The ability to provide customized solutions is one of the hallmarks of Nelden Industry, manufacturer of bottling and canning systems based in Pavia. Founded in 2002 in Retorbido, the company quickly expanded, supplying complete filling and packaging lines for glass, PET bottles and cans.
Today exports represent up to 95% of turnover, with strong growth especially in canning and glass filling. “We are a hybrid between tailor-made craftsmanship and high automation,” explains sales manager Silviu Govoreanu.
Flexibility, specialization in beverages and a family-owned management are the main strengths that allow the company to build lasting customer relations.
Canning technology: Urano Cans
Nelden developed the “Urano Cans” series, an electro-volumetric isobaric filler handling cans from 120 ml to 1 liter, with outputs up to 80,000 cans/ hour. Key features include PED-certified isobaric tanks, compatibility with different seamers, volumetric valves based on mass or magnetic flow meters, suitability for both still and carbonated products, hot filling options, and lower maintenance thanks to fillers without lifting cylinders.
All canning monoblocks are available in “Ultra Clean” configuration with inclined stainless steel frames, total protections, HEPA filters and COP sanitization systems. The latest achievement is a highspeed model reaching 60,000 cans/hour with 500 ml cans coupled with an 8-head seamer synchronized by electronic axis.
Glass & PET: Giove and Urano series
Besides cans, Nelden offers filling monoblocks for glass and PET bottles, with speeds from 1,500 to 50,000 bph. Machines can be supplied as complete monoblocks (rinser, filler, capper) or as stand-alone fillers. Features include hot filling with product recirculation, easy maintenance and Ultra clean environment. Bottle handling is optimized through quickchange format parts or neck-handling systems for PET, minimizing adjustments.
The Giove series is designed for still and low-carbonated products, handling bottles from mignon up to 20+ liters of volume. Available technologies include mechanical gravity filling valves, electrogravimetric valves and volumetric or net weight filling valves based on flow meters or weighing cells.
The Urano series focuses on carbonated products, featuring PED-certified isobaric tanks and both mechanical or electropneumatic valves. The latter allow flexible filling sequences and recipe storage via PLC, while their volumetric version ensure high filling accuracy of PET bottles.
Mobile filling lines
A niche specialty is represented by mobile filling lines, where compact Nelden fillers are integrated into containers or truck trailers. These units, operable by just two people, are widely used in the beverages industry to provide flexible bottling services to small producers.
Conclusion
Nelden Industry is today recognized for complete bottling and packaging lines combining premium packaging, space optimization and reliable service. “Our solutions reduce waste, enable fast remote troubleshooting And upgrades implementation even years after installation,” concludes Jury Fagioli, in charge of sales engineering.
The company is ready to showcase its innovations and strengthen partnerships at Drinktec 2025 in Munich.
