Description
The DCN AutoCan 1000 combines can opening, emptying and crushing in one compact, high-speed system for food and beverage processing. It handles up to 1000 A10 cans per hour, making it suitable for high-volume lines producing ready meals, pizzas, delicatessen salads or fruit preparations.
Construction and operation
The machine is built in 316 stainless steel. Pneumatic cylinders position and open each can precisely, and an electric crusher compacts the empty cans quietly. The system is operated from a touch-screen HMI.
Can sizes and changeover
The AutoCan 1000 is supplied with one set of parts for a standard can of about 150 mm diameter and standard height; changeover sets for other sizes are available on request. Changing head/blade assemblies and twist boxes for different can heights takes 10–15 minutes with trained operators. Performance depends on can quality, height and product type.
Product discharges by gravity; vibratory attachments or sterile air purges are available for products that need assistance.
