Nortan Prisma R rotary monobloc capsulers and spinning roll units
Prisma Rullante rotary capsulers are engineered for automatic distribution and precision spinning of polylaminate and tin capsules. Multi-head turrets deliver outputs from 2,700 to 28,000 bottles per hour, producing smooth folds and tight adhesion along the bottle neck contour.
- Rotary turrets featuring 3 to 30 spinning heads with driven spindles
- Fine mechanical adjustment of rolling heads to match bottle neck angles
- Variable spindle rotational speed control driven by frequency inverters
- Electronic bottle presence and capsule positioning monitoring sensors
Nortan Prisma Termico rotary heat-shrink capsuling machines
Prisma Termico rotary capsulers perform fast thermal shrinkage of PVC and polymer capsules utilizing specialized Termoflex heating heads. Advanced thermal regulation loops stabilize air temperatures to achieve uniform wrinkle-free contraction without material discoloration.
- Termoflex thermal heads with separate thermocouple monitoring per nozzle
- Energy-efficient hot air flow management during line buffer stops
- Height-adjustable air distribution manifolds for 0.375L to 1.5L bottles
- Protective thermal shielding and integrated exhaust ducting systems
Nortan Unicap compact automatic capsuling monobloc packages
The Unicap series features compact monobloc systems for capsule distribution and shrinking or rolling designed for wineries running up to 3,500 bottles per hour. Models Unicap 35 and 50 integrate a magazine, bottle lift platform and working head within a unified frame.
- Compact corrosion-resistant alloy frame designed for boutique bottling lines
- Single-cup pneumatic capsule dispenser with interchangeable orienting cups
- Fast interchangeability between mechanical rolling and thermal shrink heads
- Universal infeed scroll with adjustable settings for various bottle diameters
Nortan Minerva, Mirage and Agraffa automatic wirehooding systems
The Minerva, Mirage and Agraffa series machines are built to orient plaquettes, position wire hoods over cork stoppers and execute uniform wire twisting on sparkling wine bottles. The mechanical assemblies sustain heavy continuous duty at speeds reaching 20,000 bottles per hour.
- Vertical and rotary high-capacity magazines for uninterrupted wire feeding
- Hardened alloy wire-twisting hooks and synchronized cam-driven clamp arms
- Automatic plaquette centering relative to bottle relief and neck labels
- Pneumatic bottle lift cylinders with cushioned neck-gripping collars
Nortan Sleeve shrink sleeve applicators and shrink tunnel systems
The Nortan Sleeve machinery line delivers automatic unwinding, rotary blade cutting and sleeve positioning over bottle bodies or neck tamper bands from 3,500 to 30,000 bottles per hour. Packages include steam or hot-air tunnels for uniform contour film shrinkage.
- High-precision servo-driven film feed mechanism with rotary cutter knives
- Continuous sleeve reel accumulation systems enabling zero-downtime splicing
- Multi-zone steam shrink tunnels with independent zone steam valves
- Interchangeable mandrel assemblies accommodating round and contoured glass
Nortan S.r.l. capsuling and packaging engineering for bottling lines
Italian manufacturer Nortan S.r.l. has built automated bottle finishing machinery for the wine, brewing and beverage industries for over thirty years. Based in Veronella in the province of Verona, the plant designs rotary capsulers, wirehooders and thermal shrink systems.
Nortan machinery is deployed across liquid packaging facilities for still wines, champagne, spirits, cider, edible oils and vinegar.
The engineering architecture utilizes synchronized cam drives, centralized lubrication points and high-grade stainless alloys.
Modular turrets and interchangeable bottle-handling starwheels allow quick adaptation to various bottle heights and body diameters, ensuring steady container flow without jamming or neck scuffing.
Prisma rotary capsuling systems: precision spinning rolls and heat shrink
The Prisma rotary series encompasses Prisma Rullante models featuring mechanical spinning rolls and Prisma Termico models equipped with Termoflex hot-air nozzles. Carousel turrets mount between 3 and 30 working heads to deliver throughputs from 2,700 to 28,000 bottles per hour.
The spinning spindles apply balanced pressure to produce clean folds on polylaminate and tin foils without tearing.
For shrinkable PVC sleeves, the Termoflex assembly directs heated air with continuous closed-loop temperature supervision per nozzle. Motorized turret height adjustment and bottle-centering clamps enable rapid changeovers between production runs while maintaining repeatable closure quality.
Unicap compact monobloc systems for boutique and medium wineries
The Unicap 35 and Unicap 50 monobloc packages provide automated capsuling for wineries operating at outputs up to 3,500 bottles per hour. The compact stainless structure integrates a gravity capsule magazine, pneumatic feeder cup and working head for spinning or shrinking.
The equipment is engineered for intensive seasonal campaigns with minimal maintenance downtime.
A rapid-mount tooling interface permits operators to switch between PVC shrink nozzles and polylaminate roll-down heads. Optical sensors detect bottle presence and capsule delivery, preventing idle cycles and safeguarding delicate glass containers throughout continuous operation.
Minerva and Agraffa automatic wirehooders for sparkling wine and champagne
Securing traditional champagne corks with wire hoods and metal plaquettes requires precise mechanical coordination. Minerva 108, Mirage and Agraffa machines orient plaquettes, seat the wire cage and twist the wire loop at speeds up to 20,000 bottles per hour.
Heavy-duty cam-driven twisting hooks provide consistent wire tension without breaking strands.
High-capacity vertical magazines provide extended autonomous operation between reloads. All contact assemblies in the damp bottling environment are fabricated from corrosion-resistant alloys and food-grade polymers that endure regular washdowns and chemical sanitation procedures.
Nortan Sleeve shrink sleeve applicators and heating tunnel packages
The Nortan Sleeve machinery family handles unwinding, rotary knife shearing and sleeve placement over bottle bodies or tamper-evident neck bands at speeds from 3,500 to 30,000 bottles per hour.
Units employ servo-driven web feeds and quick-change mandrel assemblies to accommodate round, tapered and contoured glass or polymer containers.
For uniform film shrinkage without graphics distortion, Nortan pairs applicators with multi-zone steam or hot-air tunnels. Controlled steam distribution around the bottle geometry ensures smooth film adhesion over complex bottle shoulders and fluted body profiles.
Component specification and spare parts selection by factory nameplate
To sustain continuous plant uptime, replacement mechanical assemblies, wear parts and format tooling are identified directly from factory nameplates and unit serial numbers.
The catalog includes spinning rolls, Termoflex heating elements, wire-twisting hooks, infeed timing screws, PE-UHMW starwheels and pneumatic seal kits.
Every item is verified against manufacturer engineering drawings to guarantee dimensional fit and operational durability. Shipments include complete commercial export documentation, customs paperwork and multimodal transport directly to client facilities.
