Hi all,
We are looking at buying a used 6 head Meheen, and would like to know if anyone has done this and then modified it to a different bottle size (12oz to 14 or 16oz). A rep at Meheen told me to be careful, as it may cost as much to retrofit, a machine that was built for one size into one that bottles a different size bottle, as it would to buy new. How adjustable are they, before you have to buy new parts to fit a completely different bottle size?
Also, the bottles we will use will have a twist off (not a crown) poly cap. We will have to buy a separate torque bottle capper to put in line after it. Does anybody see any issues with this? While I'm on the topic are all the cappers that come with Meheens, (or any entry level for that matter) pry-off crown cappers only, or are there some twist off crown cappers as well?
Thanks for any and all help!
