EASIER THAN IT SEEMS CANNING QUALITY PRODUCT THROUGH INNOVATION, DESIGN, AND ZIP-TIES. JESSE BROOKSTEIN
Avery Brewing Company opened in 1993. Bottling and kegging for 17 years. August, 2010 - We entered the world of canned craft beer. Four brands - Ellie’s, IPA, White Rascal, Joe’s.
PHASE I Interesting and intimidating transition. Main difference: Where we needed to focus our attention. Bottles - Filler, labels. Cans - Filler, seams. Whodathunkit?
LINE 1 - SOLO
PHASE I Realities 24 CPM (105 BPM) DO - 60 -80 ppb. * CIP - No mechanical action on fill stems. * No pallet control. * Date coding difficulties. * No automated low fill detection. 336 case day - 8, 000 cans weighed individually. Seam saw - no seam stripper.
PHASE I Initial Modifications CO 2 knife - Post filler. Stainless CIP box - PBR cans = bad idea. Pallet box. Mic stand(s) for date coding. Metal surface on can feed platform - CAN JAM!!

PHASE II Demand. 672 case day was a 14 -16 hour shift. Over 16, 000 cans weighed individually. Installed our 2 nd line, conveyors. Began relationship with Ball Corp.
PHASE II Realities 48 CPM (105 BPM) Applying Paktechs by hand. * Efficient three man work area. 672 shift required a four man shift (7 -5). Seam saw - no seam stripper. Ball Corp. location and cooperation -Don Muntz.
TUNNEL OF LOVE
PHASE II Modifications Paktech CCA 120. Conveyors linking lines together. Taptone low fill detection. Collection Table. Split twist-rinser. Permanent location for Domino. FNG’s.

PHASE III Demand – Customers/employees love cans. 672 cases: 10 hr shift. 1344 cases: 16 -18 hr shift. Rumors of 30 CPM per line. Seam education. Focusing on the details.
PHASE III Realities PLC modifications – Avg. 30 CPM per line. 672 case day – 8 hr shift (7 -3). Fluctuating fill volumes. * 4 man shift due to seam inspections (stripper). * Greater beer/can loss due to line speed. *
PHASE III Recent/Planned Modifications PLC modifications - Individual fill head control. PLC modifications – Foamer valves (? ? ) Seam analysis on production floor. Increased conveyor speed – Paktech/date code. Preventing can/end/product loss. Team adjusting to machine speed/learning curve. Increased PM. Learning from every error.

PURE GENIUS
MOVING FORWARD 3 rd line? ? 4 th line? ? Rotary line? ? More brands in cans? ? Quality of package and product. Differences between bottling and canning. Seam education and understanding.
