A bottling project in France can begin with a wine bottle, a filling requirement or an existing line that needs different packaging. Elitekno helps turn that brief into a machinery proposal. The equipment location, current condition and scope of any work are confirmed individually; this page does not represent a French office or local stock.
Wine bottles, closures and labels: define the format together
For still wine, specify the actual bottle drawing, fill volume and closure. For sparkling wine, add the product pressure and filling conditions; do not select a filler only from its stated bottles-per-hour output. A corker, capsuler and wirehood machine perform different operations, so list the finishing stages required rather than asking for a generic wine line.
For a labelling project, provide front and back label dimensions, substrate, application method and bottle geometry. An adhesive label, a glued paper label and a sleeve require different machinery. If you plan several wine formats, identify the format parts already supplied with the machine and the changes to be assessed.
Prepare the acquisition file for a used machine in France
INRS guidance addresses both conformity and the practical inspection of used equipment. Use it to prepare questions about the machine identity, applicable documentation, instructions, guarding and stop devices. The exact obligations and any work needed must be assessed for the actual equipment and transaction; a catalogue description alone does not establish conformity. See INRS guidance on acquiring and transferring machinery.
Compare the machine with the existing line
- Record conveyor direction, transfer height and the inlet and outlet of the surrounding machines.
- Provide the site’s utility data and the drawings needed to assess space and access.
- Separate the machine’s declared output from the target output of the connected line.
- List inspection, dismantling, loading, installation and operator support as separate activities to agree.
Explore equipment and manufacturers
Start with wine bottling equipment, used labelling machines or packaging equipment. You can also inspect the catalogue sections for Bertolaso, Kosme and Krones. These links identify manufacturers in the catalogue, not authorised representation or guaranteed stock in France.
Send a project brief to Elitekno
Include the installation location in France, beverage, formats, desired output, machine references and timing. The online catalogue shows only part of the opportunities we can assess. Supply, recipient, end use, applicable rules and requested services are checked for the individual proposal.

Do you own unused or decommissioned machinery?
Elitekno also helps owners plan the sale of bottling and packaging equipment they no longer use. A proposal can cover one machine, several units or a complete line. We assess the available information and agree the presentation and commercial terms before promoting suitable equipment through our portals and international channels.
You can start by asking for information or a preliminary assessment. Share the machine’s location, manufacturer, model and known condition; photographs and the planned decommissioning date help us understand the opportunity. If you have not set a price, the selling form lets you leave it blank and request an assessment.
Propose machinery or request an assessment → Ask for information first
The initial enquiry does not automatically publish a listing or commit you to a sale. The proposed transaction and any dismantling, packing, transport or other support are assessed and agreed individually.
