Anyone with experience canning beverages with glitter?

We are reviewing a beverage project that contains glitter, and I wanted to see if anyone here has experience packaging this type of product on a CODI line.


Our main concern is cleaning after the run. We would like to know how difficult it is to fully remove the glitter and prevent it from appearing in the next production.


If anyone has experience with this type of product, it would be very helpful to know:


if standard CIP is enough or not

whether extra cleaning steps are needed

if glitter tends to stay in the filler or product path

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.

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.

Answer is, we don't have the right spacers, we need a 1" spacer

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.
