Joe101us Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Are you using the right shims had same problem had to chang my shims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Those spacers are causing it. Your bottles have an odd shape so you can try the thinner 212-2. Your bottles are skinny at the bottom but still 20 oz so they have to be shimmed like a 20 oz bottle. You might try it with no spacer at all.

crunchydog Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Along with correct spacers, try cleaning or replacing your slides (the white plastic piece the product sits on) over time they can warp so even if they are clean this can bind the product pusher from pushing the bottles forward.

AZVendor Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 You could also put one of the tall pusher slides on it to help keep it upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to switch bottles around see if I have same trouble in those slots. thanks for help AZvendor/crunchydog/joe101us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoom Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 After fighting this for a long time, I finally gave up on that shape bottle. It is too top heavy and the bottom is far from flat. It just cannot be reliably vended from a 5591. Everytime you think you have the right answer with shims or pushers or whatever else you can come up with, you will show up to that picture. I would switch to Crush in the 16.9oz bottle. Sometimes you can even find Sunkist in a 16.9oz bottle. Even if you have to source product somewhere different, it is worth it to not be constantly dealing with mis-vends and service calls. Sorry, wish I had something more positive to say - but I spent about 6 months fighting this battle before giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 How the hell are the bottlers dealing with this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoom Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I can't imagine they care too much about how their cool new bottle shapes vend in 15 year old machines. I haven't tried, but I assume these bottles would vend fine from stacker machines. I don't have new model glass fronts so I can't say if the gates have changed enough to accomodate this bottle.
