Well I got it out the old fashioned way - emptied the bottle - duct tape all around it - then broke it - not much of a mess at all...  :biggrin:

I used to have a single price Dixie Narco 156 DCB that thing was notorious for jamming.  When I called technical support that technician had told me that usually in the field machines would be moved with product still in them causing the rotor cups to bend.  One thing that helped is I ordered plastic cam shims.  It was set for bottles or cans.  I sold it to a friend of mine and he had 2 jams in 7 months.

I got really good there for a while getting jammed cans out of the machine, no fun!
