About Pneumatic Scale | Angelus - CB50C
The CB Series of integrated filler/seamers provides canning technology designed specifically for and scaled to the needs of craft beverage packaging. Counter-pressure or isobarometric filling can require more knowledge of filling technology and packaging, as well as a slightly higher investment than open-air filling. However, it allows for greater flexibility in product range, including hard seltzers, sparkling wines, and higher carbonated beers. Counter-pressure filling handles beverages from still to high carbonation products (up to 4.1 Vols of CO2) and is the preferred method for high production environments. Counter-pressure filling also offers precise control over production variables by filling into a purged, sealed container, using easily adjustable machine parameters (e.g., purge length, purge cycles, etc.), and is less impacted by temperature variations. CO2 loss and DO pickup are minimized.
Counter-pressure filling allows for the filling of highly carbonated beverages (in excess of 2.7 Vols of CO2), and is the industry standard for high-speed rotary filling, in addition to still and lower carbonation products. Equivalent pressure in the can and product tank prevents breakouts. The process is a gentle, gravity-only fill, with consistent head pressure, and the tank-to-fill valve distance does not change, regardless of container size. Higher speed and greater flexibility of the product are among the benefits of an isobarometric filling line. Working with a supplier who understands counter-pressure technology is critical.
