WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF CRAFT BEER CANNING ! - Model 3
Counterpressure can filler
Description:
Our ancestors packed their beverages into leather bags, wooden barrels, pottery and glass.
Our generation uses extremely thin and super light material called aluminum - and yes, it’s awesome!
Since cans are now also easily available for micro brewers the time has come to look into the future of craft beer packaging.

The daniCanFiller Model 3 is a semiautomatic can filler. How does it work?
-
Push the START-BUTTON: The daniCanFiller lowers the platform and starts purging 4 cans with carbon dioxide to lower the oxygen pick-up and counterpressure filling 4 cans with carbonated beverage. It can of course also fill non-carbonated beverages.
-
Meanwhile the filled cans are capped, sealed by hand and 4 new cans are placed on the left side.
-
The daniCanFiller measures the desired amount of liquid, it then stops automatically when the cans are filled and lifts the platform.
-
The cans are pushed to the right side by hand.
-
Push the START-BUTTON: ...
The daniCanFiller is very compact, affordable, easy to clean and easy to handle.
It totally follows the BT-philosophy: A very simple and straightforward design for a low price.
Designed and made by craft brewers for craft brewers: The daniCanFiller is handcrafted in our brewery garage in Bern/Switzerland.
What are the differences between the Model 2 and the Model 3?
The Model 2 is an atmospheric filler that can also fill very cold carbonated beverages.
The Model 3 is a real counterpressure filler that fills CO2 into the can creating a
counterpressure which is then slowly released when the carbonated beverage enters
the cans. This prevents overfoaming. The advantage of a counterpressure filler over an
atmospheric filler is the fact you can also fill at higher temperatures of +5 °C for
example which is not possible for atmospheric fillers which are usually driven < 0 °C.
If you want to fill overcarbonated beverages or you do not want to chill your beverages < 0 °C for filling or you simply do not want to care about any
overfoaming problems the Model 3 is the way to go.
