Commercial Can Juice Filling Line: Engineering High-Speed Production
How Modern Can Filling Lines Minimize Product Waste
A high-performance line focuses on one thing: yield. By using PLC-controlled sensors, these machines ensure every can hits the exact fill level without spills or foam-over. This is critical when handling expensive fruit concentrates or organic juices.
The Mechanical Workflow: From Empty Can to Sealed Product
We’ve engineered our lines to follow a strict mechanical path that prioritizes hygiene and speed:
- Sanitary Rinsing: Inverted cans receive a high-pressure blast of deionized water to clear debris before they reach the filling station.
- Drip-Free Filling: We utilize flow-meter or piston filling technology depending on your juice viscosity. This allows the line to process thick pulp or clear liquids with zero clogging.
- Double-Seam Technology: The seamer uses high-hardness rollers to create a hermetic seal. This mechanical bond is what protects your juice from oxidation for 12+ months.
Critical Specs: SUS304/316L and Smart Controls
We don’t cut corners on materials. Every part in contact with the juice uses Food-Grade SUS316L stainless steel to prevent corrosion from natural fruit acids. The entire line runs via a Siemens PLC interface, giving your operators real-time data on output speed and system health.
Why Precision Seaming Matters
A “sealed” can isn’t always an “airtight” can. Our seaming stations undergo rigorous testing to ensure the double-seam dimensions meet international safety standards. This prevents “leakers” and ensures your brand reputation remains intact during long-distance shipping.

Technical FAQ
Can this line handle different can diameters?
Yes. By replacing the star-wheels and adjusting the conveyor height, you can switch between standard 330ml cans and slim 250ml cans. Most customers complete this changeover in under an hour.
What about juice with fibers or large pulp?
We equip these lines with specialized pulp-filling nozzles. These valves feature a larger bore and a “clean-cut” shut-off to prevent fibers from interfering with the seal.
How do you handle oxygen removal?
We integrate a liquid nitrogen dosing system right before the seamer. The nitrogen displaces the oxygen in the headspace, which is vital for preserving the color and vitamin content of the juice.
The Bottom Line
Investing in a professional can juice filling line is about more than just speed—it’s about protecting your juice’s quality from the tank to the consumer. MG machinery provides the reliability needed to scale your production without the constant headache of downtime or seal failures.
