In the production of high-quality cork stoppers, every detail matters. Homogeneity in the surface treatment of corks is essential: each unit must exhibit the same properties, ensuring consistent quality, batch after batch. This stage is crucial to guarantee that every cork delivers optimal performance, durability, and safety—from the bottle to the consumer.

What is surface treatment of corks?
Surface treatment of corks is a process applied to the surface of cork stoppers to enhance their properties and performance. This careful approach ensures that every cork within a batch meets the same quality standard, preventing unwanted variations that could compromise the overall quality of the cork stoppers.
The aim of this process is to optimise the performance and usability of corks in bottling, as well as in the preservation of wine and spirits.
FTIR in cork: technology at the service of quality
FTIR is an advanced technology that allows the analysis of surface treatment distribution across corks. With this equipment, we can:
- Compare different treatment methods
- Ensure uniformity across all batches
- Analyse each sample individually, guaranteeing precision and reliability
Simply put, FTIR ensures that every batch of cork stoppers meets the highest quality standards, even before reaching the bottle. Watch the full video to discover the impact this equipment has at J.A.Beira.
Benefits for the consumer
Careful surface treatment, combined with FTIR precision, directly benefits the final product:
- Consistent quality in every cork
- Optimal protection for wine or spirits
- Preservation of flavour, aroma, and authenticity
Integrating cutting-edge technology into cork stopper production, especially within Quality Control processes, ensures you receive more homogeneous products with superior performance, ideal for your beverage packaging.
Commitment to excellence
At J.A.Beira, every cork produced is the result of tradition, technology, and rigor. In 2023, we invested in FTIR technology, strengthening our commitment to innovation and ensuring that every batch undergoes precise and reliable quality control. Surface treatment, combined with this technology, ensures that our clients receive high-quality, consistent, and safe cork stoppers.
Conclusion
In summary, surface treatment ensures performance, durability, consistency, and homogeneity. FTIR technology analyses each cork, reinforcing Quality Control and guaranteeing safety and excellence in every batch. These practices are directly reflected in the final product, preserving the flavour, aroma, and authenticity of your beverage.
