Our Twin Monkeys canning systems use a 3 prong NEMA L5-30 30AMP 125V plug. It requires a 30AMP circuit dedicated to the canning line. Our air compressor uses a 3 prong NEMA L6-30 30AMP 250V plug, and also requires its own dedicated 30AMP circuit. If the client has a compressor on site that can produce 125 PSI at 16 cubic feet per minute, consistently throughout the run, then we do not need to use our compressor. All other ancillary equipment requires standard power.<\/p>\n
Please confirm if you have bulk C02. We will bring our own C02 and air compressor as a backup, but we generally prefer hooking into bulk tanks if you have them. The CO2 source should not be farther than 25 feet from the canning line. Tripod provides a \u00bc inch NPT male quick connect for easy hookup. Client must provide incoming CO2 line with \u00bc\u201d NPT female quick connect.<\/p>\n
A clean potable water source is required at each canning location. Hoses and a spray nozzle are also required. Water is used to clean the cans pre\/post-fill, and to clean equipment once the entire canning process is complete.<\/p>\n
Proper drainage is required around\/below the canning location.<\/p>\n
Our equipment is modular, therefore we have some flexibility with regard to set up within your facility. A flat 8’x20′ workspace within 15′ of finished ready-to-can beverage is best. Proper drainage near (and preferably under) the system is a must. A loading dock or rollup door is preferred for entry into your facility.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
Tripod requires a minimum of two (2) client employees to assist with applying Pak-Tech can carriers, packing material assembly, and finished product pallet stacking. Client is responsible for assigning a lead representative responsible for overseeing the canning process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n
The most important factor when canning beer is capping on foam.\u00a0 Package ready beer must have a proper balance of CO2 volumes and temperature to promote a nice foam.\u00a0 This will keep oxygen out of the head space, and dissolved oxygen levels low.\u00a0 That said, the more volumes of CO2 the beverage contains, the lower the temp needs to be in your brite tank or fermenter.\u00a0 Both variables cannot be pushed at once.\u00a0 More specific guidelines are below:<\/p>\n
If client has not maintained their beverage in these conditions, Tripod cannot guarantee the canning process will result in satisfactory fill rates or levels, and reserves the right to postpone the canning. If the client’s beverage contains pulp or is otherwise unfiltered, client will bleed off excess yeast, hop, and\/or other sediment prior to connecting to the canning line. (Note: It is not uncommon to keg off a couple half barrels to clear the lines when canning an unfiltered beverage.)<\/p>\n
Other Alcoholic Beverage Specifications<\/strong> – Please contact us for more details.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n The Tripod fillers are coupled to a manifold with standard one and one half inch (1.5″) tri-clamp facility approved fittings. Tripod can use one (maximum sized 15 foot long) brewer’s hose with standard 1.5″ tri-clamp connections to connect to the facility’s brite tanks. Tripod requires a one and one half inch (1.5″) connection and brewery fittings on all tanks utilized during canning day operations.\u00a0 Head pressure in the tank of 10-15psi will help with the rate of filling.<\/p>\n \u200b[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][heading]What are our…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6030","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tripodcanning.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tripodcanning.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tripodcanning.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tripodcanning.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tripodcanning.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6030"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/www.tripodcanning.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6030\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6071,"href":"http:\/\/www.tripodcanning.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6030\/revisions\/6071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tripodcanning.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Beverage Lines (when filling):<\/h3>\n
