What Meheen parts actually look like
Photographs rather than a catalogue, grouped by where they live on the machine. They’re here to show you the sort of thing we deal in, not to be ordered from. What’s on the shelf changes, and the right part for your machine depends on your machine.
Grouped by where they live on the machine
Not sure which of these you need? You don’t have to be. Photograph it and tell us what the machine’s doing.
Bottle seals and fill-tube hose
Moulded bottle seals in two fill-tube sizes, food-grade silicone hose and the clamps that go with them. They sit where the bottle meets the head. When they harden or flatten you get short fills, or one head foaming while the rest behave. Yours may not look like these.
Crowning cylinder seal kits
Two cylinder lengths for the four- and six-head machines, current and older style, plus the two-head kit. The difference between the first two is the cylinder length, not the machine — which is exactly the sort of thing a supplier who doesn’t know these machines gets wrong. Photograph the cylinder if you’re not sure which you have.
Air preparation and exhaust
Regulator filter elements, oil mist elements, brass mufflers, quick exhausts and breathers. The machine runs on clean dry air and nothing else — no motors, no gearboxes, no bearings in the fill section. Air preparation is most of its maintenance.
Off-gas and snift orifice fittings
Run tees with and without an orifice, for four- and six-head machines and for two-head. Orifice sizing is what governs foaming at fill. These aren’t generic tees, and they’re the most common wrong part we’re asked to replace.
Pneumatic fittings, flow and speed control
Push-fit elbows, unions, tees and Ys, inline flow and speed controls, brass adapters, barbs and bulkheads. Acetal push-fit from John Guest, quick exhaust from SMC. We stock these by size and material rather than by catalogue number, so tell us the tube size and where it sits.
Poly tubing
Tubing in three sizes and the full colour set, plus off-gas flex tubing and Kuri Tech braided PVC for the brite tank connection. The colours are how you trace a circuit on a machine somebody else re-plumbed. We supply by the metre and as a pre-cut assembly.
Bottle handling and crowner mechanics
Separator bars, crown landing plates, grabber plate springs, the magnet hub and its shaft, guide rail brackets, clamps and clips, and casters. Crown misfeeds and bottle jams are mechanical. Guide rail hardware in particular is most of what a format change consists of.
Rinser
Drilled nylon nozzles, brass post crown nozzles, rinser rods, back plates, the submersible pump and its cord. Mains voltage matters more here than it sounds — it’s the sort of thing overlooked on a machine imported from the United States, so tell us what yours runs on.
Answer within 24 hours, in English or French.
No part numbers, no prices and no stock levels on this page. Part numbers on machines this age are unreliable, prices depend on the part, and stock moves — any number here would be out of date by the time you read it.
A photograph of the part or the area it sits in, and a line about what the machine is doing. The model and serial if you happen to have them. We’ll work out what it is, what it costs and when it can be with you. If it’s something we don’t carry, we’ll say so and point you somewhere that does.
