How To Select A Canning System For Craft Beer

The canned craft beer is very popular now so every craft brewery likes to add a canning system for their craft beer. But it is a difficult thing for breweries owners to select a correct and high efficient canning system.

As a craft beer fan and canning system supplier, I would like to share some professional information to select a better canning system:

1) Filling valve: it is true counter pressure gravity filling valve or carbonated drink filling valve？Their structures and functions are very different so you have to distinguish them firstly. Here are two pictures:

2) DO (dissolved oxygen) pick up number: What’s the number? It should be good if the machine’s number can less than 40ppb.

3) Function: Does the machine has Pre-purge, Bubble-breaker and CO2 under-cover-gassing?

4) Lubrication way: Is there any centralized lubrication? Automatic one should be better.

5) CIP cleaning: CIP cup? Recycling pipe?

6) Beer bowl liquid level control way: Floater or automatic electrical control?

7) References: Running system in China breweries, U.S breweries, etc,

Hope my ideas can help you get an ideal canning system for your beer. Cheers!!!
