Closure control
Vibratory bowl sorting, cork rails, escapements and custom chucks help present T‑corks consistently before the press head descends.

Specialist knowledge
Built around the practical details of cork insertion.
Good T‑cork capping is not just a press stroke. It depends on closure orientation, neck fit, insertion depth, bottle handling, clean operation and a machine layout that matches your production rate.
Repeatable insertion
Press travel, air pressure, bottle support and neck alignment are set to prevent skewed corks, over-insertion, top damage or inconsistent bottle presentation.
Line integration
Automatic corkers can be supplied as stand-alone cells or integrated with filling, labelling, conveyors and end-of-line automation.
Machine range
Choose the right T‑corker for your output target.
Start with the machine type, then confirm bottle and closure dimensions. Final output always depends on format, operator workflow, utilities and integration scope.
Automatic T‑cork press capper
LU‑XG16D3 T‑Cork Press Capping Machine
An automatic press-on capping machine for T-corks, inner plugs and similar push-fit closures. A vibrating bowl sorter orders the closures before feeding them to the capping head, helping maintain a consistent orientation and a repeatable insertion depth.
- Spirits and liqueur bottles using T-corks
- Brewing, beverage, cosmetics and daily chemical lines
- Producers needing automatic cork orientation before insertion
- Throughput
- 20–30 bottles/minute
- Format
- Bottle height 30–300 mm; cap diameter 18–70 mm; bottle diameter 30–100 mm
Automatic cork press with custom guide rail
LU‑XG16D1 Cork Pressing Machine with Cap Feeder
A custom automatic capping machine designed for pressing wooden T-corks and similar closures into wine bottles and related containers. The cork guiding rail is built around the closure diameter so the machine can feed, position and press the cork with minimal manual handling.
- Wineries and beverage producers scaling from manual corking
- Automatic lines requiring cork feeding before pressing
- Projects where the guide rail must match a specific cork diameter
- Throughput
- 20–60 bottles/minute
- Format
- Bottle height 30–300 mm; cap diameter 18–70 mm; bottle diameter 30–100 mm
Fully automatic cork press capper
LU‑XG16D Automatic Cork Pressing Capping Machine
A fully automatic cork feeding and pressing machine with a protective dust cover. It is designed to maintain clean, repeatable operation while pressing corks into bottles at production speed, and can be integrated with filling and labelling machines.
- Higher hygiene requirements
- Beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging lines
- Plants seeking lower manual labour and repeatable insertion depth
- Throughput
- 20–60 bottles/minute
- Format
- Bottle height 30–300 mm; cap diameter 18–70 mm; bottle diameter 20–160 mm
Automatic wine bottle cork feeder and press
LU‑DSJ2 Automatic Wine Bottle Corker
An automatic cork feeding and capping machine for efficient wine bottle corking. It feeds corks automatically and presses them into place with precision, and is suited to integration with filling and labelling equipment for automated wine bottling lines.
- Wine bottle corking with defined cork diameter and height
- Automated bottling lines needing cork feed and press in one unit
- Producers targeting around 2600 bottles/hour
- Throughput
- 2600 bottles/hour
- Format
- Cork diameter 20–23 mm; cork height 38–45 mm; bottle diameter 55–95 mm
Applications
For premium bottles and press‑fit closures.
- Whisky, gin, vodka and rum bottles
- Liqueur and spirit miniatures
- Wine and fortified wine bottles
- Premium beverage bottles
- Cosmetics and personal care containers
- Pharmaceutical and healthcare packs
- Daily chemical products
- Specialist short-run bottling

Frequently asked questions about T‑cork capping.
What is a T‑cork capping machine?
A T‑cork capping machine presses a T-shaped stopper into a bottle neck. Depending on configuration it can also sort, feed and orient closures before pressing them to a controlled depth.
Which bottles are suitable for T‑cork capping?
Suitability depends on bottle height, diameter, neck finish, cork shank diameter, cork height and closure top geometry. Lancing UK can review samples and recommend the correct chuck, guide rail and press settings.
Can a T‑corker integrate with filling and labelling machines?
Yes. Automatic T-cork capping systems can be configured with conveyors, sensors and control interfaces for integration with filling, labelling and end-of-line packaging equipment.
What throughput is possible?
Compact and linear automatic systems in this range cover approximately 20–60 bottles per minute depending on model and format, while rotary equipment can reach around 6000 bottles per hour for suitable formats.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Send bottle samples or drawings, cork dimensions, expected output, line layout, available utilities and whether you need cork sorting, feeding, dust cover, conveyor integration or commissioning support.
