The beverage industry has focused on the volume of product water within packaging because it affects the amount of waste that occurs in the packaging process. This research aims to study the main effects and interaction effects of factors of the volume of product water within the can. Five factors were studied, which are the length of vent tube, the level of the CO2 diaphragm valve, the level of the drain valve, the pressure inside the tank, and the product level inside the tank. The researcher applied the experimental design technique of the Central Composite Face-Centered (CCF) design type to investigate the effects. The results showed that the length of vent tube had significant effect on the volume of product water. Moreover, the significant interaction effects were the interactions between the length of vent tube and the level of the drain valve, the level of the drain valve and the pressure inside the tank, and the pressure inside the tank and product level inside the tank.
