The hand held heat shrink devices for PVC capsules have been in A.O. Wilson’s portfolio for many, many years. It is an inexpensive device and does a perfect job every time provided you have the right capsule for it. The table top unit for PVC capsules is a variation of the hand held version. However, this table top unit does not have a fan built in. Thermo-tunnel Heat shrink tunnel unit can be used in line on a bottling line. The unit is equipped with a stand for quick and easy mounting over a conveyor belt. The tunnel offers an adjustable temperature control. The electrics are 220V/60Hz/single phase.

A.O. Wilson’s spinner/applicator is designed for applying either polylam or tin capsules onto bottles. A rolling pin with bands applies pressure to capsules onto the bottles. A perfect “spin” is a result of a capsule that is sized perfectly for a specific bottle as well as a properly set spinning device. The rolling bands are adjustable for more or less pressure applied.

The pleater/crimper unit is used in the application of sparkling wine capsules, also called hoods. The unit consists of 2 different cups, 1 cup will pleat the capsule/hood and the second cup will crimp or fold the pleats flush against the bottle.
