Can't set the pressure gauge for spring pressure test
Hey guys
We were trying to test spring pressure, lifter raised, 2 spaces set (16 oz cans) marked 1.25 and 1.5
But the space between the chuck and the pressure gauge is not enough, we can't even put the top plate adapter for the chuck.
Maybe we don't have the right spacers ? We checked pin height and it's OK.

Head Retention in Cans
We are having quite a bit of difference in our head retention of our pilsner between keg and can.
Does anyone have any notes on how different settings and ways to create fob affect the head retention in a can?
Cheers

Hey mate,
There are many variables that will affect the head retention of your final beer. Without much information to go off of, I would first suggest checking your beer temps. The colder, the better. CO2 will be escaping the warmer the beer coming through is. We aim to pack at 1C, which lets us run faster.
Main things and setpoints we need to know to help you more:
-beer temp
-CO2 volumes/grams per liter (we keg at 4.8 g/L and pack at 5.4g/L or 2.4vol and 2.7vol, respectively)
-current fill throttle setting
-current pressure drop setting
-number of snift cycles and those times and throttle settings
-CO2 tank pressure setpoint on filler tank
If you can provide this info, you will definitely be more likely to get some helpful info.
Fill volume variations
Hey everyone, hope '24 treats ya well.
Just out of curiosity, what are your fill volumes looking like? In a 375mL can, we target 377g tared weight to hit that 375mL fill volume.
Importantly, what methods are you using to test this? Do you have equipment monitoring every can individually? Are you doing four or six pack average weights? Hourly checks of a can from each fill head? What methods of low fill detection are you using?
We have a (not fancy) x-ray that dectects a density drop when the liquid level is below a certain point and rejects the can. I've found that I have variations +/- 6g with one occasional low fill can that comes in at 362g-367g (not fill head specific). Am I expecting too much of the machine? I hear people say they have it dialed in with a +/-3g variance, but the same folks don't…

Hey mate, adding some pics/videos/specs will help everyone here out to give you some good guidance.
Timing could be off, could be physical drift in your screw, rails could be an issue as well as not having the can centered on your lift.
