To meet the high demand for canned craft beer, Summit Brewing Co. chose Douglas Machine’s compact, economical and efficient Vantra IM cartoner with its expandable size range.
The Vantra IM expands the brewery’s offering to include 12, 24 and 30 pack cartons of cans at speeds up to 50 cartons per minute. Tom Thomasser, Chief Operations Officer of Summit Brewing Co. says, “I’ve bought and installed every piece of machinery in this brewery, and this was by far the best startup I’ve ever been through. Our efficiencies exceeded expectations from day one. I would definitely buy another Douglas machine.”
