2 MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
●For safety purposes you should plug your machine into a 110v 20 amp GFCI
outlet. Please note that the motors use a V.F.D. (variable frequency drive) to
convert 110v single phase to 220 volt, 3 phase power. The type of GFCI
commonly purchased in a big box store will not work. A licensed electrician with
experience in motor control should be contracted to perform the work.
●Clean dry air supply to the machine. Below is one we would suggest.
o http://www.smcusa.com/products/idfb-refrigerated-air-dryer.aspx o Model IDF
B3E-11N should be adequate. Consult your local SMC representative prior
to purchase.
o Failure to provide dry air will destroy valves and void the warranty.
o The Air Regulator on the machine is to be set at 80 P.S.I. If your
pressure needle jumps around during operation, you will need to supply
a surge tank near the machine.
●CO 2delivery system that is regulated to 18 P.S.I. This line should have
a standard quick connect for hooking up to the filler head.
●Water supply for rinse tunnel, and pre-rinse if applicable. Simple garden hose
connection. Water supply should not exceed 55 psi.
●1 ½ Tri-clamp product supply line from brite tank, preferably insulated
●34°F product @ 2.64 Co2 @ 15 PSI head pressure (head pressure will vary
and a longer line set may be required when running high gravity, high IBU
double IPA beer)
●1 ¹⁄ ” Tri-clamp with sanitizer to rinse filler valves (pump kit is supplied)
3 GENERAL MACHINE SERVICE
Like any other piece of equipment, like a 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.
