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.

Q: What is a counter pressure canning line used for?

A: A counter pressure canning line is used to fill carbonated beverages such as beer, cider, and soda into cans while maintaining pressure to preserve carbonation and reduce oxygen pickup.

Q: What is the production capacity of the Willow 100CPM?

A: The Willow 100CPM processes 100 cans per minute, equivalent to approximately 6,000 cans per hour.

Q: What filling technology does this system use?

A: It uses isobaric (counter pressure) filling, which maintains pressure balance between the tank and the can to ensure stable carbonation and consistent fill quality.

Q: Is the Willow 100CPM suitable for a growing craft brewery?

A: Yes. It is designed as an advanced small-scale system and is ideal for breweries scaling up from manual or entry-level canning solutions.

Q: What control system is used?

A: The system is equipped with Siemens PLC and HMI, along with Schneider variable frequency drives, ensuring precise and stable operation.

Q: What can sizes are supported?

A: Standard Φ66mm body cans with Φ59.52mm lids, with a height adjustment range of 60–180 mm.

Q: What are the power requirements?

A: Approximately 4 kW (5.4 hp) at AC380V, 3-phase.

Q: How is cleaning handled?

A: The system is designed for easy CIP integration, with a centralized lubrication system to reduce maintenance between production runs.

Q: Are financing options available?

A: Yes. Through our partnership with Brewery Finance, flexible leasing options are available for complete packaging line systems.
