyors, corkers, caps feeders, and labelers Format changeovers for 0.06–0.75 L glass bottles with appropriate parts Supports multi-SKU beverage production where capsule finishing is required Compatible with inspection, coders, and downstream case packing Machine Condition & Maintenance History The Robino & Galandrino Poker 8/16 is currently in storage. Visual condition is consistent with a well-preserved second hand industrial packaging machine of its class. Included safety features and the availability of manuals facilitate a smooth recommissioning process. A full technical inspection is recommended to define any wear parts or change parts needed for your specific formats and capsule specifications. Operational Performance & Versatility Engineered for consistent capsule application at up to 12,000 bph, this machine suits producers seeking premium presentation across a range of beverages and liquid products packaged in glass. Typical applications include wine (still and sparkling), spumante, spirits, beer, soft drinks, juice, tea, water (still and sparkling), vinegar, and edible oil. It can also serve specialty non-beverage items such as detergents where capsule finishing is part of brand presentation. Within a high-speed beverage production environment, the Poker 8/16 contributes to a clean, uniform finish that complements downstream labeling and coding quality. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation For optimal performance, prepare a level, vibration-free floor with sufficient clearance for operator access, maintenance, and capsule stock replenishment. Provide a suitable conveyor interface to upstream corking/capping and downstream labeling/inspection. Standard utilities typically include three-phase electrical supply, compressed air for capsule feeding/actuation, and—if equipped with shrinking devices—hot air or steam and appropriate ventilation/extraction. Final utility loads, integration points, and change parts should be confirmed during line engineering and FAT/SAT. Level floor and adequate perimeter access for service Conveyor height and synchronization to line speed Electrical and pneumatic connections per OEM manual Ventilation for heat-shrink applications if installed Safety Standards & Compliance Certification Safety features are included, with machine guards and interlocked doors designed to protect operators during high-speed operation. Emergency stop devices and clear access zones contribute to compliant operation when installed and validated according to local regulations. Hygienic design considerations support cleanability in beverage environments, aligning with good manufacturing practices and quality requirements common to food and beverage packaging.
