Brine dosing machine: precise, even dosing of brine into cans
Piston system with precise timing
In canning, the amount of brine in each can directly affects taste, shelf life and even the net weight of the product. If the amount varies from can to can, product quality is inconsistent and part of the brine is wasted. The Nano Machine brine dosing machine uses a piston system with precise timing to dose a fixed, defined amount of brine into every can.
Brine is corrosive, so equipment in contact with it must be highly resistant. That is why the Nano Machine brine dosing machine is built from 316 stainless steel, which resists corrosion from salt and acids. This extends the service life of the machine and lowers maintenance costs.
How does a brine dosing machine work?
In a canning line, the brine dosing machine is placed after the filler and before the exhaust box and the can seamer. To learn more about the role of salt in food preservation, see the Salt article on Wikipedia.
Preparing the brine
The automatic mixer prepares an even brine solution and prevents the salt from settling.
Pumping to the nozzles
The even solution is pumped to the dosing nozzles with no sediment.
Piston dosing
The piston system, with precise timing, doses a fixed amount of brine into each can.
Synchronised with line speed
Dosing is synchronised with the movement of the cans on the conveyor, so no can passes without brine or with too much.
Can discharge
The filled cans move on to the next stage for exhausting and seaming.
Brine dosing machine price

Brine dosing machine technical specifications
The Nano Machine brine dosing machine is built with a capacity of 150 cans per minute, 3 kW power, dimensions of 2500 × 2000 × 2300 mm and a weight of about 1100 kg. The technical specifications can be customised to suit the line capacity, the can size and the type of solution.
Automatic mixer: an even solution with no sediment
A common problem in brine dosing is salt settling in the tank. When this happens, the concentration of the solution changes during the shift and cans filled at the start and the end of the shift taste different. The automatic mixer of the Nano Machine brine dosing machine keeps the solution continuously even and pumps it to the nozzles without sediment.
The result is a constant brine concentration in every can, the same product taste throughout production and no nozzle blockages caused by salt build-up. This raises quality and reduces unplanned line stoppages.
In practice, many customer complaints about canned food being too salty or bland come down to changes in brine concentration during the shift. By combining an automatic mixer with piston dosing, the Nano Machine brine dosing machine removes this variable from the process, so every can is produced to exactly the same recipe.
In addition, a constant volume of brine in each can keeps the headspace at the top of the can uniform. This matters in exhausting and seaming as well as in sterilisation, and it helps keep the quality and final appearance of the product consistent. In this way, the brine dosing machine is not just a simple doser but part of the quality control system of your canning line.
316 stainless steel: corrosion resistance and a long service life
316 stainless steel is far more resistant than ordinary stainless steels to corrosion from salt and acidic environments. Using this material in the brine dosing machine ensures durability in continuous work with a corrosive solution, keeps rust particles out of the product and keeps repair and replacement costs to a minimum.
- Precise, even dosing with a piston system and precise timing
- Corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel body
- Automatic mixer that prevents sediment
- Less brine waste
- Better product taste and shelf life
- Easy to operate and maintain

Applications of the brine dosing machine
The Nano Machine brine dosing machine can be used in any canning line where the product is packed in brine, including:
Tuna in brine
Dosing brine into tuna cans and other canned seafood.
Canned vegetables and legumes
Adding brine to canned peas, corn, beans and other vegetables.
Canned meat and mushrooms
Dosing the solution into canned meat and mushroom products to preserve taste and shelf life.
Other food products
Adding various liquid solutions to canned food products.
Impact on quality and productivity
Precise dosing keeps brine waste to a minimum, increases line speed and, by keeping the amount and concentration of the solution uniform, improves the taste and shelf life of the canned product. Combined with lower maintenance costs thanks to the 316 stainless steel body, these benefits lower the cost of every can.
For best maintenance, we recommend rinsing the tank and nozzles with fresh water at the end of each shift, inspecting the pistons and seals periodically and checking the dosing volume at the start of each shift. The Nano Machine after-sales team teaches this routine during commissioning, and spare parts are supplied for up to ten years. Preparing the brine at a fixed concentration and recording its recipe also helps keep the product taste the same across all production batches.
Why the Nano Machine brine dosing machine?
Nano Machine builds complete canned fish production lines, from fish cooking blanchers and fillers to brine dosing machines, oil dosing machines, exhaust boxes and can washing machines. The brine dosing machine is designed to work together with this equipment, based on experience from projects in Iran and exports to Turkey and the Persian Gulf countries.
Summary for production managers
With a precise piston system, an automatic mixer, a 316 stainless steel body and a capacity of 150 cans per minute, the Nano Machine brine dosing machine makes brine dosing even, economical and durable, and safeguards the quality and shelf life of your canned products.
