Compactor for empty tinned food cans

Empty cans, such as those with misprints or other damage, take up a lot of space and are costly to store and handle. With a RUNI screw compactor, they can be compressed efficiently, making transport and recycling much more economical.

If you have filled cans from production errors or returned goods, we also offer a solution where the contents are separated from the packaging. This makes it possible to send the metal for recycling and – in many cases – use the contents as raw material for biogas production. Nothing goes to waste.

Compact Empty Tinned Food Cans

Destruction of returned goods and faulty products from food manufacturers often results in storage problems. By installing a RUNI screw compactor, it is possible to reduce space and handling.

Sell Compacted Cans from Tinned Food

The compacted cans from tinned food can be sold for recycling. The standard maximal diameter of the cans that can go into the RUNI screw compactor is 230 mm, equivalent to a 10-litre bucket. For compacting larger metal containers and drums, RUNI has developed an SK370/600 for this purpose.

The RUNI Solution for Tinned Food

The screw compactor SK370 can compact (and separate content) from tinned food cans in a continuous flow.

The compactors are equipped with sensors for automatic start and stop and can be fed with a conveyor belt or manually. Both the matrix and collection tray are made of stainless steel (AISI316) to withstand the low pH in many liquids.

The machine can also be equipped with a drain so that tinned food cans can be destroyed and emptied for content during the process. Please read more under separation.

The SK370 screw compactor has a capacity of up to 3.500 3 Liter cans of tinned food per hour, and the compacted output has a weight of up to 1.200 kg/m3
