The can line will have the capacity to produce 90,000 cans per hour and production off the line is due to commence in early 2006.

Moody Fastpack was selected to move the two keg lines 90 degrees to the side, to make room for two new high speed packaging lines.
The company was responsible for disconnecting, lifting, transporting and reinstalling the keg racker discharge equipment on each line.
The existing cask-racking discharge equipment including the weigher, TrenStar keg tracking system and Unitiser was also relocated.
Ian Forrester, Project Engineer for Carlsberg UK said: "Each line runs 24 hours a day and moves 1050 kegs every hour so we needed a partner that could complete the work very quickly, efficiently and safely.
Moody Fastpack presented a solution that met our needs exactly, making the best use of new and existing equipment to ensure minimal downtime and cost savings".
Ron Morris, Project Manager at Moody Fastpack comments: "This project involved very careful planning as the maximum downtime for each line was 10 days.
To prepare, we supplied Carlsberg with a feasibility study and then based on this, worked in partnership with them to develop the most cost-effective solution and design layout".
The solution also involved the supply of two conveying systems suitable for handling the complete range of containers including 36 gallon barrels.
Utilising the skills of its sister company Moody Systems, the process and mechanical services were also modified and re-installed.
Further works included modifications to the existing operator platforms and steps.
