Another successful shipment is on its way to the USA. This tunnel, designed and manufactured by Molenaar, has been carefully engineered for both performance and cost-efficiency. Each tunnel module is designed to fit perfectly into a standard 20-foot container, ensuring seamless shipping and reduced transport costs. The modular design allows clients to customise the tunnel length by adding more modules - which increases the throughput, enabling a higher number of cans processed per hour. After FAT, the tunnel is disassembled, packed into the container and shipped to its destination. This approach not only simplifies logistics, but also ensures our clients receive high-quality, precision engineered solutions with maximum efficiency. #tunnels #molenaar #tunnelprocessing #thermalprocessing #modules #beverageprocessing #packagingindustry #packingsolutions #beveragepackaging

As we move closer to the completion of our double-deck pasteurizer project, we’re focused on delivering a system that meets the highest quality standards before installation. At Molenaar, every thermal processing solution undergoes a rigorous Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) to ensure operational efficiency, reliability and compliance with industry standards.   One of the key differentiators in our pasteurization tunnel design is our cascade water flow system as it allows water to flow down evenly like a shower, ensuring optimal heat transfer, reduced maintenance and improved product integrity.   We deliver enhanced thermal efficiency while minimising water buildup and system downtime. This meticulous approach ensures our customers receive a high-performance, long-lasting pasteurization solution tailored to their production needs.   Stay tuned as we finalise the final stages of testing and quality control, ensuring that this system is ready to deliver maximum efficiency upon installation.

One of our customers wanted to enhance their thermal processing capabilities by transitioning from continuous rotary cookers to a more flexible and cost-effective pasteurization tunnel for their high-acid canned products. The goal was to accommodate multiple can sizes while reducing maintenance costs associated with rotary systems.   Following successful trials, the decision was made to move forward with the project. Leveraging Molenaar’s expertise in thermal processing, we designed a double-deck pasteurizer capable of processing up to 600 cans per minute across various size formats. Construction kicked off in November 2024, with installation set for April 2025.   This project underscores our commitment to delivering innovative, efficient and scalable solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the beverage and food industries. #pasteurizationtunnels #canning #pasteurization #foodindustry #beverageindustry #foodandbeverage #thermalprocessing #pasteurizer #packagingindustry #packaging #rotarycookers

Understanding the importance of precision seaming in the beverage industry In the beverage industry, can seams play a major role in product quality, safety and efficiency. A well-executed seam ensures the preservation of flavour, carbonation and shelf life while preventing leaks or contamination. We specialise in advanced seaming technology designed to meet the specific demands of modern beverage production. Some key benefits of high-quality seaming systems: ☑️ Precision seaming guarantees an airtight and secure seal, which is essential for maintaining the quality of beverages - particularly carbonated drinks where pressure must remain consistent. ☑️ Advanced seaming systems are capable of high-speed operation while maintaining consistency, reducing downtime caused by errors or rework. This is particularly beneficial in large-scale beverage production where efficiency directly impacts profitability. ☑️ Modern seaming systems accommodate a range of container types and sizes, from standard aluminium cans to speciality formats used in craft beverages and niche products. ☑️ Reliable seaming ensures compliance with packaging safety regulations, avoiding costly recalls or product rejections. ☑️ Accurate seaming reduces material waste, such as improperly sealed cans or bottles, contributing to a more sustainable production process and minimising environmental impact. At Molenaar, we collaborate with beverage producers to optimise their seaming processes, ensuring consistent, high-quality results across all production runs.
