The mechanism will automatically sort and feed plastic top corks or srew caps from the floor mounted bulk hopper. They are then delivered to the escapement and cork-cap applicator. The applicator will navigate the cork/cap from the chute escapement on to the container and insert the cork into the retainer, pressing the cork to its position on the neck of the container. The screw cap will be placed and torqued accordingly depending on the container. The containers are automatically indexed and centered under the application station for container for cork alignment and later released once the cork has been applied.
