Polylaminate capsules

Made in two pieces, the Elite polylaminated capsule offer many decorative and innovative possibilities. They are fully customizable and allow an easy application on any type of bottle. The capsules made from a compound of aluminium and polyethylene. With unlimited colours, shades, and many possibilities of finish, it brings character to the product. Various ‘’thickness’’ options are available, although Rivercap does not offer ‘’entry level’’ capsules as quality is forfeited when thickness approaches a minimum threshold, especially if application machines are not properly maintained (thicker capsules are more forgiving given increased malleability). In addition to the standard Elite capsule, RIVERCAP also offers various eco-friendly options;

• The R-derma® range is made using up to 60% recycled polyethylene. Reduction of the CO2 emissions is 18%, compared to a traditional polylam material
• A truly eco-friendly alternative, the ABSOLUTE GREEN LINE combines bio-based polyethylene (from sugar cane) with water based acrylic inks, replacing oil and solvents.

Crown caps & bidules (separate or incorporated)

Available in steel, stainless steel and aluminium, products are designed for the second fermentation of traditional method sparkling wines, as well as high-end beverages such as craft beers, wines, water, and soft drinks. Crown caps offer the experienced winemaker a valuable tool to calibrate oxygen entry during bottle ageing, an essential tool to achieve excellence. PE.DI is a world leader in the production of high quality PVC free crown seals made to protect sparkling wine and one of the two leading suppliers to premium MCC producers in South Africa. Inserts can be incorporated or the bidules may be offered separate. Separate bidules are more forgiving for bottle neck deviations and is better for wine left in the bottle for longer periods (innovative liners provide options to choose between various levels of permeability and to regulate CO2 loss and O2 entry, offering winemakers a precise tool). PE.DI crown caps meet the high-quality standards of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and FSSC 22000, are certified by BUREAU VERITAS and conform to the current international legal provisions regulating the manufacture of products to be used for packaging of food and beverages. Anti-counterfeiting protection (printing of the PE.DI logo inside the injected polyethylene liner) is included as a standard design feature.
