Have you ever used a manual commercial can opener? They’re quite different from a home can opener. They clamp to the side of a table. A big #10 can gets shoved under the blade, the crank goes down, then turns to open the can up. It’s a pretty fast process.
But what if you have to open a lot of big cans every day? If you have to open more than 75 cans a day for your institution, skip the manual can openers and try one of our Edlund can openers. Edlund has been making electric can openers for many decades now. Their machines are easy to disassemble, easy to clean, and easy to find parts for. Their special blades tear through lids with ease.
They cost more than your standard can opener, but they are meant for very heavy duty. All models can open can sizes up to #10. If your business opens a mixture of large and small cans, opt for a two speed model. The slower speed is for smaller cans. If you work with just #10 cans, a single speed will rip through lids fast. The 270 model is their top-of-the-line unit that can go through 150 to 250 cans every day. The optional gas shock slide bar mount is only necessary if you are opening cans larger than a #10 size. All models come in both 115 and 230 volt varieties.
If you need to tear through a very large amount of cans daily, then you need an Edlund model electric can opener. Nothing else compares.
