Series ALX, ALX-1

 

Supporting structure made of stainless steel AISI 304 SCOTCH – BRITE.
 
The machine structure has been designed with a particular attention to the aesthetic and functional aspects.
 
The mechanical parts are produced by means of up to date numerical control machines, therefore their total interchangeability is guaranteed.
 
Low noise level, no cork change format is required, a fully automatic and self-contained machine and feeding group of the new generation -CAMES PATENT -, all these features make the ALX the most technologically advanced feeders all over the world.
 
Various optionals are available, which improve the quality of corking and guarantee the cork sterility :
- dust removing system,
- dust suction group,
- cork heater,
- machine and corker feeding channel pressurization,
- machine and corker feeding channel automatic discharge,
- warning light for hopper cork reserve.
 

 

The corks are placed into the hopper on floor level, which assures a long operating time, they are then picked up by a special belt elevator and conveyed to the canalizing group.
The canalizing group conveys them to the feeding group through one pipe.
The feeding group working system is completely mechanical, the corks advance pushed by two rollers having a variable wheelbase, which give them an axial thrust, thus forming a continuos flux column inside the corker feeder channel.
The distance the corks are sent to can be changed by replacing the springs which produce the load on the pushing rollers.
The machine is provided with an electronic system for the cork flux control.
On request a frequency converter with its potentiometer can be mounted for the automatic synchronization with the corker.
The machine position on the bottling line is not strictly fixed, but it is advisable to place it as near to the corker as possible.
On request the machine can be equipped with one or more feeding pipes, in case it has to feed more corkers.
