Key Performance and Design Benefits
Built for high precision and efficiency, the EvoFILL Can Compact offers several strategic advantages for beverage manufacturers:
- Production speeds up to 40,000 cans per hour, ideal for low-to-medium speed lines

The electropneumatic filling system uses magnetic flowmeters and electronically controlled pneumatic valves to deliver smooth, consistent, and hygienic operations. This configuration ensures tight control over fill levels while reducing energy consumption and waste.
Compact, Modular, and Operator-Friendly
At the heart of EvoFILL Can Compact is its smart, space-saving configuration. The plug-and-play machine combines the filler and seamer in a monoblock format, significantly reducing the system footprint and simplifying installation.
