About Used Beer Canning Lines
Used beer canning lines include depalletizers, can rinsers, isobaric filler-seamer monoblocks, tunnel pasteurizers, date coders and packaging units such as multipackers and tray packers. They are increasingly requested by craft breweries and industrial producers switching to cans.
Key points to check on a used beer canning line: nominal cans per minute, filling technology (counter-pressure with CO2 pre-flushing is standard for beer), seamer heads number and format compatibility (sleek, standard, slim cans in 250-568 ml). Always request the last production report and seam quality data.
Frequently asked questions
Are used beer canning lines suitable for craft breweries?
Yes. Compact used filler-seamer monoblocks starting from about 20 to 60 cans per minute are commonly used by craft breweries.
What is the difference between a filler and a seamer on a canning line?
The filler doses beer into the cans under counter-pressure; the seamer immediately closes the can with the lid to preserve carbonation and prevent oxygen pickup.
