10. Height Changeover
Your machine already comes with the ability to change from 12 oz cans to 16 oz cans and vice-versa. The main changes
required include adjusting the height of the:
1. nozzle cylinder height
2. lid-escapement height
3. lid-skimmer height
4. seamer
All of these changes are height based as long as the can diameter, 202/211, remains the same. If you change to a larger
or smaller diameter, other changes may be required. Your machine can also fill and seam 24 oz cans. Several other
modifications may be required. Please contact ABE for more information.
a. Nozzle Cylinder Height
There is a sensor at the top of the cylinder’s stroke, as well as the bottom. When adjusting for different height cans,
typically only the top sensor is adjusted. Therefore, the top sensor needs to light up at the end of the cylinder’s stroke.
The sensor uses an allen-key to loosen and fasten in the cylinder’s translating slot. The sensors are shown below. NOTE:
Do not over tighten these sensors.
