We’ve got some exciting news to share that’s sure to lift your spirits (pun intended).

IC Filling Systems is absolutely thrilled to unveil their latest collaboration with none other than the renowned Hovdenak Distillery in the picturesque landscapes of Iceland.

Picture this: Hakon Freyr Hovdenak, the dynamic CEO of Hovdenak Distillery, comes knocking at their door. He’s on a quest, not for the legendary Norse treasures, but for a state-of-the-art automatic capping unit. Why, you ask? Well, he’s got this fascinating array of spirit bottles, from cute 50ml miniatures to the more grandiose 750ml and 1000ml glass bottles. And he’s looking to jazz up their capping process, making it swifter, more efficient, and adaptable to their diverse bottle sizes and cap types.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. These bottles aren’t just sealed with any ordinary caps. They’re adorned with ROPP aluminium closures for the miniatures and a variety of stylish T-corks for the larger bottles. Talk about sophistication!

Meeting the bottling challenge

Never ones to back down from a challenge, they rolled up their sleeves and got to work. The result? An automatic single head capper and cap elevator that’s not just any machine — it’s a symphony of precision and efficiency. This beauty can seamlessly transition between the different bottle sizes and cap types, all while operating in full automatic mode. And get this: it can handle a whopping 2,800 bottles per hour!

So, the next time you’re sipping on a spirit from Hovdenak Distillery, take a moment to appreciate not just the drink, but also the cutting-edge technology that sealed that bottle. Cheers to innovation and the perfect cap!
