Buying canned tuna equipment: from cooking to can preparation
A tuna production line is a series of stations, and the quality of the final product depends on how well they work together. That is why, before you buy tuna line equipment, your capacity, can type and hall space are reviewed so the machines are chosen as one integrated line, not separately. Nano Machine engineers do this review before purchase, free of charge.
Share your target capacity and can type with our engineers to receive a technical proposal and a factory-direct price for your tuna production line.
Technical specifications of the machines
The table lists the capacity, power and dimensions of the machines specific to the Nano Machine tuna production line. Full specifications of each machine are on its own page.
| Machine | Capacity | Power | Dimensions (L × W × H) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fish cooking blancher | 1000 kg per cycle | — | 320 × 180 × 350 cm | 1300 kg |
| Vertical tuna filler | 50 cans/min | 3 kW | 120 × 100 × 200 cm | 900 kg |
| Horizontal tuna filler | 120 cans/min | 6 kW | 420 × 197 × 210 cm | 2300 kg |
| Tuna oil doser | 150 cans/min | 2 kW | 250 × 200 × 230 cm | 1100 kg |
| Brine doser | 150 cans/min | 3 kW | 250 × 200 × 230 cm | 1100 kg |
| Exhaust box | 150 cans/min | 1 kW | 500 × 50 × 150 cm | 450 kg |
| Can washing machine | 150 cans/min | 5.5 kW | 500 × 80 × 200 cm | 550 kg |
Vertical or horizontal tuna filler?
The filler sets the capacity of a tuna production line. The vertical tuna filler runs at 50 cans/min, uses 3 kW and needs only 120 × 100 cm of floor space. The horizontal tuna filler runs at 120 cans/min and suits lines that need a higher capacity. The final choice is made in the line design, based on your target capacity.
Oil or brine: adding liquid to canned tuna
After filling, oil or brine is added to the can. The Nano Machine oil doser and brine doser both run at 150 cans/min and set the liquid volume of each can precisely. If you produce tuna both in oil and in brine, both machines can be included in the line design.
Which stages are done by hand?
Cleaning the cooked fish and separating the meat is done by hand. The can seamer is not made by Nano Machine; when needed, a seamer matched to your can size is supplied and installed in the line. All other stages, from the empty can depalletizer and fish cooking to the autoclave and palletizing, are handled by Nano Machine equipment.
What information is needed to request a line design?
- Target capacity in cans per minute or per shift
- Can type and size
- Product type: tuna in oil, in brine or both
- Length, width and height of the production hall
- Available electricity, steam and water
- Machines you already have on the line

The canned fish machines in operation
Where do I start when buying canned tuna equipment?
First, the production capacity, the can type and size, and the hall space are defined. Then Nano Machine’s experts propose the required machines and the line layout in a free consultation.
How much does a tuna production line cost?
The price depends on capacity, the number of stations and the level of automation. To get a direct factory price, fill in the price inquiry form or contact us.
What is the capacity of a canned tuna line in cans per minute?
The filler sets the line capacity: the vertical tuna filler handles 50 cans per minute and the horizontal filler 120. The oil doser, brine doser, exhauster and can washer run at 150 cans per minute, so they do not become a bottleneck after the filler. The fish cooking blancher cooks 1,000 kg of fish per cycle.
Vertical or horizontal tuna filler: which is better?
The vertical filler (50 cans per minute, 3 kW, 120 × 100 cm footprint) suits smaller halls and medium capacity. The horizontal filler (120 cans per minute) is chosen for higher capacity and needs more space (420 × 197 cm).
Do tuna in oil and tuna in brine need separate machines?
Yes. The oil doser and the brine doser are separate machines, each rated at 150 cans per minute. If you make both products, both machines are planned into the line design.
Can I buy just one machine from the canned fish line?
Yes. Any machine, such as the tuna filler, oil doser or exhauster, can be bought separately and added to an existing line. All machines come with a one-year warranty and ten years of after-sales service and spare parts.
Do you install and commission lines outside Iran?
Yes. Nano Machine sends technicians for installation and commissioning inside and outside Iran, including Turkey and the Persian Gulf countries.
Does Nano Machine deliver a complete canned tuna line?
Yes. Line design and the machines for every stage, from the empty can depalletiser, cooking, filling, oil and brine dosing and exhausting to the autoclave and palletiser, come from Nano Machine. The can seamer is sourced if needed, and the cooked fish is cleaned by hand.
