Here are some of the many questions we are asked:
"What kind of machine do you have and what can it do?"
Our machine is hand-built by CODI Manufacturing in Golden, Colorado. It is a 6-head, counter-pressure canning machine. Counter-pressure filling allows us to:
- Achieve consistent fill volumes to minimize waste
- Package products with carb levels up to 4.0 volumes.
- Run purge or evacuation cycles to further remove oxygen and protect sensitive beers.
- Run CIP with higher water temps and more aggressive cleaners to ensure sanitary conditions
- Can beer at temperatures well over 40 degrees.
"I need packaging materials, but have no room for them!"
Not a problem. We have connections in the industry and can source all the packaging materials you need. We bring only what is needed and anything left after the canning run, we take back with us.
"I don't know if I should use labels, or should I go with printed? Or maybe shrink-sleeved?"
We also have connections in the can decoration industry and can introduce you to them so they can bring your ideas to life!
"Who will I be working with?"
Well, us! Heartland Mobile Canning is a small, family business and you will be dealing with the owners of the company directly. We strive to make each canning run easier than the last so you can rest assured your product will be enjoyed by your customers.
