All Fully Automatic Cannular Canning Machines –Single Lane are calibrated and fitted with a B64
Chuck. The reason being is that the B64 can ends have a wider tolerance range compared to
VISY/CDLE or Super Can ends. Meaning that you will save money in the long term with maintenance
costs being heavily reduced and a greater consistency of cans that are within specification as a result
of wider double seam tolerances.
1.0 –Level your Cannular using a spirit level in relation to the
filling/seaming table.
The Fully Automatic Cannular features castor wheels with adjustable levelling feet allowing it to be
easily manoeuvred around on the castor wheels when the feet are fully raised or secured in position
by dropping the levelling feet.
It is important to level the filling/seaming table using a spirit level. Drop/Raise the levelling foot in
each corner of the Cannular to level out the machine. Rotate the red cog on the castor wheel
assembly to raise or lower the levelling feet.

2.0 - Identifying parts on the Cannular Single Lane Canning
System
2.1 - Beverage Line / Liquid Flow Meter
Inlet fitting 8mm OD Barb x 1/2” Female Threaded Fitting. The 6.35mm x 9.5mm EVABarrier can be
stretched over this fitting and secured with a clamp. Your beverage line will be attached here.
Please note we recommend to pre-chill your beverage down so that carbonation levels can remain
as steady as possible. We have found using a G40 set to -2°C with 2m of 5mm x 8mm EVABarrier
from Keg to G40, and a short line (1m) from the G40 to Cannular to be a suitable option. The more
insulation you give your liquid line, the better the temperature stability of your beverage.
Please note the gas pressure will change depending on your beverages carbonation level, ambient
temperature and desired finished CO2 level.

2.2 –Compressed Air Inlet
All pneumatic actuators and the Airblade Dryer run from the
air inlet shown below.
Inlet Fitting = 8mm OD Push In Fitting.
Requirements: The Cannular requires an inlet air pressure of
100psi (7 BAR) to function optimally.
The Filter / Water trap will need to be emptied on a regular
basis depending on your air quality.
All pneumatics are pre-lubricated, but you will be required to
fill the pneumatic oil reservoir with any light pneumatic tool
oil.
We recommend topping up the Pneumatic Oil Reservoir
periodically based on your use
e.g. -> Ozito Air Tool Oil (Bunnings).

2.3 –CO2 Inlet for Purging
Inlet Fitting = 8mm OD Push In Fitting.
We recommend not exceeding 3psi worth of CO2for the oxygen reducing purging pre-filling process.
Please note depending on your can volumes you may need to set the Timer Parameters in the PLC
longer or shorter.

2.4 –Sanitiser Inlet (Pre Can Filling Sanitiser Spray and Post Seam Spritz)
Inlet Fitting = 13mm OD Barb x 1/2" Male Thread
Please note: DO NOT EXCEED 15PSI, this silicone hosing cannot withstand large amounts of
pressure and will burst under pressures higher than 15PSI.

2.5 –Can Lid Dropper Apparatus
This section will require adjustment out of box if you are not using 500mL cans. For a complete
walkthrough process, the cans tested would ideally be filled with carbonated water. Or still water if
sparkling is not available.
Before adjusting the height of the can lid dropper you must disconnect the air supply to the unit.
2.5.1 - Manually drop a lid in from the magnetic block access port. Ring pull facing away from you.
2.5.2 –Unscrew / Loosen (to the point of falling off) the two retaining socket head screw caps on
each side of the can lid dropper apparatus. With the 5mm Allen key in your toolkit.
2.5.3 –Lower the apparatus to your desired can height. To test if the height is correct, push a can
through with your hands. The can should not jam on the next spring apparatus (foam dampener).
2.5.4 –Once your desired height is reached, tighten the retaining SHCS back in firmly.

2.6 –Can Platform Raising Apparatus
This section will require adjustment again if you are not using 500mL cans.
2.6.1 –Ensure your air supply is still turned off.
2.6.2 –Place the previous can you have tested with the lid dropping apparatus further forward onto
the can lifting platform.
2.6.3 –Unscrew the locking nut underneath the filling/seaming table that is connected to the
platform with a 32mm Spanner for the Bump Stop Shaft and a 24mm Spanner for the Locking Nut.
Depending on the can size you are using.
2.6.4 –Rotate the bump stop shaft further down with your hand. Its best to go further down than
you need.
2.6.5 –Now using a small amount of force, raise the shaft so that the can engages with the chuck.
This is easier to do with your hand cupping the base of the shaft.
2.6.6 –Once the can feels firm and in place, rotate the Bump Stop Shaft upwards until it touches the
piston block. Followed by the locking nut. Then use the two spanners again to tighten against each
other.
2.6.7 –Connect pressure and test in Paused/Manual Operation with “Canned Lift” Function. The can
should not get crushed, nor should it not be touching at all.

3.0 –Automatic Can seam testing (Using water)
3.1 –Adjust the fill amount in the Parameter Settings to what your fill level will be, and your
maximum volume. E.g., We filled 315mL, with 330mL being the max can value.
The water can come from a pressurised keg or from a tap.
3.2 –If you have adjusted from a 500mL Can you will need to increase the Timer Settings of the first
Can Raise Delay or else the First Operation roller will start to engage before the can is fully engaged
with the chuck.
This is crucial to setting up the Cannular system.
If you are not familiar with the functions of these Timers, it is best to take note of the default values
and adjust the setting you’re not familiar with up by to 10 seconds and run a can through. This will
then help you get a better understanding of what that timer function does.

4.0 –Beverage Filling in Automatic Mode
4.1 –It is recommended to can the beverages as cold as possible through a glycol chiller unit or from
a cold taproom with some sort of insulation to the Cannular.
Capping on foam is essential for reduced dissolved oxygen in your final product. Adjusting the First
Stage Fill in the Parameter settings may help this. But ultimately it will come down to adjusting how
the beverage is being dispensed to the Cannular. E.g., adjusting pressures, temperatures and the
length of hosing used.
From our testing we found that 2m of 5mm x 8mm EVAbarrier from a keg at 2.4 CO2 serving volume
connected to a G40 Icebank chiller, then a small 0.5m hose length of 5mm x 8mm.
That was then dispensed at approximately 25psi.
5.0 –Calibrating to Achieve Correct Double Seam Specification
on B64 Can ends
The Cannular Full Auto Canning Line should already be calibrated upon arrival however if it has gone
out of specification during transit or over the course of its life you may need to adjust the position of
the rollers to achieve a hermetic double seam which is within tolerances.
We recommend customers check the specifications on the seam every 50,000 cans or once a year to
ensure the cans remain within allowable tolerances. If you find that the seam measurements are
outside the allowable tolerances of a B64 seam then follow the instructions below to adjust the
position of the rollers in relation to the chuck.
5.1 –Setting the Roller Height (y-axis)
Undo the lock nut on the thread above the roller you need to adjust the height of.
Then adjust the height of the roller by rotating the thread clockwise or counter clockwise to the
desired height of the roller relative to the chuck. Then set the height by tightening the lock nut
firmly.
After adjusting the roller height and before operating the Cannular it is vital that you check that
the roller does not make contact with the chuck. To confirm this, disconnect the air supply to the
unit. Then manually push the roller towards the chuck (so that the piston is fully actuated) then spin
the roller with your hands to make sure it does not hit the chuck.

5.2 –Setting the Roller Gap (x-axis)
Before adjusting the x-axis gap of the roller, you must disconnect the air supply to the unit.
With the air disconnected manually push the roller towards the chuck.
Loosen the lock nut while holding the piston in position with the provided spanner.
Tighten or loosen the lock nut on the thread to adjust the stroke length of the piston. This stroke
length will correlate with how close the roller ends up to the chuck.
For example, a longer stroke length (less thread visible behind the piston) will result in the roller
being closer to the chuck.
After adjusting the roller gap and before operating the Cannular it is vital that you check that the
roller does not make contact with the chuck. To confirm this, disconnect the air supply to the unit.
Then manually push the roller towards the chuck (so that the piston is fully actuated) then spin the
roller with your hands to make sure it does not hit the chuck.
