5. Cleaning
a. If the canning line will not be run for longer than 5 minutes, low pressure hot water must be used to
rinse off all beer from the machine. Failure to rinse off any beer will result in poor machine performance
and ultimately a poor finished product. Beer is very sticky and will keep the cylinders from smoothly
operating. Keeping cylinders clean will prolong the life of the machine
b. With exception to the electrical box in the rear of the machine and valve manifolds, the CraftCan system
is designed for filling applications where systems are routinely exposed to gentle wash down, certain
chemicals, moisture, and humidity. It is important to understand the areas on or around the electrical
box, or its components, should not be exposed to liquids such as beer and water. Similarly, valve
manifolds should not have direct exposure to liquids such as beer and water. Every effort must be made
to avoid spraying of liquid in the electrical box vents or near any of the valve manifolds. Failure to
adhere to these restrictions may negatively affect components and hinder the performance of your
CraftCan system.
c. Without continuous cleaning, your system will stop functioning properly. Please continue to clean all
areas where beer rests. You can use a low pressure hot water in all areas except for the electrical
cabinet on the backside of the machine and the air manifolds.
d. After the cylinders have been cleaned with warm water and air dried, test the cylinders to see if they
operated smoothly. If they do not, spray an FDA approved silicon grease on the shafts.
e. Rinse off the conveyor belt with warm water.
f. Clean bottom lid pick area of lid chute. Make sure it is free of sticky beer. Lube when done.
