The CF25 is a fully automated canning line for filling and closing aluminium standard, sleek or slim beer and beverage cans. It comprises a five head filling gantry with pre-purge and post-fill gas injection and a single head motor driven mechanical can seamer. The control system and HMI use a Siemens S7-1200 PLC. For optimum hygienic integrity, the CF25 has been designed to meet the principles of the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG). It is manufactured fully from food grade 304 and 440C stainless steel and food grade plastic, with the most resistant grade 316 stainless steel used in contact areas. This ensures robustness and a high level of hygiene as well as the safe use of caustic and other cleaning agents. Lubrication uses a food grade grease.
Filling is fully adjustable by time; optimised by the inbuilt brite tank pressure monitor for extremely consistent filling levels. A central conveyor system with can guides provides smooth transfer of the cans, minimising sloshing and dissolved oxygen pick up. The height adjustable automated lid dispenser feeds into the seaming head and mechanically actuated cam driven seaming ensures superior hermetic seam integrity. Seaming rolls have double row angular contact sealed for life bearings and run on the vacuum hardened cam profiles. After the seaming station, the cans are rinsed and dried.
