The Brief
The Wild Beer Co, based in Somerset, produce an eclectic mix of wild beer. Co-founders Andrew Cooper and Brett Ellis' aims were to start canning and to can at 30 cans per minute.
The Solution
Vigo supplied, installed and commissioned an American Beer Equipment LinCan™ canning line, which fills at a rate of 30 cans per minute, and all associated conveyoring and pipework. The canning line includes a twist rinser, 7 head filling station, seamer, rinser, airblower and packing table. To minimise oxygen pickup there is a CO2 purge, a fob pulse and under-lid CO2 jet. An ink jet printer for date coding was also supplied.
The Result
The cans have met our highest expectations. In the first month of production, we are extremely satisfied with the quality of product we are able to produce with the canning line. We are seeing excellent demand for our product in cans, which justifies our decision to move to cans.' - Andrew Cooper & Brett Ellis, The Wild Beer Co
