Canning explained.
Filling with Counter Pressure isn’t easy. Codi Canning Systems have it sorted. We pressurise our cans to 3.5Bar – this ensures that CO2 remains in solution and your beverage is cradled and hugged by a nice big dose of PRESSURE. This pressure keeps your carbonated beverage calm, and stable.
Next – fill valves open and guess what happens!!!??? Bloody nothing! Haha!
Nothing happens because the filler bowl is pressurised to a slightly lower pressure, and you remember high school right?
So in order to make magic happen, CO2 is slowly release from the can, allowing your stable and loved product to fill the cans quickly but controllably.
Some more cool automated computer controlled stuff happens to provide the finishing touches like foam on product – but at the end of a very short but intense process we have high quality fills.
It is important to understand 2 things;
1) if a canning line pressurises cans to only slightly above FV or BBT pressure – it IS NOT COUNTER PRESSURE. It is a less stable form, that has the same problems as gravity filling, and often worse.
2) If a canning line doesn’t pressurise cans at all…. well… we all know those days are behind us…
We have five Codi Canning lines, that can fill all Australian can sizes. We service all of Australia, get in touch and tell us about your product!
