Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Bertolaso S.GLORIA 500
is a second hand straight-cork capping machine engineered for reliable
performance in beverage production environments. Purpose-built for
still wine in glass bottles, this unit offers steady throughput and
precise cork application suited to a used bottling line focused on
industrial packaging efficiency. Manufacturer: Bertolaso Model:
S.GLORIA 500 Year of manufacture: 1994 Category: Capping Machine
(Straight Cork) Rated speed: up to 2,500 bottles per hour Container
type: Glass Bottle formats: 0.06 L, 0.375 L, 0.75 L Number of capping
heads: 1 Cap types: Straight natural cork and compatible synthetic
corks (e.g., Nomacorc) Product types: Wine (Still) Rotation direction:
Clockwise Condition: In storage Advanced Automation & Control Systems
Designed for consistent, repeatable corking at industrial scale, the
S.GLORIA 500 uses proven Bertolaso mechanics paired with
straightforward operator controls. The machine supports stable bottle
handling and consistent cork alignment to minimize rejects at the
capping stage. Operator interface: Practical control panel for
start/stop, speed adjustment within rated limits, and basic
diagnostics Automation level: Automatic bottle infeed and discharge
with synchronized cork application Electrical: Configured for standard
industrial threeâphase power (regional specifics to be confirmed)
Safety features included: Fixed and interlocked guards, emergency stop
stations, and compliant safety signage Production Line Integration
Capabilities This Bertolaso capper integrates seamlessly into a used
bottling line that may include rinsing, filling, labeling, and
downstream case handling. Its single-head configuration is well-suited
for small to medium wineries seeking reliable throughput with
controlled changeovers. Compatible with upstream rinsers and fillers
and downstream capsule applicators, labelers, and conveyors Format
change capability for 0.06 L, 0.375 L, and 0.75 L glass bottles using
appropriate change parts Ideal for still wine lines; not intended for
PET or aluminum containers, though it can operate within
mixed-material beverage production facilities where other stations
handle PET, glass, or aluminum Machine Condition & Maintenance History
The unit is currently in storage, presenting a solid foundation for
deployment in second hand industrial packaging operations. A visual
inspection is recommended to confirm completeness of change parts and
to plan any commissioning, servicing, or overhauls prior to
integration into a live bottling and capping line. Operational
Performance & Versatility At up to 2,500 bph, this straight-cork
capper balances gentle handling with consistent insertion force for
still wine bottling. The single capping head supports precise
alignment for both natural and synthetic corks, helping maintain
closure integrity and product quality. Its format flexibility across
three glass bottle sizes makes it a pragmatic choice for wineries
seeking dependable capping performance without overcomplexity. While
optimized for capping, the machine complements other key processes on
a used bottling line, including rinsing, filling, and labeling.
Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Stable, level floor with
adequate access for loading corks and performing routine maintenance
Integration with existing conveyors for bottle infeed and discharge at
compatible working heights Standard industrial electrical supply
(threeâphase) and proper grounding Compressed air may be required
for certain actuators or safety systems (to be confirmed for this
configuration) Clearance for safety guarding, operator access, and
sanitation protocols typical of beverage production Safety Standards &
Compliance Certification Safety features are included with this
machine, supporting safe operation within winery environments.
Guarding with interlocks helps prevent access to moving parts during
operation, while emergency stops are positioned for quick
intervention. All product-contact and proximity surfaces are designed
for food processing contexts, aligning with hygiene expectations in
wine bottling. As with any second hand equipment, verification of
local compliance and any required upgrades should be performed during
installation to meet site-specific regulations.
