A counter pressure canning line is used to fill carbonated beverages into cans under pressure, maintaining equilibrium to prevent foaming and minimize dissolved oxygen pickup. The Willow 100CPM is designed for craft breweries and beverage producers who are ready to scale their packaging while maintaining consistent product quality.
This system is ideal for breweries upgrading from manual or atmospheric fillers to a reliable, automated solution. It delivers stable performance at 100 cans per minute (approximately 6,000 cans per hour), helping reduce product loss and improve packaging efficiency.
Featuring a 20-valve isobaric filling system and a 4-head seamer, the Willow 100CPM achieves ≥98% filling efficiency with precise and repeatable results. Built on a SUS304 stainless steel frame with Siemens PLC and HMI control, it provides a durable, scalable canning solution for growing beverage operations.

Let customers speak for us
from 6 reviewsI completed the second brew yesterday. The hop basket you made worked extremely well, and I was able to brew an IPA using homegrown hops.
Everything is functioning smoothly so far, and I think the brewing equipment is very well designed.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
We are very satisfied with our tanks with no issues to date. No tank sweating,poor fabrication, or weld failures. We have not had any unsatisfactory or sanitary issues. We are satisfied with the product and will continue to order from Redwood Stainless.
Redwood has always provided me with the superior service that one can only hope for.I have been working with them directly for 5 years and have never been disappointed. Their customer service is great...Their engineering is great...Their fabrication is great. They are truly an invaluable resource not to be overlooked.
Having bought and operated several brewing systems now for our production brewery and brewpubs,we are continually impressed with the quality and customer service provided by Redwood Stainless Systems. They're adaptable and very willing to work with you to make sure you get exactly what you're looking for at very competitive pricing
We couldn't be more impressed with the quality and service Wang and his team have provided us. Redwood Stainless engineers had no problem drawing and executing our custom tank design,which no one else would do. All of our tanks came outfitted with high quality fittings,valves,and carb stones. The welds are beautiful, and these fermenters are a real showpiece.
Redwood Stainless, formerly DYM, is a fantastic resource for brewing equipment of every kind. At Culmination we have sourced tanks from several manufactures domestic and abroad and the Redwood tanks consistently outperform every other brand. They have been the workhorses of our brewery for a decade!
