3 GENERAL MACHINE SERVICE
Like any other piece of equipment, new car or tractor, your canning machine needs
to be cleaned, lubricated and periodically serviced. Screws loosen, Filters plug up
with contaminates, sensors vibrate out of adjustment and seam tooling wears. It is
important to assign a technician to learn the system and take good care of it.
•Prior to each use, all screws and sensors should be checked for tightness.
•During each use seams should be checked at least every 200 cans to assure
that bad cans are not being made due to worn out or loose tooling.
•Drain beer from fill line and run sanitizer through it after use. Thoroughly clean
fill level sensors and spray with alcohol.
•Following each use, the entire machine should be hosed off (no pressure
washers). A bucket of warm water and dawn soap should be prepared, and the
machine be scrubbed with a soft plastic bristled bush. All water spots should be
polished off using vinegar and rags.
•After cleaning a food grade zero weight grease
(http://www.mcmaster.com/#1242k11/=125v2xd) needs to be applied to all
conveyor bearing zerk fittings. There are 3 conveyor bearings on the main line,
and 4 on the add-on conveyor. Zerk location showed circle red below.
