Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Used Wirehooder Robino
and Galandrino 8 T 2012 is a high-efficiency rotary wire-hooding
machine designed for continuous operation in a used bottling line for
beverage production. Built on the proven Record 8 platform, it offers
robust performance for glass bottles closed with corks and secured by
wirehoods (muselets). With eight heads, anticlockwise rotation, and a
high-capacity wire dispenser, it sustains demanding industrial
packaging cycles while minimizing stops. Manufacturer: Robino &
Galandrino Model: Record 8 Year of construction: 2012 Application:
Automatic wirehood (muselet) application on corked glass bottles No.
of heads: 8 (rotary) Rotation direction: Anticlockwise Production
speed: Up to 8,000 bph (format dependent) Format readiness: Equipment
included for 2 bottle formats; variable head height for rapid set-up
High-capacity dispenser: Yes, long autonomy loading of wires
Electrical requirements: 400V, 50Hz, 4A Container focus: Glass
bottles; integrates in lines that may also process PET or aluminum
containers in other stations Typical products: Sparkling wine,
champagne, cider, specialty beer; compatible within lines also
handling wine, water, juice, and beer Condition: In storage; operated
in production until 2021 Documentation: Manuals available Advanced
Automation & Control Systems This Record 8 wirehooder operates as a
fully automatic station within a rotary monoblock or standalone
configuration. It synchronizes bottle infeed, turret handling, and
outfeed for stable, repeatable wirehood application at high speeds.
Changeover is facilitated by variable head height and preconfigured
components for two formats, supporting efficient, second hand line
reconfiguration. Electrical specifications of 400V, 50Hz, 4A align
with standard European industrial environments. Safety features are
included for guarded operation and operator protection, and the
machine is supplied with manuals to support commissioning, operation,
and maintenance. Production Line Integration Capabilities Engineered
for seamless integration, this unit fits downstream of corking in a
used bottling line and upstream of labeling, capsule application, or
inspection. It interfaces effectively with conveyors and accumulation
systems on beverage production lines that include rinsing, filling,
capping/corking, and labeling modules. The anticlockwise rotation must
be matched with line flow. Quick format adjustments and the included
change parts support multi-SKU production. While the wirehooder works
specifically on corked glass bottles, it can coexist in mixed lines
where other containers such as PET or aluminum cans are processed on
parallel or adjacent stations. Machine Condition & Maintenance History
Placed in storage after continuous operation until 2021, this second
hand Robino & Galandrino wirehooder presents in very good overall
condition. Its reputable build quality, included safety features, and
availability of manuals contribute to straightforward recommissioning
and predictable performance once integrated into an industrial
packaging environment. Operational Performance & Versatility The
eight-head turret balances speed and application quality, helping
maintain line efficiency at up to 8,000 bph. The high-capacity wire
dispenser extends run time between reloads, reducing micro-stops and
improving OEE. Variable head height enables fast adaptation to
different bottle heights within the two included formats. Ideal for
sparkling wine, champagne, cider, and certain premium beers sealed
with cork and wirehood, the machine supports a broad beverage
production portfolio. It integrates readily with upstream filling and
corking and downstream labeling and packaging, supporting cohesive
performance across the entire line. Installation Requirements & Site
Preparation Prepare a stable, level area with adequate access around
the machine for maintenance, sanitation, and loading of wire spools.
Align conveyor heights and line direction with the unitâs
anticlockwise rotation. Ensure a suitable electrical supply of 400V,
50Hz, 4A with proper grounding. Coordinate I/O and control signals
with the line PLC as required for infeed/outfeed interlocks and
emergency stops. Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The
wirehooder is equipped with safety features and guarding to support
safe operation within a professional bottling environment. Interfacing
the unit with plant safety protocols, lockout/tagout procedures, and
hygiene practices is recommended. Manuals are provided to guide safe
set-up, operation, and cleaning, supporting compliance with common
industrial packaging and beverage production standards applicable at
the installation site.
