BOTTLES ARE FULL BUT EXCESSIVE TIME FOR FILL HEAD TO
RETRACT:
A)
Low pressure needs adjustment to a higher value.
B)
Product temperature is too high for bottling.
C)
Pressure sensor failure. (See sensor check section of this manual.)
5.
BOTTLES ARE BROKEN DURING CROWNING, OR FILL
TUBES ARE FREQUENTLY PUSHED UP WHEN FILL HEAD
PLUNGES:
A)
Check bottle indexing and fill head alignment per instructions in this
manual.
B)
Check with bottle manufacture for possible changes in bottle dimensions
or bottles improperly tempered.
6.
BOTTLES START TO FILL, THEN MACHINE INDEXES A NEW
ROW OF BOTTLES AND PARTIALLY FILLS THOSE,
REPEATEDLY
:
A)
Pressure on dispensing tank is too low. Increase dispensing pressure.
B)
Fill sensor is set too low, increase fill sensor value.
7.
BOTTLES DO NOT FILL AND PRODUCT VALVE DOES NOT
OPEN
:
A)
CO
2
pressure to the bottling machine is low or flow is restricted. CO
2
pressure at the machine should always be set at 25 psi and liquid line
pressure should be less than 20 psi while operating. When this failure
occurs the “Counter Pressure Fail” message will be displayed on the
operator interface.
8.
COMPUTER REGISTERS A CPU FAULT:
A)
The most common cause of this problem is a power surge of the electrical
circuit where the bottling machine is plugged. If you experience a CPU
fault, shut off the machine for 1 minute, then turn the power back on. The
computer will automatically reboot the program. Repeated power surges
can cause permanent damage to the computer and should be corrected.
NOTE: If electrical surges are experienced, Meheen Manufacturing
recommends installing a good quality surge suppresser.
