Corking and Wirehooding for Sparkling Wine

OMBF Caveablock Semi-Automatic Corker Wirer Machines

The OMBF Caveablock semi-automatic corker wirer machines from Core Equipment combine natural cork insertion and wirehood application in a compact, integrated monoblock unit. Designed for traditional method sparkling wine production, these machines offer a versatile closure solution for both champagne-style mushroom corks and standard wine corks. The Caveablock range is ideal for small to medium-scale wineries seeking reliable, consistent performance with a minimal footprint.

Main Features

The wirehooding turret applies 4-post wirehoods with or without a cap while bottles are loaded and unloaded manually. Wirehoods are manually positioned onto the head, and once applied, the final eyelet twisting is completed by hand.

Two semi-automatic model options to match production needs:

  • Caveablock 500 (up to 500 b/h)
  • Caveablock 800 (up to 800 b/h)

Precise corking operation
Hydraulic corking head ensures consistent insertion of champagne corks to the correct depth.

Accurate wirehooding
Four-head turret for secure and uniform wirehood application.

Semi-automatic efficiency
Operator places bottles manually while the machine handles corking and wiring with minimal intervention.

Adjustable bottle formats
Accommodates standard sparkling wine bottle sizes with quick mechanical adjustments.

Durable, hygienic build
Stainless steel construction ensures hygiene, corrosion resistance, and longevity.

Operator-friendly design
Ergonomic layout with simple controls to reduce fatigue and facilitate fast changeovers.
