Description

Used Complete CSD Can Bottling Line – 14,000 cans/hour – Overview

This second hand, complete CSD can bottling line is engineered for carbonated soft drink (CSD) beverage production and industrial packaging at up to 14,000 cans per hour on 250 ml format. The core of the line is an Ortmann Herbst isobaric can filler with 45 valves, paired with a Ferrum 706 6-head can seamer (can ends size 200). The scope includes depalletizing, can washing, filling and seaming, tunnel pasteurization, in-line inspection, coding, secondary packaging, palletizing, and end-of-line handling, providing a turnkey used bottling line solution.

Production Line Integration Capabilities

Upstream

• Depalletizing of empty cans (Frezart) and transfer to washing
• Dual can washers adapted for 250 ml format
• Syrup room with cooling, beverage filtration, and mixing (Nagema) for consistent syrup preparation
• Compressed air supply package (Kaeser) with booster and storage

Filling & Seaming

• Isobaric filling with 45-valve Ortmann Herbst filler ensures stable carbonation retention
• Ferrum 706 can seamer with 6 heads for reliable double seam integrity on 200 ends

Downstream

• Hermis tunnel pasteurizer for product stabilization
• Fill-level inspection and coding immediately post-pasteurization
• Kisters packaging machine for secondary packaging
• Keber palletizer and Sita stretch wrapper for end-of-line logistics
• Shrink-sleeve labeling system for blank cans (added flexibility for SKUs and private label)

Machine Condition & Maintenance History

• Used bottling line with components manufactured between 1980 and 2020
• Key monoblock components: filler (1980) and seamer (1982); notable upgrades include pasteurizer (2015) and coder (2020)
• More information and photos available upon request
• Maintenance records, manuals, and technical files can be provided subject to availability

Operational Performance & Versatility

• Designed for carbonated soft drinks; the isobaric filler supports consistent CO₂ retention and low dissolved oxygen pickup
• 200 end seaming capability across the Ferrum 706 platform
• Dual can washers, robust conveyors, and accumulation ensure steady flow at 14,000 cph
• Integrated shrink-sleeve label line broadens packaging options beyond pre-printed cans
• Suitable for beverage production environments seeking a reliable second hand canning solution

Installation Requirements & Site Preparation
