The RLV ISO-2 by RIZZOLIO is a semi-automatic isobaric bottle filler with closing station available in 2-nozzle, 4-nozzle, and 6-nozzle configurations. It is designed for precise filling of carbonated beverages, such as cider, beer, sparkling wine, and sparkling water; but can also be used for filling still (non-carbonated) liquid. The closing station can be outfitted for Crown Caps, ROPP Aluminum Caps, or "Mushroom" (Champagne-style) Corks and the corresponding hoppers(s). At the start of the filling cycle, a vacuum is applied to the bottles, creating negative pressure within. The bottles are then filled with gas (CO²), displacing the small amount of remaining oxygen and forcing it to the top of the bottle. A secondary vacuum is then applied to remove the top layer of oxygen before the bottles are filled. The filling nozzles draw product from the overhead filling tank, which is also pressurized with CO². The nozzles force product to flow down the interior sides of the bottles to minimize turbulence and reduce foam. Once the set fill level is reached, a quick shot of gas is added to the product to create a layer of carbonized foam that acts as a barrier to prevent oxygen from entering. The pressure within the bottle is stabilized and the vacuum seal between nozzles and bottle openings is released, allowing the user to move the bottles on to capping / corking.
The RLV ISO-2 is available with the three different closure options: Crown Cap, ROPP Aluminum Cap, or Champaigne Cork with Wire-Hood.

- The Crown Capper can be outfitted for either 26mm or 29mm caps and includes a feeding hopper for the caps. If desired, it can also be manufactured with an upgraded hopper than accommodates both cap diameters, and interchangeable feeding system & closing chuck that can be switched out to for the intended cap.
- The closing station for ROPP Aluminum Caps incudes a closing head that is manufactured and tuned for the end user's exact bottle and cap configuration. Caps are manually placed on top of the bottle before engaging the cosing station to form the caps around the threads of the bottle opening.
- For Champagne Corks, there are two separate components to the closing station—the first being the corker itself, and the second being the wire-hooder. Champagne corks are 25% wider and 30% more dense than "standard" corks for still wines, requiring more pressure from the jaws to condense the bottom-half of the cork for insertion into the bottle. The wire-hooder compresses the top-half of the cork down, giving the cork that "mushroom"-look while it winds the wires to secure it, and the cork beneath, in place.
