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 CO₂ 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.
