High quality results on low speed R&D canning line

The latest project supplied by Enterprise Tondelli is a new canning facility rated at 1,500 cans per hour. Part of the challenge was to achieve a high quality result with such a low output that could then be scaled up in the future for high speed production.

Cans are delivered to the plant as full height empty can pallet stacks at 2.8 m high. Enterprise Tondelli supplied one of their high-level stainless steel can depalletisers that automatically remove interlayer boards and then sweeps the cans onto a high level conveyor. There are several all stainless steel models available from a simple unit rated at 1,500 cans per hour up to 17,000 cans per hour.

Mindful of their environmental footprint an ionised air can rinser was selected that obviously has no water consumption yet effectively cleans the cans with the ionised air causing any static held dust etc, to empty out.

A rotary can filler/seamer with double CO2 flushing before filling was used and achieves on average less than 50 ppb pick up. An important feature of the can filler was the collection of all CO2 exhausts. A special system was designed and fitted so that all gases could be discharged safely rather than into the factory ambient.

A new drying tunnel was also fitted post pasteuriser from Eurosistemi who also supplied the conveyors. The dryer with integral fan in sound deadening enclosure ensures that no water is left in the punt or on the sides of the cans.

The customer commented “We knew that it would be difficult to find a can filler/seamer of this small size that met our stringent performance criteria. That’s why we approached Enterprise Tondelli for this. We are very happy with the result and the low DO achieved.”

Enterprise Tondelli has been working in the industry since 1977 and supplying equipment in over 40 countries. The low speed canning project is just one of the latest projects by Enterprise that has ranged in scope from nitro beer canning, high speed wine bottling and turn key beer bottling.
