Sidel has introduced the EvoFILL Can Compact, a high-performance and versatile filling solution tailored for premium beverage producers, including those in the beer and carbonated soft drink industries. This cutting-edge system is engineered to address the rising demand for high-quality, flexible filling solutions in the rapidly growing beverage industry.
EvoFILL Can Compact also meets the growing demand for flexibility, efficiency, and adaptability, particularly in low-to-medium speed production environments, with capabilities of up to 40,000 cans per hour. As per Global Data, Packaging Global Report, beverage production globally is on the rise, with alcoholic beverage volumes expected to reach 492.1 billion units, and non-alcoholic packaging is projected to hit 1.3 trillion units by 2028.
To know more about how the packaging industry has performed, read AL Circle's report titled, 'ALuminium in Packaging: Consumer Trends and Market Dynamics.'
Metal packaging which includes aluminium continues to play a vital role in both segments, driven by growing consumer demand for smaller, portable cans that combine convenience with recyclability. As the industry sees a surge in SKU variety, the demand for filling systems that can efficiently handle a wide range of product lines has become increasingly essential.
The system boasts a 'plug and play' design for straightforward installation, operation, and maintenance. Its compact layout integrates the seamer and process unit into one streamlined, space-saving block, effectively reducing its footprint to address space limitations and enhance the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Delivering high-precision filling with a standard deviation of just +/- 1ml for formats up to 500ml, the EvoFILL Can Compact ensures exceptional accuracy and product loss of less than 0.1 per cent. Its versatility supports both carbonated soft drinks (CSD) and hot fill applications, offering ambient temperature filling for CSD with minimal CO₂ loss (≤0.2 Vol).
Engineered for performance, the machine achieves an outstanding 98.5 per cent monoblock efficiency, enabling smooth, reliable operation with minimal downtime. Combining precision and dependability, it maximises productivity while ensuring consistently high beverage quality.
The EvoFILL Can Compact employs electropneumatic technology with magnetic flowmeters to deliver precise, efficient liquid measurements. Electronically controlled pneumatic valves ensure smooth, consistent flow for accurate and hygienic filling while reducing waste and boosting overall production efficiency. Seamlessly integrated with seamers mounted directly on the filler frame, the system enables immediate can sealing after filling. This close integration minimises handling time, accelerates the process, and enhances hygiene, resulting in a faster, more streamlined production line that consistently delivers high-quality beverages.
Changeovers are fast and efficient, taking under 25 minutes, thanks to the automatic height adjustment of the filling carousel. The system's integrated enclosure and roof—fitted with HEPA filters—are built directly into the frame, enhancing machine compactness while upholding strict hygiene standards. To support thorough, hands-free cleaning, automatic dummy caps are included, enabling fully automated cleaning cycles that ensure maximum product safety without manual intervention.
