Used CFT can filling line for soft drinks – 12,000 cans per hour
Introduction and Production Capacity The Used CFT can filling line for
soft drinks – 12,000 cans per hour delivers a complete solution
for filling carbonated beverages in aluminum cans. CFT designed the
line in 2017 and configured it to handle two Slim formats, which are
commonly used in the soft drink industry. Specifically, the system
processes up to 12,000 cans per hour, meeting the output requirements
of medium-scale industrial facilities. As of 30/06/2025, the owner
will release the line for sale. Therefore, this represents a valuable
opportunity for facilities seeking to expand their production
capacity. Depalletizing and Initial Inspection Initially, the CFT
depalletizer automatically separates empty cans and feeds them into
the production flow. Then, a HEUFT inspection unit checks each
container for visual defects and dimensional non-conformities. As a
result, the system ensures that only clean, undamaged cans move
forward for rinsing. In addition, this early inspection step reduces
the risk of line stoppages later in the process. Can Conveyance and
Rinsing Next, CFT cable conveyors transport the accepted cans to a
dual-channel rinser. The CFT rinser cleans the interior of each can
using pressurized water jets or sterile air. Consequently, the machine
maintains hygiene standards in line with food and beverage
regulations. Moreover, the dual-channel configuration improves
throughput while reducing contamination risks. Notably, this section
plays a key role in maintaining microbiological safety. Filling After
rinsing, a CFT monoblock handles the filling and seaming stages with
12 filling valves and 4 seaming heads. The machine processes cans of
150 ml and 330 ml efficiently. It also controls pressure and
temperature precisely to prevent COâ loss during the filling of
carbonated soft drinks. Furthermore, this phase supports both
performance and product integrity. In effect, it ensures consistent
quality in high-speed conditions. Full Can Inspection and Rejection
Following the filling stage, another HEUFT unit inspects the filled
cans to verify fill levels, seal integrity, and the absence of leaks.
When it detects non-compliant cans, an automated HEUFT rejection
module removes them from the line. As such, this step protects the
quality of downstream operations. Additionally, it avoids the
unnecessary packaging of defective units. Overall, the system
minimizes waste and downtime. Conveyance and Packaging Subsequently,
CFT conveyors move the approved cans to an SMI shrink wrap packer. The
packer forms bundles in several formats: 4×3 (12 cans),
6×4 (24 cans), and 2x2x3 (12 cans). In this way, the flexible
configuration supports various packaging and distribution strategies.
Besides improving logistics, this packaging versatility allows rapid
changeovers between product sizes. Accordingly, the line adapts well
to diverse market demands. Mixing, Carbonation, and Marking Before
filling, a CFT mixer/carbonator prepares the product by adjusting the
syrup-to-water ratio and saturating the liquid with COâ.
Therefore, the system ensures consistency in flavor and carbonation
levels. Moreover, the line includes a Videojet inkjet printer that
marks each can with production data, batch codes, or expiry dates. In
turn, this traceability feature enhances safety, quality control, and
compliance. Availability and Additional Information Finally, the
