Twin Monkeys Cimarron Atmospheric filler (2021)

Overview

This Twin Monkeys Cimarron is a compact automated canning system (monobloc can filler + seamer), built in 2021 by Twin Monkeys Beverage Systems (Denver, USA) and distributed and serviced in Europe by Agrovin. Designed for craft breweries, it fills and seams standard 0.33 L and 0.44 L beverage cans at up to 3,000 cans per hour in its current single-lane configuration.

Cans run through a fully automatic cycle: air purge, filling, lid application under CO₂ and seaming. The low-oxygen filling system works with a fill tolerance of ±2 g and dissolved-oxygen pickup as low as 20 ppb; a wedge-style seamer (patent pending) closes the cans. All parameters are managed on the color touch-screen PLC, including automatic CIP wash cycles, cycle counters and operator help screens. The machine is still installed and in production and can be seen in operation.
