YOUR OPTIONS
Compare six machine concepts for bottles and cans.
Start now. Expand later.
Approx. 1,400 cans/h
Patented counter-pressure filling system. Typically supplied with a manual rinser and can seamer, with automation available for the same base machine later.
For a start with manual can handling and the option to add more automation later.
Compact bottle filling
Up to approx. 1,000 bottles/h
Conventional counter-pressure technology with a crown capper, without a rinser. Height adjustment for different bottles; format changeover takes approx. 10 minutes.
For smaller bottle volumes and a compact start to your own filling operation.
A small range of bottle formats
600–13,100 bottles/h · Indicative range
Long-tube filling with the product outlet near the bottle base. Available with 6, 12, 18, 24 or 30 filling stations; a lower entry cost than MULTIMA K.
Often a suitable choice for breweries using a small range of formats, such as 0.33 L and 0.50 L.
Many formats or frequent changeovers
1,200–13,100 bottles/h · Indicative range
Short-tube filling with central height adjustment of the valve carrier plate. Available with 12, 18, 24 or 30 filling stations.
For a wide range of bottle heights or frequent format changes: fewer format parts and faster changeovers.
Rotary can filling
1,200–13,100 cans/h · Indicative range
Long-tube counter-pressure filler with 12, 18, 24 or 30 filling stations. CO₂ displaces the air in the can before it docks with the valve.
For a rotary canning line with a matched seamer and a configuration planned around your requirements.
Bottles and cans
1,200–13,100 containers/h · Indicative range
Switchable filling valve for bottle and can operation. Available with 12, 18, 24 or 30 filling stations; changeovers and closing equipment are included in the planning.
For alternating bottle and can production runs on the same filling machine.
The MULTIMA selection uses calculated indicative ranges of 50–105% of nominal output, rounded inwards to the nearest 100 containers/h. Reference conditions: Pilsner at 4 °C and 5.6 g CO₂/L in 0.33 L or 0.50 L containers. Results list each applicable volume separately; the family ranges combine machine sizes and both volumes. For INVASA and CANVASA, we will discuss the way you intend to operate. We will agree the product, containers and complete line with you personally.

Your own bottling operation, canning with room to expand or frequent format changes: these differences help you choose.
| Your plans | Machine | What it means for your brewery | What to consider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start with compact canning and add more automation later | CANVASA | Typical base configuration: manual rinser and can seamer. Cans are largely fed and removed by hand; optional modules can be retrofitted later. | The configuration is determined by the 202 or 200 can end size. Changing format within the same end size takes approx. 15 minutes. |
| Bottle smaller volumes in-house | INVASA | Conventional counter-pressure filling with a crown capper and central adjustment for different bottle heights. | Base configuration without a rinser. Bottle format changeover takes approx. 10 minutes. |
| A small range of bottle formats, such as 0.33 L and 0.50 L | MULTIMA L | Long-tube filling with the product outlet near the bottle base. Lower entry cost; available from 6 filling stations. | Typically suited to around three formats or fewer. No central height adjustment; each filling valve requires work during changeover. |
| Many bottle heights or frequent format changes | MULTIMA K | Short-tube filling with central height adjustment of the valve carrier plate. Fewer format parts and faster format changeovers than MULTIMA L. | 12, 18, 24 or 30 filling stations. Consider the range of formats together with changeover frequency. |
| Plan a rotary canning line | MULTIMA LC | Before the can docks, CO₂ from the long filling tube displaces the air inside. The can is not evacuated by vacuum. | 12, 18, 24 or 30 filling stations. Match the can format, seamer and complete line. |
| Fill bottles and cans on one machine | MULTIMA 2in1 | Switchable filling valve: vacuum pre-evacuation for bottles and CO₂ pre-purging before docking for cans. | Plan the conversion, format parts and closing equipment for both operating modes. |
All changeover times are approximate guidelines. We will discuss the suitability of the specific machine with you. On small screens, scroll the table sideways.
Confirmed nominal outputs for Pilsner at 4 °C and 5.6 g CO₂/L. Containers must be suitable for the relevant machine family. The net output of your complete line also depends on infeed, discharge, closing equipment and other operations.
| Size and family | 0.33 L | 0.50 L |
|---|---|---|
| 6* | 1,750 bottles/h | 1,200 bottles/h |
| 12 · MULTIMA L, K, LC and 2in1 | 3,200 | 2,400 |
| 18 · MULTIMA L, K, LC and 2in1 | 5,900 | 4,300 |
| 24 · MULTIMA L, K, LC and 2in1 | 9,500 | 6,700 |
| 30 · MULTIMA L, K, LC and 2in1 | 12,500 | 9,300 |
* The 6-station size is available for MULTIMA L only.
MULTIMA L is often sufficient for a small range of bottle formats, typically around three or fewer. MULTIMA K offers advantages for many formats or frequent changes through its central height adjustment. The approximate guidelines below include basic changeover time and additional time per filling station, rounded to five minutes.
| Filling stations | MULTIMA L | MULTIMA K |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | approx. 40 min | approx. 25 min |
| 18 | approx. 50 min | approx. 35 min |
| 24 | approx. 70 min | approx. 45 min |
| 30 | approx. 80 min | approx. 50 min |
This table does not give a changeover time for MULTIMA L 6 or for switching between bottle and can operation.
Yes. Start with largely manual can infeed and removal, then add more automation to the same base machine later. An automatic rinser, palletising table and collection table are examples of optional modules that can be ordered initially or retrofitted.
Modules can be installed at your premises with a LEIBINGER service technician. Alternatively, your existing machine can be converted at LEIBINGER, with major maintenance planned at the same time if required.
Choose the can end size too: Standard and Sleek cans with 202 ends, or Slim cans with 200 ends, each require the appropriate configuration. Switching between 202 and 200 is not a regular format change on the same CANVASA. The approximate 15-minute changeover applies within the same end size.
INVASA, MULTIMA L, K and 2in1 can be equipped with neck-handling holders for PET bottles. These support the bottle at the neck when it is pressed against the filling valve. We will agree the container, closure and product conditions for your configuration. With the appropriate equipment, MULTIMA 2in1 handles cans as well as glass and PET bottles.
IN YOUR BREWERY
Deliberately mechanical in design, easy to clean and built for maintenance on site.
All LEIBINGER machines we offer are CIP-capable and suitable for steaming, including INVASA and CANVASA. CIP means Cleaning in Place: cleaning without dismantling the components.
Heat-resistant seals made from peroxide-cured EPDM. Cleaning agents, temperature and procedure are agreed for your configuration.
Our machines use a deliberately mechanical design. Seals, springs and other components are easy to replace; motors and sensors can also be changed. Our service team can guide you through work on site when needed.
The complete frame and main components are stainless steel. Larger, more involved maintenance can be planned with a service technician.
With the base CANVASA configuration, cans are largely fed and removed by hand. Optional modules can add more automation to these steps later.
We will discuss infeed, monitoring, discharge and staffing for your complete line.
A floor plan helps with positioning and access. For example, the base frame of a MULTIMA L 12 with rinser measures 2,660 × 1,310 mm.
The frame dimensions do not represent the full space requirement: allow additional room for operation, maintenance, conveyors and other equipment.
FROM BREWERY TO BREWERY
Ask us for a reference suited to your plans. We will look for an existing brewery that matches your container type and planned configuration, and discuss how to arrange an exchange.
