First production run of DIY canning line

This is the first production run of our in-house built can filler. Next step is to incorporate automatic can topper, can seamer and labeling machine. Our goal is to build a low cost, modular canning line that can be operated with minimal effort and manpower. Each component can be used separately ( filler, seamer and labeler ), or used as a fully automated system.

    Very cool! Can't wait to see your progress.

    Thanks! We will be posting more videos as we automate more of the system.

    Hey it's amazing, nice work. Could you help me, with the information of which brand/model/type of electrovalve for the beer flow are you using? I'm having troubles in that stage, some electrovalves generate turbulence and foam.

    Just wanna ask, even it is an old video, after you fill the can with your beer with CO2, can the pressure and gas maintained when you move it to the sealing machine? Thanks.

    Are you in production on the canning line? Looks great

    Are there any plans available?

    This is exactly what i want to build for my nano brewery here in the UK, are you using capacitance sensors to read the fill level through the foam? I guess this is a mega with some gas solenoids for the pneumatics and then 2 more for the CO2 and fill? Will you build these to sell on, or if not publish any plans / code to help others build a similar one? Great to see it can be done i'm a bit behind you have most of the parts now but haven't started coding mine.

    Right now, we are using optical sensors for the filling. We are developing pressure based sensors for better reliability. Once we have the final working plans, we will be building them using our in-house CNC. The can pusher and topper will be integrated into the filler. Any number of fill/purge heads can be built with minor modification. The coding and trial and error has definitely been the trickiest part. Thanks for your interest!

    You’re doing a great job with it. Didn’t consider optical. I guess pressure with a capillary tube will work and I think is what the pro machines use. The basic cask one just uses resistive sensing from what you can see on the videos. Coupled with 2 or 3 heads as you have here looks pretty much spot on if seaming with a manual machine like the mk16. Any idea what you’d build and sell a 3 head like this for I could be in the market for one, I can use my parts to build a keg washer instead. Matt

    Capacitance sensor couldn't work well.
