Test Method:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Each of the can sizes were firstly \u2018wetted\u2019 by placing them in a bucket of water, and then allowed to drain for approximately 2 seconds.<\/p>\n

The water was wiped off the top and sides of the can and weighed to give our technicians a clear indication of how much water was on each of the cans. This procedure was carried out three times for each can in order to produce an average weight. Please note, the bottom of the can was not weighed at any stage as we were not drying this surface.<\/p>\n

Cans were conveyed in blocks of four with cans touching. The line speed was calculated using 15 cans which was approximately 1 metre long. A setting on the inverter was chosen and the cans were timed to see how long 15 cans took to pass a point. This figure was then used to calculate how many would pass in one hour.<\/p>\n

After one pass through the systems the weight of the water left on the top of the can was recorded. The sides were wiped and with the same tissue immediately after to give a dried total weight. These figures were then used to record the average volume of water left on top of the can in millilitres, and the percentage of dryness level of the can.<\/p>\n

Test Summary:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The \u2018Cb-C\u2019 Can Drying System performed very well, even at relatively fast line speeds for the craft and micro-brewery operations. During testing, the system was also very easy to operate \u2013 at no point during the testing did it become difficult to adjust or \u2018jam up\u2019.<\/p>\n

At approximately 6,000 can per hour, the minimum dryness level was 98.1% with 4.2ml on the lid. The industry standard for water left on the lid is 7ml maximum, so ACI\u2019s \u2018Cb-C\u2019 system is well within this performance limits.<\/p>\n

As craft\/micro-brewery line speeds are relatively low compared to mass produced beers, there may\u00a0 be occasions when cans do not pass through the dryer in block. This situation was replicated during our testing with the tallest and most vulnerable can (568ml).\u00a0 The cans passed through safely with none falling over.

Test Summary:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\r\nThe \u2018Cb-C\u2019 Can Drying System performed very well, even at relatively fast line speeds for the craft and micro-brewery operations. During testing, the system was also very easy to operate \u2013 at no point during the testing did it become difficult to adjust or \u2018jam up\u2019.\r\n\r\nAt approximately 6,000 can per hour, the minimum dryness level was 98.1% with 4.2ml on the lid. The industry standard for water left on the lid is 7ml maximum, so ACI\u2019s \u2018Cb-C\u2019 system is well within this performance limits.\r\n\r\nAs craft\/micro-brewery line speeds are relatively low compared to mass produced beers, there may\u00a0 be occasions when cans do not pass through the dryer in block. This situation was replicated during our testing with the tallest and most vulnerable can (568ml).\u00a0 The cans passed through safely with none falling over.\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.aircontrolindustries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Cb-C-Cut-Out-1.jpg\" align_tablet=\"center\" align_phone=\"\" align_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.aircontrolindustries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_2042-1.jpg\" align_tablet=\"center\" align_phone=\"\" align_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]
