With the craft beverage industry continuing to boom, more and more people are stepping their foot into the business. Canning lines within the craft beverage industry use a specific type of technology called counter pressure, or isobaric filling as some may say. Counter pressure technology for a long time was only available to crafters producing product on a large scale. However, in recent years and due to the uptake of small locally owned breweries, manufacturing companies have been able to scale down this technology and offer it to crafters of all production sizes.
Because counter pressure canning gives the operator full control over the the atmosphere within the can, this is the preferred method industry wide. You may be wondering, what is counter pressure specifically and how is it used in a canning line? This technology involves a series of a several different valves and pressurization that allow for maximum output without the risk of oxygen absorption.
Benefits to Counter Pressure
