New SmartCan filler/seamer block by KHS and Ferrum

Perfect harmony: the KHS Group has launched its SmartCan filler/seamer block by KHS/Ferrum developed together with Swiss engineering company Ferrum. The hygienic design of the compact system is convincing with its perfect product quality and safety. It also gives operators clear benefits when it comes to flexibility, efficiency and operation.

Whereas in the past chiefly beer and carbonated soft drinks were filled into cans, for some time now there has been an ever stronger trend for canned more sensitive products such as iced tea, plant-based drinks, juices, smoothies, near-water products or alcohol-free beers and mixed beer beverages. This development means that beverage fillers’ hygiene requirements are also becoming more discerning, demands their technology partners are meeting – among them systems supplier KHS and specialists like Ferrum. With their SmartCan filler/seamer block by KHS/Ferrum, for the first time the two companies have now effected a seamless union of their respective machines that boasts an optimized hygiene concept and jointly provides more flexibility, greater efficiency and simple operation.
