9.3 Piston components for bottle positioning
The positioning system for the wine bottle provides three main
components: the pad which serves to create a correct adhesion of the
bottle to the positioning system, the spacer which serves to compensate
for variations in height of the bottles and can be stacked together up
to a maximum of 4 and can be removed completely if necessary, and
finally the cylinder head that is fixed to the pneumatic piston which is
appropriately controlled and moves up and down with a stroke of 50
mm. These parts together with the use of the spacer serve to ensure
that the neck of the bottle applies the correct pressure on the seal of
the dispenser to prevent leaks of gas (Nitrogen / Argon) and seal the
bottle for preservation.
This procedure must be performed by extracting the tube from the
machine and washing with common cleaning products designed for
food-handling equipment. Chap.
Sanitation
