The R&G Group, which includes brands such as Robino & Galandrino, Omar, Cames, and TS Packaging, is celebrating its 60th anniversary—a long journey that has led it to become a recognized name in the application of capsules and wire hoods.
“Robino & Galandrino’s technology,” the group explains, “has been refined over time: on the one hand, with new solutions developed and implemented to respond to and anticipate the demands of increasingly demanding markets, adding new expected functions along with quality and finishing accuracy; on the other, with continuous research in the design phase to maximize process efficiency and reliability.”
To these aspects, the constant demand for increasing production rates has also been added. The range of solutions offered by Robino & Galandrino meets all capsule distribution and application needs: rolling (for tin, poly-laminate, and aluminum capsules), heat-shrinking (PVC, PET), and sparkling wine capsule application.
These applications can combine multiple functions on the same machines, with production rates from 500 to 40,000 bottles per hour, and configurations that increasingly incorporate a mix of ergonomics, material care, innovation, and flexibility.
