You provide the grapes and our winemaking team will help you develop an outstanding still wine, following your protocol. As a full-production custom crush winery, we do all crushing, processing, necessary lab work and fermentation on site. We will then finish the process with bottling, labeling, packing and paletizing your wines for pick-up at our facility.

Automated Bottling
How it Works
FILL HEIGHT & CLOSURE SYSTEM
Bottles are cleaned, filled and scanned through a sophisticated laser Vision System which performs inspections of bottle fill height. The system then checks that filled bottles exiting the Fill Height and Closure System have properly positioned corks or screw caps. Any bottles not meeting requirements for fill height or missing proper closures are rejected, accumulated and audited by quality control personnel.
LABEL INSPECTION SYSTEM
Once filled, foiled and labeled, four precision cameras capture 360-degree views of each bottle, inspecting for correct label information, placement, defects (such as wrinkles or air bubbles), doubled labels or flagged corners.
PACKAGING
The system automatically separates bottles from cases, sending cases to an overhead conveyor and bottles into a filler. The Automatic Case Packer packs two 12-pack cases of wine at a time, seals the cases, weighs them, and rejects any that are underweight (missing bottles). Cases are tagged with ID labels then automatically palletized, based on a specific pallet configuration set by the operator for each run. Pallets are then wrapped for transport by an automatic wrapping mechanism, where a printed pallet ID tag is applied.
