Since launching in 2016, East Coast Canning has played a significant role in getting more of Australia's craft beer into tinnies.
Recently the company has invested in a brand new canning line and, as a result, the one responsible for packaging more than 2.5m cans in less than two years – is for sale.

Details:
- This is a Twin Monkeys Animas system purchased in August 2016. It has done over 2.5 million cans since then.
- Sale is mainly due to a ‘machinery alignment’ desire within our company. We still loved running this machine right up until its last day of operations last month.
- This is a very ‘utilitarian’ canning line, and has had lots of modifications to make things easier for operators to achieve a strong result, and also to ensure more robust and reliable operation.
- All parts are catalogued, and we have part numbers and suppliers listed for almost every single item on the machine - this has extreme value in itself.
- DO pickup has been regularly clocked on this machine at between 30 and 80 PPB, and during training we will help train operators how to achieve this.
- All that is required to produce 1.5 cases per minute is a date coder and pack off table.
- Would suit an operation running 1 or 2 days per week/fortnight, aiming at between 3000 and 5000L per day.
- With a strong compressed air source, and appropriate compressed air preparation equipment, this machine will provide years of reliable operation.
