If any of you guys have a duofiller we would be keen to get some feedback from you. Ideally we would like to send you our filler that we have here:
https://www.kegland.com.au/products/cannular-can-and-bottle-filler-rapt
Then get feedback from you to see how the two devices compare. We would be happy to send you one of our units for free but you must already own a duofiller to compare it against. So if you would like to be involved please send us a private message.
I think you are meant to pm to the kegland address to get involved.I currently been using the Duofiller Gen 2 for little over a year. Whatever feedback or insight you need, let me know.

We have already selected some customers who contacted us and sent out some free units. Most of them have given us feedback which we have acted on and been able to put in a few extra features in our new firmware that I think they will appreciate.
ItsReck1 - With respect to your Duofiller Gen 2 if you could make any changes to this unit what would they be? Is there anything that would make the unit more usable, easier to setup, faster to clean or use? Do you have any issues or paint points at all?
More of a lonely filler then.did anyone see the new kegland filler coming out. Looks similar to the duofiller. except its a single.
I only need one. Lol for myself ahaha but I wonder what works better compared to duofiller except I don't think the kegland is out yet to see reviewsMore of a lonely filler then.
I don't need a side by side. I've watched many videos. I was planning on getting the duofiller or the duofiller mono. The single version like yours. But I hit YouTube and can't find any video of the kegland one in action. Not even on the site. So I'd just like a review and watch it work.We are a little banked up with orders at the moment but once we are able to manufacture enough stock for the Australian market we will start to ship orders to America early next year.
We have already had some customers compare the unit side by side with the duofiller. I do think Stig from Duofiller is a top bloke and I really like the guy but unfortunately we were not able to purchase and distribute his product so we decided to make our own version. We have done a reasonable amount of side by side testing and in my biased opinion here are the differences:
Duofiller - Advantages
Made from stainless steel
Is able to fill two cans at a time
Is generally quite robust in the way its assembled
Duofiller - Disadvantages
It's a pain to adjust the fill level or switch between one container type to another
It's pretty expensive
RAPT Cannular Can and Bottle Filler - Advantages
Using the screen and buttons you can adjust the fill level on the fly
You can save fill presets for different vessel types
It can fit larger bottles as well as cans. (for instance champagne bottles and wine bottles also fit)
It connects to the internet for further firmware updates and also sync's your filling profiles to your free RAPT account
It has a more sanitary design that allows you to easily remove the entire beer line assembly as the pinch jaw is external to the machine
It's been designed with ball lock QD fittings so you can easily disconnect the beer and gas line from the unit
It's substantially cheaper to purchase
RAPT Cannular Can and Bottle Filler - Disadvantages
The body of the unit is made from plastic
With that said I would be keen to get some feedback from some other people too. If you guys like, I can ask Bradley from this youtube Channel has the duofiller. If you guys like I can send him one of our RAPT Cannular Can and Bottle fillers and get him to do a side by side comparison. Do you think that would be helpful for you guys? He already has quite a bit of experience in canning so I feel like his channel is the best one for this side by side comparison.
Are you purging the keg because your dispensing your taps at say 12 but running your duofiller way less?Now that I've got my Duofiller dialed in its been great. And not to leave Kegland out, part of me dialing it in was setting it up on a cart with my canner and a set of Duotight regulators so I can pre-set the gas pressure to the Duofiller for purge and to the keg I'm filling from. I just pop my normal gas line off a keg in my keezer, purge the pressure and connect the preset line from my canning cart. Also found some kegland parts on MoreBeer that I use for cleaning using 2L bottles--part of the Oxebar keg system I believe.
Yes we have not done any video as we are struggling a bit to keep up with production as it is. Once we get enough stock we will do a video and start to show the product off a bit more but as you can imagine it doesn't help for us to promote the product until we can actually keep up with demand. By the end of the year we will probably release the first video on this product.I don't need a side by side. I've watched many videos. I was planning on getting the duofiller or the duofiller mono.

The Internet or wifi I don't need. I just want to press a button and it fill. I don't need tracking of anything. It's to fill a dozen or 2 cans for myself. Lol
How long does it take to fill a 12oz?? Have any rate like how many in 3 hours can be done?Now that I've got my Duofiller dialed in its been great.

Interesting. I'll soon be trying to dial it in. Two beers fermenting. Duofiller told me to keep my serving pressure the same as it is in keg if I change it they said it will create foamI use a very low pressure set more to be gentle flow than any specific PSI to prevent mixing as much as possible. Fill time is right about what it takes to seam a can, set it in the sink and pick up another can from a bucket of sanitizer. Not sure how many seconds.
