This weekend, the beer can turns 91 🥳 A milestone that shows how one innovation reshaped the beverage industry, and how technology continues to evolve.
When the first beer was sold in a can in 1935, Ferrum was already on its way. Founded in 1917, Ferrum was developing various industrial machines, including its first manually operated can seamers. Robust solutions built for the needs of their time.
Since then, Ferrum’s know-how has continuously grown and has been systematically engineered into its can seaming machines. In high-precision can seaming, experience makes the difference. Millions of beer and beverage cans worldwide have been safely closed with Ferrum technology.
Today, Ferrum Packaging offers a comprehensive portfolio of can seaming solutions: From lower-speed beverage applications with the ferruCompact line to high-speed production with ferruBasic, delivering up to 150'000 cans per hour. Beyond beverages, the F400 series supports demanding food and can manufacturing applications. And with upgrade-ready designs and engineered conversions, Ferrum solutions remain future-proof.
Together with KHS Group, the jointly developed SmartCan filler/seamer block sets new benchmarks in speed, hygiene, and efficiency for high-performance beverage lines.
🔊 Sound on to hear over 100 years of can seaming: From the rhythm of manual seaming to the power of today’s high-speed lines. Ferrum has been part of this journey at every stage.
