Canned Beans Production Line

1. Product Overview

The Canned Beans Production Line is a fully integrated and automated solution designed for industrial-scale bean canning factories and food processing enterprises. This production line enables manufacturers to produce high-quality canned beans — including red beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, green beans, black beans, baked beans, and mixed beans — with consistent taste, color, and texture.

With the increasing global demand for ready-to-eat bean products for supermarkets, restaurants, and OEM brands, our line provides efficient, safe, and cost-effective solutions. The system is built using 304/316 stainless steel, complies with HACCP, ISO22000, and GMP standards, and is suitable for export-oriented canned food production.

Key Benefits:

• Fully automated, from raw material pre-processing to final packaging

• Compatible with various can sizes and materials (tin, aluminum, glass)

• Ensures food safety and long shelf life

• Energy-efficient, easy to maintain, and scalable

2. Production Process Flow

The automatic canned beans production line covers all stages of bean processing, ensuring a smooth and hygienic workflow:

Step 1: Sorting & Washing

• Beans are sorted using vibratory or optical sorting machines to remove impurities, stones, and broken beans.

• Bubble washing and high-pressure spray systems clean beans thoroughly.
  Benefits: Consistent raw material quality, reduced manual labor, and hygienic operations.

Step 2: Soaking & Blanching

• Beans are soaked in hot water or steam blanchers to achieve the desired softness.

• Blanching helps preserve color, texture, and nutrients while reducing microbial load.
  Benefits: Optimal bean texture for filling and cooking, uniform flavor, improved shelf life.

Step 3: Cooking & Flavoring

• Automatic steam-jacketed cooking kettles or pressure cookers cook beans to the required tenderness.

• Optional sugar, salt, tomato sauce, or other flavorings can be added via automatic dosing systems.
  Benefits: Consistent taste and texture, flexible recipe adaptation, enhanced product quality.

Step 4: Filling & Brine Injection

• Servo-driven filling machines accurately fill beans and brine into cans, jars, or plastic containers.

• Compatible with different container sizes (100–500g) and types (tin, glass, aluminum).
  Benefits: Precise portion control, reduced material waste, and high production efficiency.

Step 5: Seaming (Can Sealer)

• High-speed vacuum can seamers seal cans airtight to prevent contamination and leakage.

• Ensures durability for storage and export.
  Benefits: Reliable packaging, extended shelf life, suitable for export markets.

Step 6: Sterilization (Retort)

• Steam or water spray retorts sterilize the canned beans, eliminating microbial contamination.

• PID-controlled temperature and pressure ensure uniform sterilization.
  Benefits: Compliant with HACCP and ISO22000, safe and stable products.

Step 7: Cooling & Drying

• Cans are rapidly cooled in water or air tunnels to maintain texture and prevent overcooking.

• Drying removes excess moisture before labeling.
  Benefits: Ensures product quality and consistency.

Step 8: Labeling & Packaging

• Automatic labeling machines print batch codes and apply labels precisely.

• Cartoning, shrink-wrapping, and palletizing systems prepare products for retail or export.
  Benefits: Professional packaging, increased market competitiveness, reduced manual handling.

3. Key Technical Features

• Full Automation: PLC-based control with touchscreen interface for real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure, and production data.

• Hygienic Design: All contact parts made of food-grade stainless steel; smooth welding and polished surfaces prevent bacterial growth.

• Energy-Efficient: Steam heat recovery and optimized electric heating reduce operational costs by up to 20%.

• Flexible & Modular: Expandable modules for pre-processing, filling, sterilization, or packaging as needed.

• CIP (Clean-in-Place) System: Automatic cleaning of all equipment reduces downtime and manual labor.

• Data Traceability: Recording system for temperature, pressure, and production batches ensures compliance with food safety regulations.

4. Applications & Product Types

The Canned Beans Production Line is suitable for producing a variety of bean-based products:

• Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce

• Red Kidney Beans

• Chickpeas / Garbanzo Beans

• Green Peas / Lentils

• Black Beans / White Beans

• Mixed Bean Products

Compatible packaging formats:
