Post by: Kevin C on November 29, 2005, 10:06:29 pm
Hello

Anyone have any experience with the coinco 48 can machine?

I am looking to purchase one to convert into a Red Bull only machine.

Let me know

Kevin

I sent you a PM.  

A Red Bull can is a 1/2 inch longer than a standard soda can & it is about a 1/2 smaller in diameter. So I think that the critical measurement is the length.

My question is this. Is there a 1/4 inch of play on each side of a 12 oz can when it is in the can rack of the C-48? I  figure if you dont have Red Bull at home you can look at a standard soda can when it is in the rack & get a quick check of the free play on the sides.

I have a deal set up for purchasing a C-48 but I dont want to pull the trigger until I hear from you.

Thanks

Kevin

I have one at home and I don't think there would be enough room for red bull in fact I have had some of the new aluminum cans be just a little bit taller we are talking less then 1/8 inch not fit.

Hey

Thats what I need to know.

I will pass on the Coinco 48 as a Red Bull machine & go to plan 2 to make the VMC 56 into a can machine for Red Bull.
