Direct answer
A T‑corking machine’s useful production rate is the number of saleable bottles it can cap repeatedly with the agreed finished height, orientation, cosmetic finish and reject handling. A published machine speed is only meaningful when the bottle, closure, feeder and line conditions match the tested format.
Verified reference outputs in the current LU range
| Machine | Published reference output | Important condition |
|---|---|---|
| LU‑XG16D3 Automatic T‑Cork Press Capping Machine | 20–30 bottles/minute | Dependent on bottle and closure compatibility. |
| LU‑XG16D1 Automatic Cork Pressing Machine with Cap Feeder | 20–60 bottles/minute | Dependent on bottle, closure and feeding route. |
| LU‑XG16D Automatic Cork Pressing Capping Machine | 20–60 bottles/minute | Confirmed against the selected format and integration boundary. |
| LU‑DSJ2 Automatic Wine Bottle Cork Feeding Capping Machine | 2600 bottles/hour | For compatible cork and bottle dimensions in the supplied range. |
| LU‑XG440K Automatic Rotary Wine Bottle Corking Machine | Approximately 6000 bottles/hour | For suitable bottle formats and rotary-line conditions. |
| LU‑XG1870D1 Pneumatic Cork Press | Format and operator dependent | Output depends on manual handling, tooling and workflow. |
What usually limits T‑corking output?
- Closure feeding and presentation consistency.
- Bottle spacing, stopping and location under the press.
- Insertion stroke and safe return of the press head.
- Discharge, accumulation and downstream clearance.
- Operator loading or inspection where the route is semi-automatic.
- Restart recovery after a low-level, jam, missed closure or downstream stop.
Questions buyers ask about output
Is bottles per minute the same as good bottles per minute?
No. Bottles per minute can describe a machine cycle or a reference capacity. Good bottles per minute means accepted bottles with the agreed finished height, straightness, top appearance and reject handling across a realistic run.
Should output be tested with real stops and restarts?
Yes for automatic projects. A useful trial should include low feeder level, missed closure, infeed interruption, downstream blockage and restart recovery where those events are likely in production.
