There are a variety of Wine Industry related test system we provide: Listed below you will find brief explanations to these systems with links to more information and knowledgable contacts.
Cork Extraction System
Mecmesin Vortex Motorized Torque Test System The cork pull test system consists of:
Proper cork fit is critical. In addition to protecting the product from leaking during shipment and storage, wine bottlers want a user-friendly package to open. Testing the peak cork extraction force verifies the required fit.
Here's an example application of a cork pull test system:

Bottling Line Force checking system
Mecmesin AFG force gauge The Mecmesin AFG force gauge and remote load cell are perfect for testing top and side loads of your screw top bottling line.

Peak readings for both tension and compression are accurately captured with a 5000Hz internal sampling rate. Outstanding Accuracy of 0.1%

Versatile Display

The AFG includes advanced display features: Peak readings in both tension and compression can be displayed while monitoring the live reading. The display readout can be inverted with the touch of a button. A load-bar graph on the display provides a quick visual representation of applied load to assist in preventing overload. The display is backlit for easy reading in dimly lit areas.

Smart Sensor Recognition

The AFG can be connected to external Smart Force and Torque Sensors. When connected, these sensors are automatically recognized, requiring no additional calibration or setup. To test top load of your bottling line, an external load cell is needed.

Communication with external devices

With configurable communication protocols and outputs including RS-232, Analog and Mitotoyo for bi-directional data transfer, the AFG can control data loggers and test stands.

Vineyard Wire tension check system

The Fastest Cable Tension Meter
The Dillon Quick-Check can be placed on a cable, measure its tension, and removed in under five seconds! There are no complex lookup tables, no conversion charts. The operator can quickly select from 15 different wire sizes and types stored in Quick-Check’s memory. The Check-Tensioning mode graphically displays the current and target tensions for extremely quick setting of line tension. Even the infrequent battery changes are quick.
