NinnJinn Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm far from being a veteran, but since it is the far left column, my guess would be there is possibly a screw/bolt protruding into the column possibly, therefore puncturing your product. I would empty out the column and take a good look inside the column and SLOWLY run your hand up and down the column sides and feel everything that the soda could possibly touch on its way from your hand when stocking the machine to the vending door for the customer. Just my newbie two cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coinvestor Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 What kind of machine is it? Thing to check: < The delivery flap. I have seen cans hitting just wrong coming through the flap and get nicked. The cans only hit at the wrong angle from one column. < The drop zone. Make sure there are no sheet metal edges that the can could hit coming out. I use a piece of 1/4" tubing from my coffee machines, make a cut legnth wise and fit it over the sharp edge. < Shims. If your machine uses them, make sure that they are set proper and didn't move on you, < The column. Empty the column and look for anything sharp. If you vend a mix of cans and bottles, the rear product spacer in the bottle column will stick through the column wall (in the numbered slots) at a location that will puncture cans.

ANDERSONVENDING Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Look up from the bottom of the column and check the metal tab hanging in the center of the column and check the other columns to see if they're in the same position(happened to me once so I removed the tab) not the proper fix but it worked.
