A method for manufacturing and filling a composite can (201), the method comprising: —forming a tubular body (203) by bending a body blank (16) and bringing two opposing edges of the body blank (16) together in an end-to-end join; —sealing the join by welding a sealing strip (214) over the join, thereby forming an intermediate can (403; 503); —sealing a top opening (211) by attaching a top sealing member (227) across the top opening (211); —applying a top rim (223) to the intermediate can (403; 503) by welding an inserted part of the top rim (223) to the inner surface of the tubular body (203); —turning the intermediate can (403; 503) upside-down and placing the intermediate can (403; 503) on a conveyor (2a) with the top rim (223) resting on the conveyor (2a); filling the intermediate can (403; 503) through the bottom opening (213); —sealing the bottom opening (213) of the tubular body (203) by attaching a bottom sealing member (215) across the bottom opening (213); —turning the intermediate can (403; 503) to bring the top rim (223) in an upward-facing position; —attaching a reclosable lid (221) at the top end of the tubular body (203). The intermediate can is kept in a protective gas atmosphere from said filling of said intermediate can until said bottom opening (213) of said tubular body (203) has been sealed. An assembly line (1) for manufacturing and filling of composite cans (201) is also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to an attachment unit for attaching a container element to a container body. The attachment unit comprises a retaining device adapted to retain the container body while the container element is being attached to the container body and an applicator for positioning the container element in the container body. The retaining device comprises at least one through-going positioning cavity being adapted to receive a portion of the container body. The applicator is aligned with the positioning cavity, such that the container element is displaceable by means of the applicator into the container body by moving at least partly through the positioning cavity of the retaining device. The attachment unit comprises an internal housing arranged to provide and maintain a protective gas atmosphere above the positioning cavity of the retaining device. The internal housing is adapted to at least partly enclose the applicator.
