Tipping Dents
Let's be honest, it's Friday afternoon, you're stacking cases on a pallet toward the end of a 600 case run and the only thing you can think about is heading straight from work to go camping... whoops... I dropped this one! Tipping dents aren't something we want on a liquor store shelf, but they look just fine in a koozie next to a bonfire. Many times they can be misconstrued as damage caused during the seaming process, but this is not the case.
Order Of Operations:
Many times this happens as cans are leaving the seamer, check screw timing to make sure the screw is not kicking them out before they are fully set back down.
If the lifter is coming back down too slowly, an adjustment may be necessary at the needle valve on the base of the piston. CW will close the needle valve for slower movement, CCW will open it for faster movement.
If your line has an accumulation table, cans may be falling at this point as well. Use a VFD to match speeds to reduce tipping.
