Table top crowner

[RushingDuckBrew]

My brewery is almost all draft. We will be doing a small amount of bottling in the future, though, for one-off and special beers. I have a low-tech wine filler to do this, but I am having trouble finding a crowner that would match up with this. I'm not trying to have a full on bottling line. I just want a table top setup (probably pneumatic). It seems like all of the ones I've been finding on the internet are geared toward plastic screw off caps and not pry-offs like I'd be using. I'm sure there are a bunch of other small brewers out there who have similar setups. Anyone have any leads on what I'm looking for? Thanks!

GW Kent has a table top pneumatic capper.

How about a home-brew "Super Agata" style crown capper? You could fasten it to the table.

If you are going to go that route I recommend this one. It costs more but is WAY better built than any of the other homebrew bench cappers I have ever used...

Thanks guys for the responses. The GW Kent crowner is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't know how I haven't seen that on their site before.

Much cheaper, as I recall, than the Kent model...

This is what we use. Suggested to me by a previous thread. We put an appropriately sized rare earth magnet in the crowning head to hold the caps.

Works like a charm. Durable and easy. And comparatively cheap.

Pax.

I found the cheap ones don't last. I purchased a cheap drill press and converted it to a capper. It should last forever... I'm capping 200 - 300 bottles each time with my home made capper.
