Corker - Pedestal

• A powerful floor corker, suitable for hobby or small-scale winery use.
• Make short work out of even the largest batches of wine.
• Easy to use with high quality corks and large enough to eliminate stooping down for each bottle, like on smaller units.
• Our most powerful floor corker, suitable for hobby or small-scale winery use.
• Long handle for lots of leverage, chrome plated brass iris jaws, locking bottle platform, and adjustable plunger depth.
• Will cork 375 ml, 750 ml, or 1.5 liter wine bottles.

Instructions

• Install the support leg(s) and handle if required.
• Clean the crimping jaws with a dry rag to remove any excess packaging lubrication.
• Make sure the handle is pushed all the way back. (It should be sticking straight up).
• Place an empty bottle (for practice) on the spring loaded bottle plate positioning the neck into the dimpled ring or bottle stop (depending on model) under the crimping jaw opening.
• Drop a cork into the round opening surrounded by the crimping jaws.
• Gently but firmly pull the handle down while steadying the corker with your foot if required.
• When the handle is almost completely down (about 95%) give it a firm finish.
• Raise the handle and remove the wine bottle and check the depth of the cork.
• Adjust the plunger nut on the inserting rod either up or down to adjust the depth of the cork into the bottle.
• Repeat until satisfied.
• Bottle your wine with properly sterilized and treated corks. (Synthetic corks can be sterilized by rinsing with a sterilizing solution; natural corks should be soaked in a warm (NOT HOT) sterilizing solution for 30 minutes, although they may be inserted dry with any floor corker).
• After use, clean crimping jaws when down with a dry rag and store in a dry place.
