Gai, awarded in Germany at Simei 2017 with the prestigious "Technological Innovation Award Simei 2017"

Innovation and technological creativity are the pillars on which the Innovation Challenge SIMEI Lucio Mastroberardino is based. A prize created by the Unione Italiana Vini (National Italian Wine Association), which offers an acknowledgment of innovations in the wine and bottling sector, useful in stimulating new ideas to be developed to bring the industry to ever-higher levels. As demonstrated by the technological solutions in the competition, and above all by the winners, Italian technology has once again proved to be one of its leading role in innovation for the wine sector".

Techniques in the race have been evaluated by a Scientific Technical Committee composed of leading representatives of the world of viticulture, enology, the scientific community and some of the wine-growing companies associated with UIV (Unione Italiana Vini).

This is a very important recognition for the company as the winner product is unique in the bottling line industry. The GAI Mod.45012 empty bottle selection machine is in fact upstream of the process, before the tout court bottling phase - comments Ing. Guglielmo Gai - developed by our R & D department, in synergy with some customers who have been asked to help us deal with the practical problems encountered in the production process, the selector is a challenging, but really exciting and rewarding job. This recognition encourages us to continue on the road to technological research, which has always been our philosophy. SIMEI @ drinktec has been the best showcase for us to illustrate this new selector for all operators".

Empty bottle selecting machine

This empty bottle selector verifies the internal pressure resistance, the presence of occlusal defects in the neck, and any microswitches.

Selector 45012 allows 100% empty bottles to be checked, ensuring that only the perfect ones can reach the filling phase by limiting the post-break breaking stoppage for glass fragments screening and removal.

Reduced product losses due to breakage in filling and breakage in subsequent phases.
