CE Counter Pressure Canning Line
CE COUNTER PRESSURE FILLER & SEAMER
CE-compliant counterpressure filler and seamer | inline canning machine | European beverage packaging
The CODI CCL-45CE is a fully enclosed (monoblock), CE-compliant inline counterpressure can filler and seamer that handles carbonation up to 4.0 volumes and warmer incoming liquid temperatures. It is the same proven counterpressure technology as the CCL-45, built to full EU compliance with an enclosed footprint for producers who need it. 304 stainless steel throughout for true CIP capability. Since 2015 this is the counterpressure filler trusted by craft breweries, coffee roasters, and kombucha makers around the world.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Clean-in-Place (CIP)
Fully CIP-capable with closed-loop recirculation, high-temperature rated components, and PLC-controlled cycles for thorough, repeatable sanitation between runs.
Counterpressure Filling
Isobaric filling seals and purges each can with CO₂ before filling under pressure, protecting carbonation and enabling consistent fills across a wider range of temperatures and carbonation levels up to 4.0vols.
Cam-Driven Seaming
Mechanical seaming synchronized with the feed screw delivers a consistent, reliable seal every cycle with minimal variability and straightforward troubleshooting.
Centralized HMI Control
A single control point manages purge cycles, tank pressure, fill rate, settle time, and snift cycles, with audible and visual alerts if anything falls out of spec.

Mobile Frame Package: High-load locking swivel casters and integrated quick-disconnect utility manifolds for shared-space facilities.
Oxygen Minimization & Quality Control
CO₂ Pre-Purge Manifold: Pre-evacuates ambient air from empty containers prior to reaching the fill heads, accelerating cycle times.

Full CE Monoblock Guarding & Category Safety Interlocks
Built with an integrated 304 stainless steel and heavy-gauge polycarbonate enclosure completely guarding all pinch points, moving screws, and rotating seamer tooling.
Dual-channel safety interlock switches instantly halt conveyor motion, fill carriage stroke, and seaming cycles if an enclosure door is opened during a run.
Centralized E-stop circuits immediately dump pneumatic air pressure via an automated safety exhaust valve and isolate servo drives.
True Isobaric Counterpressure Filling
Creates a sealed, pressurized atmosphere inside each can to equalize pressure with the liquid buffer tank prior to valve actuation.
Selectable Flush (continuous displacement) or Evacuate (multi-cycle pressurization and purge) modes strip oxygen down to single-digit ppb levels.
Fills high-gravity and highly carbonated beverages up to 4.0+ volumes of CO₂ without breakout foaming, even at warm temperatures up to 52°F (11°C).
Heavy-Duty Cam-Driven Seaming (SH-45)
The single-head seamer is mechanically cam-driven and electronically synchronized with the filler infeed screw.
Dual multi-turn absolute encoder feedback maintains perfect can alignment into the seaming chuck without container sloshing or seam deformation.
Precision 1st and 2nd operation seaming rolls deliver consistent double seams across millions of cycles on standard, sleek, and slim cans.
All-Stainless Sanitary Construction & Hot CIP (TACT)
Constructed without unanodized aluminum or structural plastics in the product contact envelope.
Heavy-gauge AISI 304 stainless steel chassis, buffer tank, and fluid piping handle full Clean-In-Place chemical cycles.
High-temperature components withstand hot caustic cleaning cycles up to 180°F (82°C) to break down organic soils and hop resins.
Centralized Schneider Electric HMI & Remote Telemetry
Industrial touchscreen display provides complete recipe management, individual fill head pressure readouts, snift timers, and seamer RPM monitoring.
Integrated Phoenix Contact mGuard network hardware enables secure remote telemetry diagnostics and control software support from CODI engineering.
Live CPM throttling allows operators to dial down machine speed during secondary packaging changes without stopping production.
Multi-Stage Foam & Pressure Snift Management
Dual independent snift throttle valves slowly decompress the can headspace before breaking the fill seal.
Fine-tuning snift duration and choke pressure on the HMI preserves carbonation while cultivating the ideal foam crown before seaming.

FAQ
What is the difference between the CCL-45 and the CCL-45CE?
Fill and seam performance is identical. The CE version is built to EU compliance standards with full enclosure, which is why it weighs roughly 1,845 pounds against 1,300 for the standard CCL-45. Specify it if you are selling into a CE market, or if you want a fully enclosed line regardless of market.
Does the CE version give up any capability?
No. Carbonation range is 0 to 4.0+ volumes CO2, product temperature 28 to 52 degrees F, and speed up to 55 CPM under ideal conditions, matching the standard machine. Full CIP capability and 304 stainless construction carry over unchanged.
Why would a producer outside the EU choose the CE version?
A fully enclosed monoblock contains the fill and seam zone, which limits airborne contamination reaching open cans and simplifies guarding on a fast line. Producers outside CE markets sometimes specify it for that reason alone.
What options are available on the CCL-45CE?
3 head or 6 head configurations, ROPP capper upgrade, CO2 tunnel, pre-purge or widget purge, foam jetter, bi-directional CIP, flowmeter, and screw lubrication. Voltage covers 208-240V single or three-phase and 380-500V three-phase. For dedicated ROPP bottle work, the CCL-45ROPP is the purpose-built platform.
