Can Filling and Seaming machines, also known as Can Fill and Seam Blocks normally comprise two integrated packaging machines namely a can filler and a can seamer. Fill and Seam machines can process a wide range of products and can formats and can also be equipped with product recovery and recirculation for hot filling that ensures constant product temperature, even during downtime.

Our automatic Fill and Seam Monoblock counter-pressure canning machines are intelligently designed to provide precision rinsing, filling, and hermetic sealing to cans using double- or triple seal processes.

Empty cans are individually fed into the filler station where a differential pressure chamber helps to carefully center each can in its optimal position to preserve container pressure.

After pre-flushing has taken place in a separate CO2 chamber with independent pressure adjustment, a pneumatic filling valve automatically lowers onto the cans and an inductive flow meter checks the quality and quantity of inflowing liquid.

The filling valve closes once the specified filling volume has been reached, whereafter the decompression process can begin.

Sensitive beverages that require hot filling utilizes a recirculation system to ensure consistent temperatures as the product is recollected in a special dedicated tank and recirculated into the processing system. In this system, the filler is cleaned and sanitized in a closed loop using false cans assembled under the filling valves and all internal areas in contact with the product are sanitized during the CIP.

Once cans are filled, they are conveyed by a discharge turret and chain towards the can seamer where a revolving lifter plate then raises each can up to the seaming rollers. Here, can lids, also known as ends comprising paper, tin, Aluminium, PET, plastic, or even glass are applied to the can body in three stages, namely compression, first roller operation, and second roller operation to ensure a reliable, airtight seam every time.

After the seaming operation has been completed, a cam-driven knockout pad releases the seamed cans from their respective chucks before they are conveyed down the line for final boxing and dispatching.
