I've had a 5 head ACS for about 4 years now and in the last 6 months it's become extremely problematic. We've had major seaming issues and now foaming issues. Below is an explanation of what I see and some questions/requests I have asked Cask for. Does anyone have such advice or information to hand?
I'm not the person that fixes our line but I have been observing my guys recently and have some questions. I have searched in the manual for answers but haven't found any.
We're having a lot of issues with foaming on the canning line. At the moment only fill head 1 is working perfectly. The other 4 are generally foaming too much. The odd thing is that independently when you press the all fill button some of them will clear and then start to foam again.
Should the front fill tube run clear when the all fill button is pressed?
It's the front fill tubes that show the foam.
I have noticed that when the front tube is wiggled the foam will stop but usually starts again. Any explanation for this?
The back line to fill head 1 has been swapped with the #2 but the foaming issue didn't clear.
We take apart the fill head manifold regularly to clean the innards. This is done when we switch from beer to other beverages to change the O rings to prevent any cross-contamination.
Is this something other customers do without issue?
Would disassembling and reassembling cause issues?
When reassembling are there some guidelines we should follow?
Are there measurements that should be taken for correct alignment?
Is there any documentation out there?
Regarding the 'bullets' and springs.
What observational signs are there that these may be worn and in need of replacement?
is there any documentation that explains how the bullets, springs and foam and fill operation works in detail?
Thanks
