Specifications of the Cannular Full Auto Single Lane Canning

Compact Size

This canning machine is approximately the size of a standard pallet, allowing it to be stored in pallet racking or easily moved around.

Hardened Chuck

The chucks on this machine are made from Cr12MoV, coated with titanium. This grade provides superior hardness, allowing it to last extremely long without needing to adjust the machine or replace the chuck. The hardness is 58-62 dH.

Setup and Washdown

Given the compact size of the machine, cleaning is extremely simple.

The entire operating deck can be washed down with a hose, and the chassis is equipped with an oversized drip tray to catch stray drips from the filling process. The deck can also be connected to waste, enabling cleaning in place (CIP). All wet areas are made from nylon, Teflon, and 304 stainless steel.

Maintenance

Built with European pneumatic components, electronic controllers, flow sensors, and industrial-grade PLC, you can be confident that all components are designed to last and handle millions of cans before needing an overhaul.

We recommend checking tolerances on the rollers and chuck every 100,000 cans and lubricating some pneumatic components. Fortunately, all spare parts are supplied by KegLand, ensuring that you won't face issues when replacements are required. No major overhauls will be necessary until well over one million cans have been processed by this machine, and even when that time comes, maintenance procedures remain relatively straightforward.

Production

This canning line can package up to 15 cans per minute*

*Based on the industry standard for a single filling head. Using 330ml cans, low carbonation levels, low temperatures, and each module of the machine optimized to the highest level.

Low Labor Cost

Since this machine is relatively simple to operate, a single operator can load cans and lids into the respective hoppers and also package cans from the machine's output. Larger, more complex machines often require multiple operators, making this labor-efficient for its small size.

Dissolved Oxygen (DO)

Dissolved oxygen is a crucial factor for beer shelf life. This machine can achieve levels below 40 ppb during tests we have conducted, and most machine manufacturers quote similar DO levels. The difference in DO largely depends on the operator rather than the machine itself, so how you run the machine will make most of the difference. Key factors affecting your DO include:

• Eliminating Drafts: If there are drafts in the filling area, the protective CO2 layer in the can will be blown away.

• Pre-Fill Purge: This makes a substantial difference. It is important to configure at least a few seconds of purge time so the can is somewhat purged of oxygen before filling. This can be done in the PLC controller.

• Time Between Fill and Seam: With a single-head filler, this is a factor that significantly improves results. As you can imagine, with a multi-head filler that typically fills several cans simultaneously, the last can is exposed to more oxygen than the first can. With this single-head model, minimizing the time between filling and seaming through pneumatic movements is all you need to adjust to optimize this.

• Capping on Foam: This is a very important factor. Allowing the correct fill ensures that, when the cap is placed on the foam, oxygen is evacuated from under the lid space. This is by far the most important factor.

Let's face it. Canning is the best way to package beer. The advantages over bottles are obvious.

Cans are more environmentally friendly compared to glass. You can achieve lower dissolved oxygen (DO), making your packaged product fresher and longer-lasting. A full hermetic seal means absolutely zero oxygen ingress.

Cans are completely impervious to light. And best of all, they have style. With the right label, your product will truly stand out.

Finally, if you're serious about quality, environmental impact, convenience, and style, cans are the way to go. These reasons are why the entire industry is moving towards canning.

Since their launch in 2019, Cannular canning machines have become the most popular ever manufactured. They are sold worldwide, including in America, Europe, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. On the back of this success, KegLand has enhanced the Cannular brand by launching a semi-automatic machine and is now delighted to offer the Cannular Full Auto Single Lane Canning Line.

In summary, the Cannular range relies on fundamentally simple processes that, combined with modern engineering, offer an elegantly simple solution for small-scale packaging.
