A major bottling innovation, the AROL EURO/VAC capper is the state-of-the-art in aluminum ROPP closures, including the 30mm x 60mm long skirted wine cap. The new EURO/VAC uses a patented process that draws a vacuum on the headspace of the bottle prior to rolling the threads, thereby providing a vacuum atmosphere under a conventional aluminum ROPP cap. A worldwide break through that offers a reliable solution for decreasing the problems of the oxidation of wine in glass bottles.

The ROPP cap is picked-off by the bottleneck as the bottle moves into the capping carousel and is lifted by pistons until the bottle enters the vacuum bell. Then, a vacuum pump is activated, which creates a vacuum inside the bottleneck. At this point, the AISI 304 stainless steel SSC head threads the ROPP cap.

Besides the patented vacuum in the headspace innovation, this machine is designed with a unique and creative round structure. Not only is its round frame aesthetically appealing, but its shape provides complete accessibility for maintenance and changeover.
