Customized can cartoning

Versatile cartoning system meets Summit Brewing’s need for can-count flexibility and fast changeover.

Summit Brewing Co., St. Paul, MN, produces 14 varieties of premium bottled and canned craft beers currently distributed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, and North and South Dakota.

For its canned beers, the brewer uses a KHS Model DVD40 filler and an Angelus 5M seamer. The system runs at 400 cpm for 12-oz cans and at 360 cpm for 16-oz cans. The 12-oz aluminum cans are supplied by Ball Corp., and the 16-oz cans are from Ardagh.
