Secure Corks on Pressurized Beverage Bottles
A wire hood, also known as a muselet or wire cage, helps hold the cork securely in place on bottles containing carbonated beverages. ZONESUN equipment positions and tightens the wire hood with consistent tension for reliable closure appearance and repeatable bottling results.
Consistent Tightening
Controlled mechanical tightening provides a more uniform finish than manual wire twisting and supports consistent packaging across each production batch.
Flexible Integration
Wire hooding equipment can operate as a standalone station or be integrated after corking and before capsule application, labeling and secondary packaging.
