2. Initial Startup Procedures
a. It is up to the purchaser to have a licensed electrician properly connect the CraftCan to power.
b. Once connected, the CraftCan can be powered by turning the red on/off handle to “I” on the electrical
box
i. The HMI will power to the ABE home screen
ii. You can now familiarize yourself with the various screens
c. The main air can be connected to the back of the machine with a male 1/2" quick connect.
d. The CO2 pressure regulator at the machine for CO2 Pulse should be set at 60 PSI. Main line air pressure
regulator should be set at 100 PSI and operates at 100 psi +/- 10 psi. The machine will stop if the
pressure falls out of either range because ABE wants to make sure you have the best possible canning
experience possible. Insufficient air demands will not allow for an optimal experience.
3. CIP Procedures
a. The CraftCan System has the ability for CIP. The tubing is rated for up to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. To
start CIP, place cans below the nozzles, and hit “CIP” on the “Main” screen (Figure 1). The nozzle cylinder
will extend and the nozzles will open. The CIP time duration can be altered as needed. It is in seconds.
i. NOTE: If your nozzles extend downward, and then come right back up, please check that your
CIP time has not yet reached zero. If it has, please enter a new CIP time value.
b. It is up to the brewery to ensure proper CIP procedures. Not performing proper CIP procedures may lead
to an unsafe consumable. A typical CIP process may look similar to the following:
i. Powdered Brewer’s Wash
ii. Flush canning lines with water
iii. Caustic Acid # 5
iv. Flush canning line out with water
v. Saniclean (temp not as important)
1. Can soak machine in SaniClean
