Depress:
a. PAUSE
b. BELT
c. SEAM
d. RUN-MODE (There is a 5 second delay after pressing run-mode)
e. PAUSE (To open Gate)
i. When “Run Mode” is depressed, cans will begin the filling and seaming process.
ii. A typical cycle occurs as follows:
1. Inlet gate opens
2. Cans are counted in (displayed on Main Screen, Figure 1)
3. Once “Cans Per Fill Cycle” equals “Cans In”, in-let gate closes
4. Fill nozzles with probes come down into can
5. The Co2 purge cycle turns on with a time duration equal to the time setting “Purge
on Time”
6. Once “Purge on Time” has completed, the fill cycle will start and finish filling once
the probe debounce time and extend fill time has been exceeded. Once the probe
debounce has been exceeded, the nozzles will start to rise out of the can and also
the nozzles will go into extend fill mode.
iii. NOTE: The air pressure must be above the minimum value specified to
operate your machine. The air pressure monitor, on your front panel, Figure
1, displays this value. If your pressure drops below the minimum, your
machine will stop filling and seaming. The integrity of your seams may be
compromised if the pressure drops below the recommended. Your machine
will wait for your compressor to catch up before canning may resume.
iv. Note: The “PAUSE” button is on the main screen to prevent cans from
entering the filler. You may press this button at any time to prevent more
cans from entering the filler
v. Note: You may also prevent can movement, at any time, by pressing the
“CONVEYOR” button.
B. Your machine comes fully tested with reliable time settings. If you wish, you may
alter the time settings. There is a security code to do so.
a. Note: Altering time settings can negatively affect your canning line
performance if the value deviates from the setting provided to you from the
factory.
C. The CraftCan has the ability to change fill times on the fly. To do so, you may
increase or decrease your fill levels by going to the Timing Screen and hitting the
“All Fill Extend” button (Figure 3. Individual Nozzle Tunings). This will allow you to
numerically increase or decrease the amount of product which enters the can.
D. Adjustment of the probe debounce time and nozzle offset (Figure 3).
a. Probe debounce will control how long the probe must sense beer before the
nozzle starts rising out of the can and the extend fill time starts. If the time
setting is too low, the nozzle will rise out too quickly before the can is full (a
