“The machine turns out compact, fast, and reliable!”
In the increasingly demanding landscape of wine bottling, operational flexibility has become a priority. Producers require solutions that combine high performance, reliability, and quick format changes, all within increasingly limited spaces. To meet these needs, Robino & Galandrino has developed a revolutionary technology: the alternate heads, a compact and modular system capable of integrating multiple closure functions within a single machine, without compromising on quality and speed.
A Mechanical Heart with Multiple Functions
The alternate heads technology allows the installation of various work groups — such as the distribution and rolling of polylaminate capsules, the heat shrinking of PVC capsules, and the application and wirehooding of sparkling wine capsules — on a single machine. Switching from one function to another occurs automatically or with simple adjustments, without the need to disassemble components or perform lengthy mechanical setups.
The intelligence of the system lies in its modular structure and the use of brushless motors and state-of-the-art electronic controls, which allow precise synchronization of operations. In practice, each head can operate independently or in sequence, depending on the format to be processed, ensuring extreme flexibility.

Versatility Without Compromise
One of the most appreciated strengths of this technology is the ability to work with a wide variety of closures: from traditional polylaminate capsules, which require precise rolling, to heat-shrinkable material capsules, and even Champagne capsules with wirehoods. All this without having to replace the machine or perform long and complex format changes. The result is a compact machine with versatility comparable to that of multiple dedicated lines.
Advantages for Production
For producers, this translates into greater production efficiency, a significant reduction in downtime, and considerable savings in terms of space and operating costs. Moreover, the ability to manage different productions internally with the same machine allows for quick responses to market demands and offers a more flexible service.
The Signature of Robino & Galandrino
Once again, Robino & Galandrino confirms its role as a pioneer in automation for the wine industry, offering engineering solutions that anticipate the sector’s needs. The alternate heads represent not only a technological response but a new production philosophy: compactness, intelligence, and operational freedom for modern, agile, and uncompromising production.
