Model 60 Can Opener

High Speed Can Opening for Large Operations

The Model 60 Can Opener automatically feeds, washes, opens, dumps, rinses, and crushes cans at one operator station, up to 60 cans per minute. Once the cans are fed through the screws and opened, they are processed through our fully equipped dump stations. Each dump station is configured to flow into the elevated can twist and chute, emptying the contents of the can. Once the can is inverted, the elevated twist chute vibrates to ensure all contents make it into the dump area, which has a magnetic grate to collect excess metal shavings. Fixed nozzles wash out the cans before they enter the crusher.

Model 20 Can Opener

Scalable for Growing Businesses

For operations looking to automate the can opening process while keeping costs low, the Model 20 Can Opener is a perfect solution. Running up to 20 cans per minute, this version of the automated industrial can opener is scalable for future growth. In this machine, operators hand load cans into the system’s infeed conveyor. Next, a punch opens the cans while the magnetic de-lidder removes the lid. The opened cans are then discharged for an operator to dump.  

This model can be scaled up, with options to add on automatic dumping and crushing as your operation grows. It’s the perfect mix of automation with human labor.
