Can Twists & Inverters – Optimising Can Handling for Maximum Efficiency

• Prevents Blockages & Misalignment – Avoids disruptions in automated systems.
• Ensures Proper Can Positioning – Facilitates smooth movement through the production line.
• Reduces Manual Intervention – Minimises the need for human adjustments, enhancing efficiency.
• Optimises Production Flow – Maintains high-speed operations without compromising quality.

With CHS’s industry-leading Can Handling Solutions, manufacturers can experience higher efficiency, less waste, and seamless integration into their existing conveyor systems.

Can twists and Can Inverters operate by twisting or inverting cans along a controlled path, aligning them for the next stage in the manufacturing process. These systems are engineered for precision and seamless transition, ensuring that cans remain correctly positioned without production delays.

Our can twist systems guide cans through a controlled path, adjusting their orientation to meet production needs. Engineered for accuracy and efficiency, these solutions ensure seamless transitions between processing stages, eliminating misalignment and maintaining production speed.

• Rely on natural gravitational forces to reposition cans without mechanical intervention.
• Ideal for lightweight cans in low-energy, high-efficiency production setups.
• Energy-efficient as they require no additional power input.

• Utilise guided rails, rollers, or adjustable tracks for controlled can rotation.
• Provide greater control and precision for high-speed production lines.
• Suitable for operations that require consistent, repeatable orientation adjustments.

• Use magnetic fields to manipulate metal cans without physical contact.
• Best suited for specialised applications where non-contact handling is required.
• Useful in processes where can stability must be maintained during inversion.
