Can Filler – Seamers

In 1983 we designed and supplied a soft drinks canning line for one of our customers at 1,200 cans per minute or 72,000 cans per hour…..

Since then canning has evolved significantly with the canning market increasing in size and also requirements. Therefore we have evolved our offering to be able to supply a variety of outputs and technologies.

50 cans per minute -1,200 cans per minute – at this speed we supply can fillers with static cans and electro pneumatic filling valves fitted with flow meters for very accurate filling. The can filler seamer also has some constructional features that assist with the hygiene and product integrity. One such feature is that the machine has fully automatic CIP cups, which means they are always correctly fitted and also do not become a hygiene issue in themselves when manually fitted. The base frame of the machine is minimised and fully inclined so that it is self-draining and easy to clean. The filler carousel has an open construction so that everything can be easily cleaned without the need to remove covers where dirt can build up behind. The individual flow meters are exposed along with the product piping, so there is just a support base and no vertical covering. The seamer is also a very open constructional style without lots of covers, that makes cleaning more difficult. As usual, the filler has a central filler bowl that has a CIP spray ball inside for cleaning, along with flow meters and electro pneumatic valve controls. This allows many product specific recipes to be entered, controlling the CO2 flushing times, filling volume, snifting phase, etc – all from the operator panel and whilst the machine is running, so the real impact can be evaluated. A high capacity, low level lid feeder makes the task of supplying lids to the filler very easy.

We have also suppled can filler/seamer suitable for cans with widgets inside too. The last one was in Ireland and part of a complete line of our supply with tunnel pasteuriser, depalletiser etc. We even supply can fillers with rotary can rinsers too for more effective cleaning…..

Standard machines sizes are 6,000, 12,000, 17,000, 23,000, 30,000 cans per hour etc

25-50 cans per minute – At the craft end of the market we supply a rotary counterpressure can filler with 6 filling valves and a single head seamer rated at just 1,500 cans per hour making it viable for either small batch runs or low speed requirements. The traditional mechanical valve option is very simple to operate and maintain with only basic engineering skills required and used on the two base models 6/1 and 12/1/1 with the larger model rated at 3,000 cans per hour. The compact unit has a second CO2 ring for can flushing before the bowl counter pressure is used reducing oxygen [pick up making it ideal for beer production. It can be used for both carbonated and still products and we have a number of UK references for these machines as well as complete small can filling lines.

Recent projects include 1,500 cph complete beer canning line in The Netherlands to carbonated juice can filler /seamer in the UK.

We can also supply a range of other can fillers for specific products such as still juices, syrups, condensed milk, mushrooms, and other food products.
