Technical Specifications & Performance Data 1996 Krones VCC-50-136,
50-valve isobaric can filler with 6-head 62H seamer, rated up to
30,000 cans/hour. In production for carbonated soft drinks in aluminum
cans. This monoblock filling machine combines filler and seamer in a
compact, synchronized block. Monoblock configuration: Krones
VCC-50-136 can filler with 62H can seamer Manufacturer and year:
Krones, 1996 Production speed: up to 30,000 cans per hour Filler:
50-valve isobaric filling carousel for carbonated beverages Seamer: 6
heads, for 202 ends with 211 body compatibility Container type:
aluminum can Formats handled: 0.35 L and 0.55 L Product types: soft
drinks and other carbonated beverages Electrical: 575 V, 60 Hz,
freestanding panel with operator interface Condition: in production,
ready for line integration Lubrication: centralized lubrication system
Advanced Automation & Control Systems The system includes an HMI for
visualization of filling and seaming parameters, alarms, and
diagnostics. Recipe-based format management supports rapid changeovers
between 0.35 L and 0.55 L. Stainless steel, freestanding electrical
panels with integrated E‑Stop provide safe, reliable operation at
575 V and 60 Hz. Production Line Integration Capabilities Engineered
for seamless line coupling with depalletizers, rinsers, dryers, date
coders, labelers, pasteurizers, and packers. The monoblock filling
machine maintains precise filler–seamer timing at high speed for
consistent seams. Change parts for 0.35 L and 0.55 L deliver fast,
repeatable changeovers. While dedicated to aluminum cans, the unit
interfaces easily within mixed-container facilities on separate
modules. Can be paired with an inline nitrogenator when process
conditions require low dissolved oxygen or can strengthening. Machine
Condition & Maintenance History Currently in production with stable
cycle times and repeatable seam quality. The centralized lubrication
system reduces wear on rotating assemblies and extends service
intervals. Routine preventive maintenance has preserved the mechanical
integrity of the filler carousel and seaming heads, supporting high
uptime. Operational Performance & Versatility As an isobaric can
filler, the VCC-50-136 is optimized for carbonated soft drinks and
related beverages such as carbonated water and energy drinks.
Suitability for additional SKUs (e.g., beer or seltzers) can be
evaluated using existing controls and change parts. The monoblock
design minimizes product transfer losses between filling and seaming
and integrates easily with upstream rinsing and downstream labeling
systems. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Provide a level,
reinforced floor with maintenance clearance around the filler bowl and
seamer. Electrical service at 575 V, 60 Hz is required, along with
stable compressed air for actuators and seaming functions. CO2 and
process utilities must support isobaric filling. Ensure appropriate
product feed, infeed/discharge conveyors, and line controls for
upstream/downstream synchronization, plus drainage and hygiene
provisions for routine cleaning. Safety Standards & Compliance
Certification Perimeter guarding, interlocked access doors, and
emergency stop stations are included. Hygienic stainless-steel
construction facilitates sanitation. When installed and commissioned
to local regulations and OEM guidelines, the system supports common
beverage-industry safety and hygiene standards; site-specific
validation should be completed during installation.
