Custom-designed fixtures
Bottle cradle and drip tray ensure bottles stay in the correct position and protect the system from spillage.

Measure the quality of your Champagne, sparkling and still wine corks with just one system

Designed in partnership with Oeneo Bouchage, one of the worlds leading cork manufacturers, the "Combi" Cork Extraction Tester performs two different tests;

  1. A torque based cork extraction test (Champagnes / sparkling wine corks and spirit bottle stoppers)
  2. A straightforward cork pull-out test (still wine corks)

This versatile system enables you to test;

  •  To the industry Champagne and sparkling wine standard
  •  Pull-out force to ISO standard 9727
  •  Natural, synthetic corks and spirit bottle stoppers
  •  Corks from different sized bottles

Compatible with Mecmesin's data acquisition software

The CombiCork extraction tester can be used in conjunction with Mecmesin's data acquisition software, enabling further evaluation of results.

Cork extraction force and peak torque measurement are taken simultaneouslyResults are shown clearly on the display with additional functions including; audible and visual alarms, memory up to 500 readings and option to export results for further evaluation.
Gripping the cork securely for extraction force and torque measurement is essentialCam-operated fixture jaws, used for cork extraction tests, are designed to hold the cork securely in place, without pinching it.
Secure gripping of the glass bottle is required for accurate extraction measurementThe bottle cradle uses a non-slip surface, ensuring bottles stay in the correct position.
Safety features for cork extraction testing include spillage considerationsThis system is designed to ensure protection from spillage, including a drip tray located beneath the test area, and is CE marked to European standards.

MultiTest-xt for pull testingMecmesin MultiTest-xt universal testers are designed for use directly within the manufacturing environment. The software controls the system, tracks the test sample, the batch and the operator, and captures the detail you require. It performs calculations on the stored results, and interfaces with SPC systems and other analytical packages. Minimal training is required, to begin quick, accurate and repeatable quality-conformance testing on the production line. With the press of a couple of buttons, sample throughput is maximised, while clear colour-coded pass/fail indicators show instant results. A MultiTest-xt system provides rapid feedback to the production line, reducing wastage and guaranteeing closure performance.

push button favourite testsTest selection includes push-button icons for instant access to your five most frequently used tests. You define the button images and the tests as required, while other tests are easy to find by touch menus. The MultiTest-xt range makes routine quality testing simple.

instant results and live graphingYou set the criteria: colour-coded pass/fail indicators then identify good and bad test samples. See each test progress as a ‘live event’ graph, in order to observe changes in sample performance, or view a batch in tabulated form for comparisons between each sample.

format and print PDF reportsUse a wide range of calculations to evaluate your test results, and to highlight points of interest. Create your own custom report templates or use those provided as standard. Alternatively, send raw data or calculated results for analysis and use in other systems or applications.

fully programmable testingYou can create and store unlimited test programs in your own library, developing and adapting them as your requirements change. A MultiTest-xt selected for its tensile testing capabilities is always tomorrow’s compression tester too.

And for security, password protected areas ensure everyday operators cannot accidentally change programs or settings.

export or transfer dataThe Emperor™-xt software behind each MultiTest-xt enables export of data direct to an SPC system, a remote PC, printer or datalogger, for further detailed analysis and reporting.
