Filler/Seamer Groups for cans at Premier Foods

In 2002 and 2003, we successfully installed several high speed, 2 shot, filler/seamer groups operating at 600cpm at Premier Foods modern cannery at Long Sutton in Lincolnshire.

We also supplied 4 head rotary seamers for the handling of large capacity catering cans at 120cpm.  These lines usually consist of the volumetric filler, which fills the solids into containers, which is close-coupled to a vacuum filler for the liquid component, which in turn is close-coupled to the rotary head can seamer.

The units handle of a wide range of products, including pasta shapes, peas, beans and other pulses.

The high speed lines had fully integrated control systems, enabling one operator to control the entire filling and seaming operation.
