The components
Your benefits
Double flexibility
The Craftmate C is your specialist for can filling in the low output range and it is flexible at the same time: It fills both beer and carbonated beverages in different can sizes and shapes.
Innovative technology
The electropneumatically-controlled filling valves work very reliably and thanks to the inductive flow meter, the fill quantity can be determined up to the point. Pressing-on and pressurisation of the cans is performed via a double-acting cylinder and a differential pressure chamber.
Easy to clean
An inclined table top and manually inserted CIP cups ensure easy machine cleaning.
Compact design
The product is fed to the machine via laterally-positioned buffer tanks and the valve manifold and control cabinet are right next to the filler. This way, the Craftmate C requires only very little space in the bottling hall.
Low transport costs
Of course, these compact dimensions have plus factors when it comes to the transport: Since the entire machine can be placed in one sea freight container, the costs for shipment are accordingly low.
