Solo by the numbers

Can throughput

Up to 12 cans per minute / 720 cans per hour / 5760 cans per day depending on how long your day is.

Learning curve

Minutes to learn and under three hours from unboxing to first can.

Financial benefits

For an operation producing 10K cans per month, annual cost saving vs mobile canning = $61K which is less than an 18 months payback period on the basic machine cost. See ROI page for details.

What brewers are saying.

"We have had some seamer issues (leaking seams, occasionally cans go soft) and low-fill issues.We have not been catching all of them at the brewery. Once these hit our wholesaler, we discover the problems are worse than we realized.

We keep finding bad beer on store shelves and we are getting messages from consumers who bought bad cans in stores." - via Reddit

FAQs

We're sure you will have further questions.

Find your answer here, or contact our technical sales team to discuss further.

Is the ZANZ SOLO upgradable?
Faq Icon

The ZANZ SOLO will have an upgrade kit (planned for 2027) which will increase capacity by up to 3x. This will allow you to grow your operation, maximising your profitability and product quality, then simply upgrade the machine. Most small machines on the market are not upgradable.

Furthermore, the ZANZ SOLO can support any beverage type and any can sizes, so you can diversify your operation from a single machine rather than needing several machines.

How are you confident that you minimise dissolved oxygen, preserving freshness?
Faq Icon

Our machine has been rigorously designed and tested over 5 years with 4 brewers. We have consistently improved and refined our packaging quality to ensure Dissolved Oxygen DO levels are class leading.   Furthermore our cans have been shipped to China, knocked around in a shipping container for weeks, and still maintained excellent seaming integrity.

I have limited space in my brewery and chiller. How can you help?
Faq Icon

Because the ZANZ SOLO can be operated by anyone it allows you to can on demand when your beer is ready and your customer wants it. This means you can operate in a smaller facility and supply "just in time".

This also means less chiller space is required, lowering your chiller costs. To top it all off, with a 60cm x70cm footprint, the SOLO is the smallest machine in its class so with the optional trolley it can be moved around the facility and tucked into a corner when not in use.

What are the benefits of a counter pressure machine?
Faq Icon

Counter-pressure filling preserves carbonation by equalising pressure between the filler and the beverage, significantly reducing CO₂ breakout and foaming during filling. By purging and pressurising the can with CO₂ before filling, it minimises dissolved oxygen pickup (consistently <25ppb), improving flavour stability, product consistency, and shelf life. This controlled filling process delivers more accurate fill levels, reduces product loss and rejects, and enables reliable high-speed operation, making it ideal for carbonated beverages such as beer, seltzers, soft drinks, and RTDs.

The SOLO is the only machine on the market at this price point which offers counter pressure filling.

You say "up to" 12 Cans per minute. What does this mean?
Faq Icon

The ZANZ Solo utilises AI-controlled filling technology that employs multiple sensors to sample and optimise every can in real-time. The machine automatically adjusts to variables such as liquid temperature and carbonation levels. If the system detects potential foaming or filling issues, it will micro-adjust the speed to guarantee the lowest possible Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and ensure wastage remains at our industry-leading standard of 0.3%.

For a low viscosity beverage it will achieve 12 CPM throughput. The machine runs as fast as your specific beverage allows without ever compromising the integrity of the product.

It's important to note that the CPM rating of all machines on the market should say "up to" but with the automation of the ZANZ Solo you are more likely to achieve the maximum throughput faster and more effectively than with a manual operator.

Is my data private and secure? How is it used?
Faq Icon

Yes. Security and reliability are integral to the ZANZ architecture. Our software environment utilises encryption to protect the system, and we deliver Over-the-Air security and software updates to ensure your machine remains protected and up to date.

We use data to empower your production in four key ways:

1. Anonymised data is used to train our AI: This benefits all of our customers. All production data from our existing customers over the past 4 years has trained our models.  
2. Proactive Support & Maintenance: ZANZ uses remote back-end monitoring to track machine reliability. This allows us to propose service cycles, suggest preventative maintenance, and upgrade your system remotely, ensuring you aren't left guessing about machine health.
3. Production Insights: To support your consistency and creativity, the system stores beverage profiles and all canning data on a database. This provides your team with access to your can tracking and production data.
4. Continuous Improvement: We evaluate anonomised user analytics to continuously prototype and create better, more intuitive experiences for your operators.

Think of it like a modern F1 pit crew monitoring the car's telemetry remotely; we watch the diagnostics to keep you racing at top speed, but you remain in the driver's seat.
