Types of Can Rinser Systems
Choosing the right can rinser system ensures cleanliness, efficient operations, and cost-effective production. Air rinsers and water rinsers each offer unique advantages, depending on your speed, hygiene, and sustainability requirements.
Air Rinsing Systems
Key Advantages of Air Rinsers
- Eco-Friendly: Eliminates water consumption and reduces wastewater disposal costs.
- Cost-Effective: No need for water treatment or filtration.
- Reduces Oxidation Risk: Ideal for craft beers and carbonated drinks.
- Optimised for High Speeds: Handles fast-moving lines without slowing production.
- Sustainable Manufacturing: Lowers overall resource usage.

Water Rinsing Systems
Water-based rinsers employ filtered, chlorinated, or ozonated water to flush out contaminants, ensuring thorough and hygienic cleaning. Suction and drainage mechanisms help remove debris for a cleaner can interior.
Key Advantages of Water Rinsers
- Superior Cleaning Power: Ideal for more stubborn or sticky residues.
- Hygiene Compliance: Meets strict food and beverage safety standards.
- Customisable: Pressure settings, water filtration, and sanitation treatments can be tailored to your needs.
- Effective Against Microorganisms: Helps prevent contamination and product spoilage.

Air vs. Water: Which One is Best for Your Production?
| Feature | Air Rinser | Water Rinser |
|---|---|---|
| Contaminant Removal | Dust, particles, static debris | Dust, particles, residues, microorganisms |
| Sustainability | ✅ No water usage | ❌ Uses water (treatment/disposal needed) |
| Speed Compatibility | ✅ Ideal for high-speed lines | ✅ Suitable for slower, thorough cleaning |
| Cost Efficiency | ✅ Lower operating costs | ❌ Higher due to water use & filtration |
| Hygiene Compliance | ✅ Dry sanitisation | ✅ Essential for strict food safety |
Applications in Different Stages of Production
1. Empty Can Handling (Manufacturing Facilities)
- Removes dust, metal shavings, and lubricants from newly produced cans.
- Quality Control: Ensures cans are contaminant-free before shipping to filling plants.
- Streamlines automated canning lines by integrating seamlessly into single-lane conveyors or multi-lane conveyors.
- Reduces product contamination risks down the line.
2. Filled Can Handling (Food & Beverage Plants)
- Cleans the exterior of cans after filling, removing spills or residues.
- Maintains hygienic packaging conditions for multipacks or box units.
- Ensures labels adhere properly without contamination.
- Protects brand reputation by delivering spotless final products.
By choosing the right can rinser at each production stage, manufacturers maintain hygiene, efficiency, and product quality from start to finish.
