With Morrison’s latest model of high-speed can opener, you can feed, wash, open, dump, rinse, and crush cans at one operator station. Watch our Morrison’s **Model 60 Can Opener with Magnetic De-Lid System and Can Crusher** in action in this video where we highlight each portion of this system: **Quick Facts:** - Increase return on investment (ROI) - Reduces labor demands - Wash-down friendly – easy to clean! - Runs at 60 cans per minute for #10 cans **System Breakdown:** 1. **Loading the Cans into the System** Cans get loaded onto the conveyor via the **dump table**. From the dump table, an operator can easily slide cans directly onto the conveyor to keep a backlog of containers. From there, the cans move down the conveyor and are fed into the first station which prepares them to be opened. 1. **Preparing Cans to be Opened** Cans are fed under the first hood; the pre-rinse and air blow off station. In this section of the system, cans are rinsed off with water followed by an air blow that **removes any debris** that may be on the cans. This ensures the cans are clean before the lids are removed. 1. **Opening the Cans** It’s in this stage that cans are opened. Cans are fed into a timing screw that spaces the cans consistently. By ensuring that the cans are precisely centered before being opened with the **crown punch.** With a quick punch motion, a blade pierces the top of the can and cuts the lid from the can. NOTE: Even slightly dented and imperfect cans can run through the system and be opened without issue. This allows you to save time and keep your line running. 1. **Removing the Lids** Once the cans are opened, the lids need to be removed before the contents of the can be dumped out. To do this, Morrison uses a **Magnetic De-Lidder** that synchs with the timing screw to remove the lids from the cans. This magnetic mechanism can lift the lids and dispose of the lids down a disposal chute. In this section of the system, a sensor is in place that **inspects** for any cans that did not have lids properly removed. If this occurs, the can will pass under the inspection section and cause the system to fault so that the can will not end up being dumped into the downstream bins. 1. **Emptying the Cans** Now that the cans are open and the lids are removed; it’s time to empty the product. To do this, the open and de-lided cans are fed from the timing screw into a metal twist section where they are inverted 180 degrees. This twist portion also vibrates to help dislodge and dispense the product into the dump bins below. NOTE: For more viscous products that are more difficult to dump out of the can, a **Punch and Blow** can be added to the system. This is a mechanism that pierces the bottom of the can, after it has been twisted 180 degrees, and then blows air in the can to evacuate the product. 1. **Cleaning the Cans** The empty cans move onto a second, segregated section to have any remaining product rinsed out to prep the can for recycling. Removing the residual product allows many types of cans to be **recycled** instead of going into the garbage. 1. **Crushing the Cans** The now empty and rinsed cans can be crushed which offers additional **cost-saving benefits**. Crushed cans can be recycled. Additionally, crushed cans do not typically incur a hauling cost since they have a value for their weight which offsets the cost of removal. The benefit of crushing your cans saves you time and labor. Once emptied and rinsed, cans are fed out of the secondary rinsing section and are dropped directly into the crusher. Crushing the cans mechanically allows for a **smaller footprint of cans** at the end of the line. The crushed can elevator then disposes of emptied and crushed cans. **Interested?** Click [**here**](https://morrison-chs.com/can-opener#COIN) to submit an inquiry to one of our sales representatives ready to help bring you the solution you need.
