We recently purchased our first order of cans and we are currently canning our beer with a manual seamer. Can sells have been growing steadily and we are falling behind on production. We are also experiencing a higher rate of loss do to excess foam then we were expecting so we are now looking into getting an automated canning line in the 15 - 50 cpm area.
From doing some research on this site and the Internet I found these three caning systems.
Frusso - This company is out of Argentina. I emailed them about a week ago asking for specifics on price and speed (can per minute or hour) but they haven't gotten back to me yet....
Cask - Automated cannning line 30 cpm capacity. According to a posting on Probrewer this canning line costs approx. $80,000
Applied Bottling - They have two different models at 6 cmp and 30 cpm. I got a quote of $16,500 for the 6 cpm system but not the 30 cmp system. They also sell cans in smaller quantities (aprox 40,0000 instead of the 155,000 minimal order we already purchased).
Has anyone used one of these sytems? If so how have they worked? How was support when needed? Would you recommend the canning line and company?
Are there any other canning systems in the 15 - 50 cpm range that people know of?
Does anyone have a canning line they are looking to sell?
Cheers!
