ABSTRACT:
The present application discloses an invention which addresses and resolves long standing lid size reduction problems in the beverage-canning industry and comprises diametrally reduced adapter nozzles, and related methods, used as replacements only for the nonaccommodating distal discharge nozzle structure of a commercially existing fill valve, which is preferably removed by conventional machining techniques. The adapter nozzles preferably comprise a single die cast stainless steel article. Each adapter nozzle is fastened to the nonremoved portion or remainder of the fill valve in sealed relation and comprises a plurality of angularly disposed beverage flow passageways which selectively converts beverage flow from several streams issuing from the remainder of the existing fill valve into three broard, although thin streams and discharges the three beverage streams angularly against the top region of the interior surface of the side wall of the can having reduced size lid opening so that foaming, if any, is within tolerable limits. Each adapter nozzle also comprises a passageway by pressurized gas is selectively delivered to and evacuated from the interior of the can.
