Hi all,
We have recently come into ownership of a second hand Cask MCS system of one of the previous generations; such that Cask no longer has support, manuals, or specifications for it, and are not particularly helpful beyond offering to sell us a new model. This older system was initially designed for a 12oz can, but we are changing that to a 473ml can with the same diameter.
The issue I am running into is with regards to the seaming process; the rollers and chuck are different than Cask's current generation, and I can only find recent seam specifications; does any one have archived seam specs or know where I can get some? As we are, we can seam cans, and have them hold pressure with warm beer inside with no apparent loss, but the hook lengths are about half the length of those from a modern Cask line. Without a benchmark it is difficult to feel comfortable saying 'good enough' and sending cans to market.
I've attached a picture of the seaming unit, I've occasionally seen these models crop up on the forums but they are few and far between.
Thanks in advance for your help!
