KCAP USAGE CONDITIONS

Storage of the bottles capped with KCAP
For KCAP to function correctly, bottles must be stored vertically.

Even when the beverage is in contact with the valve, the excess pressure flows escapes due to the semipermeable membrane which blocks the liquid but allows the gas expulsion.

The one-directionality of the flow is guaranteed by the mechanical system integrated in the Bidule.

Bottling instructions

Automatic bottling machine
Assemble the caps manually
Insert the KCAPS in the bottling machine cap container and bottle normally
OR
If you encounter issues with the full automatic mode, only insert the crown caps in the bottling machine and cap the bottles manually with the plastic valve.

Please report any issues to us for further improvements.

Manual capping.
Cap the bottles as usual.

Shelf life

5 years of guaranteed valve functionality in normal storage conditions. Storing at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
