In another preferred embodiment, the adhesive is suitable for food contact; even more preferably, the adhesive may be hot glue or hot melt adhesive, particularly Koramelt 316™.
- According to the invention, the polymeric sealant and the adhesive are of the same material.
- In another embodiment of the described metallic screw cap, the diameter of the cylindrical cork layer may be substantially equal, preferably equal to, the inner surface of the top end of said cap.
- In another embodiment of the described metallic screw cap, the cork section with truncated cone shape or the cylindrical cork layer of said cap may comprise agglomerated cork in cork granules with a particle size distribution between 0.2 - 5 mm. The determination of the particle size distribution can be obtained by mechanical screening, for example by the method described in NP 115:1994 (3rd Ed.).

- In another embodiment of the described metallic screw cap, the cap further comprises decorations or coatings, namely colors and/or insertion of informative or decorative elements. In even another embodiment, the cap part made of cork can further comprise decorations, namely colors and/or insertion of informative or decorative elements.
- In another embodiment of the described metallic screw cap, it may comprise aluminum, among other metallic materials.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a bottle that comprises any of the described metallic screw caps, preferably a bottle that comprises liquid, in particular wine, spirit drinks, sparkling wine, beer and others.
- Thus, the present embodiment is also useful to create the concept of an obturator composed of a stopper and cap, simultaneously conferring better seal and decoration of the container's neck.
- This embodiment finds application in glass containers, preferably containing potable liquids such as wine, among others.
- One of the objectives of the metallic screw cap is to increase the sealing capacity of the cap, preferably made of aluminum with screw, making it resistant to variations and large thermal amplitudes. With this technique, concretely it is intended to solve the problem of sporadic oxidation of wine with cork stopper and give the aluminum screw cap a new attribute, favoring micro oxygenation, allowing the positive evolution of wine, namely the red, whilst extending the lifetime in the container.
- The metallic material cap with cork stopper allows increasing the lifetime of certain potable liquids in the container, such as wine, as compared to metallic material cap with screw commonly known as "screwcap", because of the cork's natural properties.
- Being the cork a natural and biodegradable product, once used with the metallic material cap it immediately promotes the following advantages:
- Improves carbon footprint of both manufacturer and bottler;
- Transfers to this cap the natural properties of cork, allowing volumetric dilations of the wine within the container during the storage period and particularly transport. This process also promotes the positive development of wines, particularly reds;
- Ensures perfect sealing of the container during transport and storage.
- Following, an embodiment of the invention of described metallic screw cap with cork is presented.
- The cap now shown is comprised of a metallic material cap, preferably aluminum, in conjunction with a stopper made of cork or cork agglomerate (section with truncated cone shape), preferably in the shape of cork micro surfacing, having a particle size distribution of the granules between 0.5 to 4 mm, and both connected through a suitable adhesive for contact with food, in particular KORAMELT 316™.
- The described cap also has the ability to be opened and closed multiple times.
- The manufacture of this type of container cap comprises the following steps:
- Preparation of metallic material, which includes the following steps:
- stamping of metallic material;
- stretching of metal material;
- it may optionally involve a decoration step of the metallic material used;
- the opening of bridges and strengthening rings;
- Preparation of cork, which comprises the following steps:
- Preparation of cork granules by means of reduction of the particle size distribution between 0.2 and 5 mm;
- Extrusion and molding of obtained agglomerate;
- Surface treatments to the cork's surface.
- Surface treatments applied to the stopper are intended to increase the ease of insertion and extraction of this same component of the container's neck. An example is the food innocuous silicone based treatments to facilitate insertion and extraction of the cap.
- The junction of the stopper with the metal component may be made by the following steps:
- Guidance and feeding of the metal component;
- Guidance and feeding of the stopper;
- Placement of adhesive on the metallic component;
- Placement of the stopper into the metallic component.
- The preparation of the cap ends here, the remaining operations may be performed at the bottler, particularly with the following steps:
- The cap is then placed on the top of the neck;
- A pressure is applied on the top of the cap by the capper;
- The stopper slides into the interior of the bottle, adopting the diameter of the neck;
- Molding of the top of the cap is made;
- The cap is screwed to the glass;
- An adjustment of the metallic material with the lower part of the neck is made.
- Processing of this cap implies that during the encapsulation/corking, the stopper is to be pressed into the container's neck and then molded to the upper part by virtue of the capper's presser foot, which exerts a force of between 150 and 250 Kg of pressure on the upper part and between 5 and 15 Kg on the side rollers. Thus, a tight seal is obtained due to the reaction force of the section with truncated cone shape against the wall of the container's neck as well as the force exerted by the aluminum in the stopper throughout the life of the assembly. This cap still features the ability of being reusable thus providing the stopper a further practical character.
- The manufacture of this type of container cap comprises the following steps:
- Preparation of metallic material, which includes the following steps:
- stamping the metallic material;
- stretching the metallic material;
- it may optionally involve a decoration step of the metallic material used;
- the opening of bridges and strengthening rings;
- Preparation of the cork, which comprises the following steps:
- Preparation of cork granules by means of reduction of the particle size distribution to between 0.2 and 5 mm, in another embodiment the particle size distribution is between 0.5 and 2 mm;
- Extrusion and molding of the obtained agglomerate;
- Surface treatments to the cork's surface.
- The cap is then placed on the top of the neck;
- A pressure is applied on the top of the cap by the capper;
- The stopper slides into the interior of the bottle, adopting the diameter of the neck;
- Molding of the top of the cap is made;
- The cap is screwed to the glass;
- An adjustment of the metallic material with the lower part of the neck is made.
- Surface treatments applied to the stopper are intended to increase the ease of insertion and extraction of this same component of the container's neck. One example is the food innocuous silicone based treatments to facilitate insertion and extraction of the cap.
- Thus, the described metallic screw cap improves the sealing properties as well as oxygen transfer and maturation. Compared with the prior art, it thus becomes possible a double seal on the upper part and side of the container, also taking advantage of the natural properties of micro oxygenation of the cork.
- The disclosed metallic screw cap will specifically benefit all products requiring consistent sealing, as well as micro oxygenation during the storage period, for example in the case of red wines.
