Capsuladora Automática - GAI

The 4140 is the result of GAI's experience in corking. Four prismatic stainless steel dowels close the cap. The Gai uses a patented solution that allows it to compress the 16 mm cap, achieving less stress on the cork. The cure in the construction of the tap head is extreme: the roughness of the cork contact surfaces is less than 0.05 micron. Closure of the cap is slow (105 °), plugging is fast (53 °). The drawer of the dowels is easily removable to facilitate maintenance and cleaning operations. The gas injector is also supplied as standard with the machine.

This operation is very important for its many functions: Cork capping detail 4140 - Gai spa
1) Reduces oxidation drastically. With a 60mm filling level and 45mm cap, it passes from 1.40 to 0.25 mg of oxygen per liter of wine.
2) Combats the cap dripping. Using CO2 this gas will melt in the wine avoiding the constant pressure between wine and cork.
3) The gas injector can also check the fill level. The normal ± 1 mm tolerance is reduced to ± 0.5 mm. The gas injector is equipped with a false bottle that facilitates the sterilization of the same. The capper is also equipped with vacuum capping series.

The advantages of this system are:
1) Bottle pressure is not created when the cap is introduced.
2) the trapped oxygen between the wine and the cap is further reduced from 0.25 to 0.08 mg per liter (with a 0.75 liter filling bottle 60 and a 45 mm cap).
