| Filling method | Isobaric for beer and CSD, volumetric for juice and tea |
| Output range | Up to 25,000 CPH |
| Can sizes | 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.
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.
Nitrogen dosers play a vital role in this process, ensuring consistent CO2 levels that enhance the flavor and quality of the beverages.
| 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 |
For the same duty in another bottle format, the Aluminum Can Filling Machine for Beer, Carbonated Soft Drink is specified separately.
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.
Sizing for this duty runs through the Aluminum Can Filling Machine for Hotfill Juice and Tea, where the valve count is set out.
A heated product path, a fill temperature control loop and a cooling tunnel after seaming. The can itself tolerates the heat; the lining and the product do not always. The temperature window belongs to the product specification.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How Aluminum Can Fillers Maintain Beverage Quality.
300 cans per minute. Divide CPH by 60. The seamer, the filler and the packer all have to carry that number, so the line rating is the lowest of the three.
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.
At a fixed interval during production, by tear-down and measurement, plus a check after every seamer adjustment. The interval is set by the plant quality plan; the point is that it is measured, not inspected by eye.
Yes, at the same filler, because the fill volume per cycle is smaller. The seamer and the packer still have to carry the higher can rate, which is why the line rating is set on cans per hour, not litres.
