Automatic cork dispensing VST Cork dispensing and pressing system

The VST is a system designed to automatically distribute and press T-top corks onto bottles. This automatic machine is linear, made of stainless steel, and encased. It is designed and manufactured by CDA. The VST can achieve a speed of up to 1800 corks/hour (depending on the type of cap, any downstream machines, and so on.).

In terms of its operation, here are the different stages of the system :

• Corks are introduced in bulk into a hopper (associated with an elevator),
• The elevator retrieves the corks to automatically transport them (gradually) into an orientation bowl,
  
• The orientation bowl aligns the corks in the correct direction before distributing them one by one on a ramp,
• From this ramp, the corks are distributed right at the neck level of the bottle.
  

It’s worth noting that the elevator is a standard element, providing better autonomy and simplifying the operator’s work by eliminating the need to manually transport corks to the orientation bowl.

The VST perfectly meets the needs of companies in the distillery or agri-food industries, which frequently use T-top corks to seal their bottles. This machine is appreciated for its versatility and simplicity of operation and adjustment (such as the insertion/seating force).

The VST can be used independently or integrated after a CDA linear filler (such as a K-Net Auto) or before a labeler. The VST has its very own spot in a complete packaging line.
