The Brief
Sandford Orchards are award winning cider makers. Barny approached us looking to increase the speed and productivity of bottling in order to meet increased demand. He also wanted to add additional capability to the bottling process with the flexibility to apply ROPP or crown caps and to bottle additional products.
The Solution
After discussion, we quoted and supplied a 5,000 bottle and labelling line. This included:
- 24 head CIMEC America counter pressure filling machine with 24 head rinse, 3 head crown cap and 3 head ROPP cap functionality
- Cavagnino & Gatti CG E8/3XPSP-4 automatic labeller to provide front, back and neck labels
- 'build back' tables to ensure the bottle feed to the filling machine was not disrupted during label reel changeover on the labelling machine
The Result
'The kit is fantastic. The guys who fitted the machines were brilliant - their experience was critical for us.’ – Barny Butterfield, Co-Founder of Sandford Orchards
