Wild Goose, an innovator in the realm of craft canning and bottling systems, has introduced the Spirit line of canning machines. The newly launched canning machines, namely the Gosling Spirit™ and the Evolution Series Spirit™, are optimised for improved availability across all sizes of aluminium cans.
One of the notable features of the Spirit line is its compatibility with the increasingly popular single-serving 100-millilitre steel can format. These machines are designed to meet the unique needs of distilleries, providing advanced technology and precision in the canning process.
"We have seen a lot of parallels between craft distilleries and craft breweries. Wild Goose was a pioneer in craft beer canning, selling our first systems to brewers in 2011. Now, with the availability of smaller can sizes suited for spirits, similar demand is emerging in the craft distilling space. Although canned cocktails and liquor are on the periphery of mainstream sales right now, this an increasingly viable format for the future," said Dan Welch, general manager of Wild Goose Filling.
This innovative series is tailored specifically for distilleries. It enables them to efficiently package beverages, including carbonated cocktails, still liquor, and other high-proof, ready-to-drink concoctions. This strategic design caters to current market trends and creates fresh opportunities for craft distilleries to enhance their product offerings and market presence.
With the Spirit line, Wild Goose Filling aims to empower craft distilleries to efficiently and cost-effectively package their diverse range of beverages, tapping into the growing demand for high-quality, ready-to-drink options. As the industry evolves and consumer preferences shift, the Spirit line positions itself as a valuable asset for distilleries looking to stay competitive and innovative in the ever-changing beverage landscape.
Operating at speeds of up to 14 cans per minute, this entry-level packaging solution offers simplicity in operation and maintenance, all at an affordable price point. The Gosling Spirit system boasts a distinctive design, featuring an all-black exterior with smoked guarding.
Primarily designed for higher-volume distilleries, co-packaging facilities, and other environments where flexibility in can sizes and speed are critical, the Evolution Series Spirit system offers an advanced solution. By building on the proven foundation of the Evolution Series, Wild Goose continues to provide cutting-edge technology to meet the evolving needs of the beverage industry, ensuring efficiency and adaptability for a diverse range of distilling and packaging requirements.
"Cans present a new one- or two-serving selling format for distilleries. Cans are portable and infinitely recyclable, a perfect option where plastic or glass may not be suitable or sustainable. The eco-friendly packaging, responsible sizes and differentiation from bottles give craft distilleries an edge in distinguishing themselves and expanding their sellable portfolio of products," added Welch.
Complementing the latest Spirit systems, Wild Goose provides a comprehensive turnkey solution for distillery packaging equipment. This inclusive package encompasses tanks sourced from Ss Brewtech and labellers supplied by Pack Leader USA. Wild Goose aims to streamline the distillery packaging process by offering a complete solution, ensuring a seamless integration of cutting-edge canning systems with top-quality tanks and labellers. This holistic approach enhances operational efficiency and underscores Wild Goose's commitment to providing distilleries with a one-stop solution for their packaging needs.
