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.

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.

For compacting large metal containers and drums with a diameter of up to 600 mm, RUNI has developed an SK370/600 for this purpose.

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 20.000 pcs 0,33 L cans per hour, and the compaction achieves up to 400 kg/m3
