The Model 175 automated Can Opener and Can Crushing system continues to prove another major success with our third order being taken last week. This is for a food processing company, allowing them the ability to automatically open, discharge, rinse and crush #10 cans to approximately 700 cans per hour. The system will be fully tested prior to dispatch from our test kitchen for late summer delivery.

The MODEL 175 PLC automatically controlled Can-Opener is ideal for large batches.  It is adaptable to most can sizes using the same basic format as our Model 160 but with the added benefit of being automatic.

Features:

  • All Stainless Steel Design
  • PLC controlled
  • Semi-Automatic
  • Removes Lid In One Cut
  • Fully Enclosed Blade
  • In-feed Conveyor
  • Twist Box – Ensures Cans are Inverted to Fully Empty
  • No Metal Chips
  • Various Optional Items (see below)
  • Typical Throughput upto 800 Cans Per Hour (approximately and dependant on can size)
