CANNING & FILLING MACHINES

CODI brought the first widely available inline counter-pressure canning system to market in 2015. Our filling and seaming machines are built for carbonated beverages where oxygen control, fill consistency, and seam integrity are non-negotiable. Systems are available for standard and CE-compliant markets, with ROPP capability for recloseable bottles and cans.

COUNTER PRESSURE FILLER + SEAMER

The CCL-45 is Codi's flagship inline counter-pressure filler and seamer, trusted by hundreds of craft producers since 2014. Built from stainless steel for true CIP capability and long service life.

CE COUNTER PRESSURE FILLER & SEAMER

The CCL-45CE delivers the same counter-pressure performance as the CCL-45, built to EU compliance standards.

ROPP COUNTERPRESSURE FILLER & CAPPER

Fills aluminum cans and recloseable ROPP bottles. Compatible with ROPP cappers from Zalkin, NP-RC, Zonesun, Arol, and Tecno Max.

KEG FILLER

Codi’s Keg Filler uses counterpressure volumetric control for accurate, repeatable fills at high throughput. It reduces product loss and maintains consistent quality with every keg.

CANNING MACHINE BASICS

Counter-pressure (isobaric) filling is a closed, pressure-balanced method for packaging carbonated beverages while minimizing oxygen pickup and product loss. It is the standard approach used by large beverage producers because it reduces waste and allows precise control over the atmosphere inside the can during fill. Whether packaging beer, RTDs, sparkling wine, or other carbonated products, mouthfeel and shelf life are directly influenced by how the beverage is handled at fill and seam.
Counter-pressure filling is designed to minimize both dissolved oxygen (DO) and total packaged oxygen (TPO) — the two key measures of oxygen exposure that degrade aroma, flavor, color, and shelf stability. By isolating the container from ambient air, purging with CO₂ or nitrogen, and maintaining pressure equilibrium during filling, the process limits oxygen ingress at the most critical stages. It also reduces product loss from foam and overfill, particularly during line startup and in warm operating environments where atmospheric fillers consistently underperform.
Counter-pressure filling uses a controlled sequence: purge, pressurize, fill, and pressure-release. The can is sealed from ambient air during critical parts of the cycle. A purge gas (typically CO₂) displaces oxygen. The can is then pressurized to match tank pressure, so carbonation stays in solution during the fill. A controlled pressure release manages foam behavior at the end of the fill cycle. The result is stable, repeatable fills with low oxygen pickup — even at elevated product temperatures or high carbonation levels.
Counter-pressure is strongly advised for carbonated beverages with CO₂ volumes above 2.7 vols, whenever product loss at startup is not acceptable, and when quality targets require low dissolved oxygen. Facilities where maintaining cold product temperatures is difficult benefit especially from counter-pressure systems. Gravity (open atmosphere) filling can work for still products, small runs with simple process constraints, or cases where shelf life and DO targets are less demanding.
CODI brought the first widely available inline counter-pressure filler to market in 2015. As customers adopted the platform and pushed it into real production environments, demand grew for integrated upstream and downstream equipment — starting with depalletizers. CODI expanded its scope to deliver complete pre- and post-fill solutions, applying the same engineering discipline to ensure the entire packaging line operates as a cohesive, well-integrated system.
