PNEUMATIC SCALE | ANGELUS Craft Beverage CB50C Counter-Pressure Integrated Canning Line

About this machine

About this technology

The CB Series of integrated filler/seamers provide canning technology designed specifically for and scaled to the needs of craft beverage packaging.  Counter-pressure or isobarometric filling can require more knowledge of filling technology and packaging, as well as a slightly higher investment than open-air filling.  However, it allows for greater flexibility in product range, including hard seltzers, sparkling wines and higher carbonated beers.  Counter-pressure filling handles beverages from still to high carbonation products (up to 4.1 Vols of CO2), and is the preferred method for high production environments.  Counter-pressure filling also offers precise control over production variables by filling into a purged, sealed container, using easily-adjustable machine parameters (e.g. purge length, purge cycles, etc.) and is less impacted by temperature variations.  CO2 loss and DO pickup are minimized.   

Counter-pressure filling allows for the filling of highly-carbonated beverages (in excess of 2.7 Vols of CO2), and is the industry standard for high-speed rotary filling, in addition to still and lower carbonation products.  Equivalent pressure in the can and product tank prevents breakout.  The process is a gentle, gravity-only fill, with consistent head pressure, and the tank to fill valve distance does not change, regardless of container size.  Higher speed and greater flexibility of product are among the benefits of an isobarometric filling line. Working with a supplier who understands counter-pressure technology is critical.
