Instead of puncturing a lid of a can with a blade, the new Hamilton Beach Commercial side-cut manual can opener from FEM (Foodservice Equipment Marketing) opens under the seam. This ensures there is no sharp edge on the lid, no food contact with the blade and no risk of metal shavings getting into the contents of the can.
Constructed from stainless steel and nickel-plated aluminium, it takes six turns of a handle to open a can while a locking feature holds the cutter on the can for easy and quick opening.
The opener permanently mounts to the work surface and raises and lowers over the can to speed up opening. Measuring 430mm high, it can handle up to size 10 cans and is supplied with a one year warranty. List price is £390 plus VAT.
