The CombiCork-i is a purpose-built tester to reliably and objectively measure the both the pull-out force and release torque when extracting a cork from a still wine or spirit bottle. The closure is extracted with a representative helical motion; combining twist and pull.
Its innovative bottle clamping design makes it quick and easy to carry out batch testing of capsulated 'bar-top' design corks and stoppers fitted to bottles in a wide range of sizes.
The CombiCork-i tester is expanded to extraction test capsulated corks, including ‘bar-top’ and ‘Altop’ varieties; universally used as spirit bottle closures. As spirits do not generate the internal pressure of a sparkling beverage, the stopper is not forced outwards by the pressure. This means that the extraction force to pull out the cork (measured in daN) is of equal relevance as the release torque (in N.m).
