Cork Stopper
How to they do it
Do you know how the cork stoppers that we create are created?
We tell you step by step what is the creation process that follows any of our agglomerated cork stoppers or micro-agglomerated cork stoppers.
Raw material
As raw material, we use cork granules of different sizes to create agglomerated cork bars and micro-agglomerated cork bars.
These granules have previously been separated from the woody particles of the bark of the tree.
Creation of cork bars
Through a pressing process, agglomerated cork bars and micro-agglomerated cork bars are obtained.
Measurements usually vary depending on the type of stopper and the end use of the cork stopper.
Slicer
By means of a machine, the cork bars are cut to the length measurements requested by the clients, among the many formats, the most common are 38 mm and 44 mm long.
Polishing
Once the cork stoppers are cut, they proceed to polishing, which consists of side grinding, head sanding and beveling, in order to achieve a better visual appearance and better mechanical behavior.
Washing
All cork stoppers are washed for proper disinfection and subsequent food use.
The impression
The caps are printed with a generic image or provided by our clients.
Smoothing
This process consists of smoothing the surface of the caps to facilitate their entry and exit from the bottle.
The count
This machine allows us to quickly count the cork stoppers that go in each sack or bag, so that our clients do not have problems with the number of units requested.
Packaging and Expedition
The last step is packaging and preparation for shipment in the delivery trucks that arrive at the loading area.
