Learn more about canning machines

What types of beverages can be canned using a canning machine?

Canning machines are suitable for preserving a wide range of beverages, including beer, cocktails, ready-to-drink, wine, cider, kombucha, cold brew and other craft beverages. The type of canner and canning process you choose will depend on the specific beverage you’re working with.

 

How long does the industrial canning process take?

The duration of the industrial canning process varies depending on several factors, including the type of beverage being canned, the can filling technology used, the production capacity of the canning machine, and the scale of the operation.

In general, industrial canning machines are designed for high-speed production, with filling rates often measured in cans per minute (CPM) or cans per hour (CPH). Industrial canning machines can range from around 15 CPM for smaller-scale operations to over 1,000 CPM for large-scale, high-capacity machines.

The entire canning process, including preparation, filling, sealing, and post-processing (such as labeling, packaging, and quality control), may take several minutes to complete. However, the actual time required will depend on the efficiency of the specific canning system and the production setup.

 

What is the difference between an atmospheric canning machine and a counter pressure canning machine?

Atmospheric canning machines and counter pressure canning machines are two types of filling methods used in canning machines to preserve beverages. Each method has its advantages and specific applications, depending on the type of beverage being canned and the desired quality preservation.

Atmospheric canning machine

  • Filling Method: In an atmospheric canning machine, the cans are filled at atmospheric pressure, meaning the pressure inside the can is equal to the pressure outside the can.
  • Suitable for: Non-carbonated or low-carbonation beverages that do not require high pressure for filling, such as juices, teas, and still water.
  • Cost and Complexity: Generally less expensive and simpler to operate compared to counter pressure canning machines.
  • Quality and Shelf Life: Atmospheric canning machines may not preserve the quality and shelf life of the product as effectively as counter pressure canning machines, especially for carbonated beverages.

Counter pressure canning machine

  • Filling Method: Counter pressure canning machines fill cans under pressure, creating a pressurized environment inside the can that helps maintain the carbonation level and minimize oxygen exposure during the filling process.
  • Suitable for: Carbonated beverages that require pressure to maintain their carbonation and quality, such as beer, soda, and sparkling water.
  • Cost and Complexity: Typically more expensive and complex to operate than atmospheric canning machines due to the pressure control mechanisms.
  • Quality and Shelf Life: Counter pressure canning machines offer superior preservation of product quality and extended shelf life, as they minimize oxidation and maintain carbonation levels in the beverages.

 

How much do canning machines cost?

The cost of canning machines varies greatly depending on factors such as the specific model, filling method, production capacity, and additional features. While it’s difficult to provide an exact price without more information, here is a general price range for canning machines:

Entry-level canning machines

These compact machines, suitable for small-scale operations or startups, typically cost between $10,000 and $30,000.

Mid-range canning machines

Designed for larger-scale production and offering increased efficiency, mid-range machines may cost anywhere between $30,000 and $100,000.

High-end canning machines

Advanced machines with features such as counter pressure filling and higher production capacities can cost upwards of $100,000 to $300,000 or more.

It is essential to consider factors such as the specific requirements of your production process, the type of beverages you produce, and your budget when selecting a canning machine. It’s also important to factor in costs associated with installation, maintenance, and any necessary modifications to your production space. 

 

What are the typical production rates of canning machines?

Canning machines’ production rates are often measured in cans per minute (CPM) or cans per hour (CPH). Smaller-scale machines may have a rate of around 10-30 CPM, while larger, more advanced machines can reach rates of 100 CPM or more. Mobile Canning services may also be available, providing on-site canning solutions for craft beverage makers.

 

Are there any special considerations for canning beer and other carbonated beverages?

When canning beer or other carbonated beverages, it’s crucial to use a counter pressure filling method to maintain the beverage’s quality, carbonation, and shelf life. Additionally, proper sanitation of cans and canning equipment is essential to prevent contamination and preserve beer quality.

 

Why is seaming important in the canning process?

Achieving a consistently good seam is crucial to preserve the quality of your beverage after the filler. The seamer is where cans receive their lid and seal. Seaming a can requires two operations: the first rolls the lid over and under the lip of the can, and the second pounds the metal into place. 

When selecting a canning machine, it’s important to choose an all-mechanical seamer instead of a pneumatic-powered seamer to ensure that critical seaming operations are performed consistently, resulting in more reliable seals and lower air consumption. 

The speed of the seamer is also a significant feature as it must surpass the filler’s speed to reduce the amount of time the beverage is exposed to the atmosphere and absorbing DO. Establishing a routine to check the can seams every 45 minutes will aid in catching any bad seams before distributing to the masses.
