There are many challenges to packaging beverages, but one of the biggest and most overlooked is surprisingly common: using manual labor to stack cases on pallets. Think about it this way: A fully loaded pallet of packaged beverages often weighs 1,500–2,500 pounds. A ton (2,000 lbs) is equivalent to a small car or, for our outdoorsy friends, a large adult moose. Building that pallet typically requires 50+ repetitive lifts per pallet, often involving awkward reaches, torso rota

By: Jake Weesner, Codi Lead Operator/Trainer Scaling Your Beverage Production with High-Speed Canning Equipment I don’t need to tell anyone at this point but craft beer has, well, it’s changed quite a bit in the last few years. Some blame the market, some blame tariffs, some blame trends, but the fact of the matter is it changed, and we are all trying to find footing.

The wine industry is navigating a difficult period. Declining per-capita consumption, excess inventory sitting in tanks, demographic shifts in how consumers buy alcohol, and tighter access to credit are forcing wineries to rethink how they produce, package, and ship product. At the same time, labor challenges and demand patterns are less predictable than they were even five years ago. In this environment, large, inflexible capital projects are harder to justify.

How Aluminum Cans Shape Production, Packaging, and Customer Experience According to Wikipedia , approximately 480 billion aluminum cans are produced globally each year, making aluminum cans one of the most ubiquitous forms of beverage packaging. Despite their simple appearance, modern aluminum beverage cans are engineered products. Every aspect of a can’s design—height, diameter, wall thickness, and body profile—directly impacts how the product is filled, conveyed, packaged,

By: Jake Weesner - Codi Field Technician The Importance of CIP in Brewery Production The CIP process is quite possibly the most important step of the production process, whether we're talking about a wort kettle, keg, bright tank, or your Codi Filler. Let's use a brewery model for the main example, and majority of our examples throughout. The brewing team can spend 3 months sourcing ingredients, have a good old 12 hour brew day, then the beer spends 37 days in a fermenter ano

By: Jake Weesner - Codi Field Technician What is Counter Pressure Filling for Beverages? Counter pressure or Isobaric filling is a technology used by all large scale beverage producers to package liquids. It is the preferred method because it gives the operator complete control over the atmosphere inside the can during the fill process. The method involves a series of valve operations and pressurization that allows faster filling while simultaneously preventing oxygen absorpt

1) Fill Level 2) Foam Quality 3) Speed During a canning run, keeping these 3 points in highest attention, and considering them at all times in this order will often save you from issues after the fact.

Today we’re launching the updated Codi Manufacturing website. Our primary goal with was to make it easier to navigate, show the breadth of our portfolio, and give us a foundation for the next phase of our company.

We are back at it and holding another Masterclass here in Littleton, Colorado, at Codi Headquarters this coming October, the 20th through the 24th (originally set for the 6th-10th). The response from these classes has been outstanding! As long as there are maintenance techs and operators who want to know more about their equipment, we will open our doors to anyone who wants to join us!
