During the whole process of steam supply, the outer surface of the cans is blown by a stream of air at a speed of 5–6 m/s, heated to a temperature of 110–120 °C. After that, a syrup with a temperature of 95–97 °C is poured into the cans, they are preliminary rolled by covers and heated in a stream of air at a temperature of 150 °C and a speed of 6.5–7 m/s for 5 minutes.
