| Valve type | Isobaric for beer and CSD, volumetric for juice and tea |
| Capacity range | Up to 25,000 CPH |
| Can format | Standard 250, 330 and 500 ml |
| Seaming | Roller seamer integrated with the filler |
| Options | Hot fill for juice and tea, nitrogen dosing |
| Key control | Fill level, seam tightness, dissolved oxygen |
A can line is counted in cans per hour because the container is the unit the seamer closes. CPH and BPH cannot be converted without the fill volume, and the downstream packer is sized in cases per hour. Comparing a 24,000 CPH can line with a 24,000 BPH bottle line compares two different plants.
From precise temperature management to accurate volume filling and speed optimization, these machines offer a comprehensive solution for plant managers seeking to enhance their production processes.
A can is sealed by two rolling operations that fold the can flange and the end together. Seam thickness, seam height and overlap are checked by tear-down at a fixed interval, not by eye. A seam that looks right and measures wrong leaks three weeks later, in the customer warehouse rather than on your line.
| Product | Filling principle | Critical measurement |
|---|---|---|
| Beer | Isobaric, cold | Dissolved oxygen and seam tightness |
| CSD and soda | Isobaric, cold | CO2 retention and fill height |
| Juice and tea | Volumetric or hot fill | Fill temperature and seam integrity |
| Energy drinks | Isobaric or volumetric | Dissolved oxygen and closure |
Where this becomes a line rather than a single machine, the Aluminum Can Filling Machine for Hotfill Juice and Tea is the starting point.
Dissolved oxygen enters at three points: deaeration of the product, the filler bowl atmosphere, and the gap between fill and seam. Nitrogen dosing and a steam or CO2 tunnel at the seamer reduce the last one. For beer and juice, the dissolved oxygen in the finished can is the number to test, not the setting on the doser.
The key to successfully handling hot juice lies in the machine's ability to maintain the liquid at the optimal temperature to prevent spoilage or quality degradation.
Sizing for this duty runs through the Volumetric Aluminum Can Filling Machine for Hotfill Juice, where the valve count is set out.
Beer and CSD run isobaric, cold, under counter-pressure. Juice and tea often run hot fill or a volumetric fill with a downstream pasteuriser. The can is the same format; the filler, the valve set and the temperature control are not, so one can line rarely covers both without a second specification.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How to Maintain Aluminum Can Fillers for Optimal Performance.
Yes, with change parts for the filler, the seamer and the conveyor. Changeover time is the real cost. Two formats on one line normally means 40-90 minutes per switch and a lower production factor.
It is the oxygen left in the product after filling. It drives oxidation, off-flavour and haze. Beer and juice have tight limits, and the measurement belongs in the acceptance protocol, taken from the finished can.
It is common for beer, juice and some CSD, where headspace oxygen has to be pushed down. It is an option with a consumable cost, so it belongs in the utility and consumable schedule, not in the base price.
With change parts for the filler, the seamer and the conveyor, yes. The changeover is longer than a label change and is normally scheduled between campaigns.
