For Sale is a 6-head Counter Pressure bottling system with integrated Infeed Table, Labler, Rinser, Filler, Capper, and Outfeed Table. Manufactured in Italy in 2015 by Cime Careddu and purchased through Prospero USA. We used it for bottling still and carbonated beer in 750mL and 375 mL formats, with 26mm bottle caps. 750 mL bottles ran ~700 bottles/hour, and 375s run ~1060 bottles/hour. Once you get used to it, format changeover can be done in ~15 minutes.

It is in good working order, aside from a few chipped conveyer links on infeed table that doesn’t affect functionality (see photos). Buyer will want to regularly grease Zircs on motors and grease timing gears. Buyer will want to get their own star wheels and fill tubes appropriate for their bottle formats.

Total bottling line dimensional footprint is 28’ x 6.5’ (it is L-shaped and the 6.5’ width is the Outfeed/Collection Table, which makes the base of the L). 95” tall at highest point (bottlecap hopper) when running tall bottles (our 750mL format).

Operating/Maintenance Manual is included, as are assorted tools for changeover, and 2 sets of star-wheels (see below for format details). See the following links for Photos and Videos of Operation. The full sized photos couldn’t fit in this post.
