Vicanpack builds bottle, can, tin, and jar packing systems for liquids, powders, granules, tablets, sauces, beverages, chemicals, and personal care products. Each line matches the filling method to the product, then adds container feeding, capping or seaming, labeling, coding, and inspection as required.

After primary packing, the line can place containers into retail cartons or arrange them directly inside shipping cases. Case erectors, case sealers, conveyors, and palletizers complete the downstream process. Vicanpack plans the machine layout around your container shape, fill volume, cap type, production speed, case arrangement, and available factory space.

Rigid containers need controlled handling throughout the line. Bottles may fall when conveyor gaps grow too large. Empty cans can jam at guide rails. Filled glass jars need stable transfers before labeling and case packing.

Vicanpack plans the Bottles Cans Tins Packing System around the container, product and required output. The line can cover container feeding, filling, cap or lid handling, capping, can seaming, labeling, inspection, cartoning, case packing and palletizing.

Factories can order the filling section alone or connect it with downstream packing equipment.

A round plastic bottle, a square glass jar and a lightweight metal can do not move in the same way.

Container height, base width, neck shape and material affect the conveyor guides, filling position and transfer method. Unstable bottles may need side belts. Glass containers need smaller transfer gaps. Empty cans often require controlled accumulation before filling.

Vicanpack checks container samples and drawings before setting the conveyor width, guide height and machine spacing.

The system can handle:

• Plastic bottles
• Glass bottles and jars
• Aluminum cans
• Tin cans
• Metal tins
• Composite cans
• Round, square and shaped containers

The container format only covers one part of the project. The product determines the filling method.

Liquid Products

Liquid fillers can handle water, juice, edible oil, vinegar, alcohol, detergent and other free-flowing liquids.

Sauce, honey, cream, shampoo and paste need piston fillers, pumps or other filling structures that match their viscosity. Products with fruit pieces, seeds or other particles may require larger filling passages.

Powder Products

Auger fillers measure milk powder, coffee powder, protein powder, spice, flour and chemical powder.

Powder lines may add screw feeding, hopper level control, dust collection or filling nozzles that reduce powder loss around the container opening.

Granules and Pieces

Cup fillers, weighers or counting units handle coffee beans, candy, tablets, capsules, nuts and other solid products.

The correct method depends on whether the factory controls the fill by weight, volume or piece count.

The machines in each project may change, but most lines follow the same basic route:

Container feeding → Filling → Cap or lid handling → Closing → Coding → Labeling → Inspection → Secondary packing

The closing stage depends on the container.

Bottle lines may use screw capping, press capping, pump insertion or trigger-sprayer tightening. Can lines may use seaming machines, foil sealing, plastic lid pressing or vacuum nitrogen sealing.

The next section may load containers into folding cartons or place them directly into corrugated shipping cases.

A bottle packing system often starts with an unscrambler or bottle feeding table. Conveyors carry the containers through filling, cap feeding, capping and labeling.

The line may also add:

• Bottle rinsing or air cleaning
• Pump or nozzle insertion
• Induction foil sealing
• Date and batch coding
• Checkweighing
• Cap and label inspection
• Bottle collection
• Cartoning and case packing

Food, beverage, cosmetics and daily chemical factories often use bottle lines, but each industry needs different product-contact parts and filling controls.

Cans and tins often need different closing equipment from bottles.

A can line may fill powder, granules, beverages or food products before sending the container to a seamer. Powder canning projects may also include spoon inserting, nitrogen flushing, vacuum sealing and plastic lid pressing.

A typical milk powder can line may follow this order:

Empty can feeding → UV cleaning → Powder filling → Weight checking → Spoon inserting → Vacuum nitrogen seaming → Lid pressing → Coding → Case packing

Coffee, nuts, candy and solid products may use a simpler route with weighing, filling, seaming and labeling.

Metal tins with removable lids may need lid placement and pressing instead of can seaming. Vicanpack chooses the closing unit after checking the lid and container structure.

Caps, pumps, lids and can ends vary in shape and feeding direction. A line may need a vibrating bowl, cap elevator or sorting conveyor to deliver each closure correctly.

Torque also matters. Loose caps may leak during transport, while excessive torque may damage the cap or container neck.

Can seam quality depends on the can body, end diameter and seam structure. Vicanpack matches the seaming head to the customer’s container and checks samples before machine production.

Filled containers may use self-adhesive labels, wraparound labels, sleeve labels or front-and-back labels.

Round containers normally use wraparound labeling. Square bottles may need front-and-back labels. Cans can use labels or preprinted bodies, depending on the package design.

Coding equipment can print production dates, batch numbers, expiry dates and traceability information on the container, lid or label.

When the container surface contains oil, moisture or powder, the project may need a different code position or printing method.

Some products need a retail carton before shipping. A cartoning machine opens the folding carton, loads one or more containers and closes the carton.

This arrangement commonly suits:

• Perfume and cosmetic bottles
• Pharmaceutical bottles
• Supplement containers
• Small jars
• Gift sets
• Products with leaflets or accessories

The machine can load containers alone or group them with spoons, pumps, instructions and other items.

Container orientation matters during cartoning. A label may need to face outward, or a pump head may need to point in a fixed direction. Vicanpack chooses the feeding and loading method around these requirements.

Many factories skip the retail carton and load bottles, cans, jars or tins directly into corrugated cases.

The case packing section can include:

1. Case erecting
2. Container grouping
3. Row or layer arrangement
4. Top-loading or drop-type case packing
5. Case flap folding
6. Tape or hot-melt sealing
7. Case coding and labeling
8. Palletizing

Dividers or cardboard partitions can protect glass bottles and prevent container contact during transport.

The case packer must match the real output of the filling line. An oversized case packer adds cost without improving production. An undersized machine causes containers to build up before the loading station.

After case sealing, conveyors move the cases toward the palletizer.

Robot palletizers suit factories that run several case sizes or need different stacking patterns. Conventional palletizers often suit fixed products with steady output.

The pallet pattern depends on case dimensions, weight and transport conditions. Heavy cases need stable lower layers. Tall pallets may need slip sheets or pallet wrapping after stacking.

Vicanpack can include empty pallet feeding, layer-pad placement and pallet wrapping when the project requires these steps.

A factory may already have a filler, capper or labeler and only need the end-of-line section.

Vicanpack can add cartoning, case erecting, case packing, sealing or palletizing after the existing equipment. Before planning the connection, we check:

• Current production speed
• Conveyor height and width
• Container discharge direction
• Available accumulation distance
• Existing control signals
• Factory floor space
• Planned case arrangement

The connection needs proper stop and restart control. When the case packer stops, the filling line should slow down or pause before containers crowd the conveyor.

Many factories run several bottles or cans on the same line. The equipment may support these changes within a defined size range.

Operators can adjust conveyor guides, filling nozzles, capping heads and label positions. Some lines store product settings in the control panel.

Large changes may require replacement parts, including:

• Filling nozzle holders
• Bottle star wheels
• Cap chutes
• Capping heads
• Can seaming tooling
• Labeling fixtures
• Case packer grippers

Do not judge machine flexibility only by the minimum and maximum container diameter. Height, neck shape, cap type and container stability can create more limits than diameter alone.

Provide the following details before line planning:

• Product name and condition
• Filling volume or weight
• Container material and shape
• Container and opening dimensions
• Cap, lid or can-end samples
• Required containers per minute
• Label type and position
• Containers per carton or case
• Case dimensions and sealing method
• Pallet size and stacking height
• Workshop layout
• Existing machines that need connection

Videos of the current production process can also show container movement, operator tasks and space limits that a simple floor drawing may miss.

A Bottles Cans Tins Packing System should match the factory’s actual products and working method.

A small line may use manual container loading and finished-case collection. A larger project may connect unscrambling, filling, inspection, case packing and palletizing without manual transfer between sections.

Vicanpack can divide the project into stages. The factory may install the filling and labeling section first, then add cartoning, case packing or palletizing when production increases.
