If a marking is detected by a sensor, the lid rotation device rotates the lid and / or can by means of a controller until the predefined appearance is achieved.
  • the advantage of an integrated or integrable lid alignment device is that the lid and can can be aligned during the filling process so that a uniform appearance is created for all closed cans. With the help of this device, an additional process step can be saved and the process time and the process costs are reduced.
  • the object is also achieved by a method for filling and closing cans under hygienic conditions, in particular as described above, with a system.
  • the lid is introduced into the hygienic compartment before step b), it can either be introduced separately from the can before, during or after the introduction of the can into the hygienic compartment. However, it can also be introduced into the hygienic compartment together with the can, for example by placing it on the can.
  • the advantage of the process is that it enables the can to be filled and closed in a very time-efficient manner under hygienic conditions.
  • the advantage of the method is that the preparation of the can lid for a hygienic closing of the can takes place in parallel with the filling process of the can. This saves time and money.
