Bottle and Can Opener Stalgast 300400

A table top can opener removes lids from metal cans without touching the contents. The unit clamps to the worktop edge, leaving both hands free to guide the can under the cutting wheel. A ring-shaped knife rotates against the rim, slicing through the lid while the can turns. This method keeps the cut smooth and the food inside undisturbed, which is essential when opening large catering tins of vegetables, fruit or sauces. The operator places the can on the base, aligns the rim with the knife ring, and tightens the clamp lever. Turning the handle drives the can in a circle while the knife presses down, cutting the lid cleanly. Once the lid is free, the operator lifts it away with the built-in magnet or the knife ring, leaving the can ready for use. The height of the unit allows cans from 20 mm to 400 mm tall to be opened without tilting or spilling. The H-560 mm model is built as a single aluminium casting that clamps to the worktop with a screw clamp. A knife with a ring is included, and the clamp screws secure the unit firmly during use. The controls consist of a clamp lever to lock the can in place and a turning handle to drive the cutting wheel. The overall height of 560 mm determines the maximum can size the opener can accept. The clamp screws ensure the unit stays fixed to the worktop, preventing movement while the can is turned. The knife ring is sized to fit standard catering cans, and the magnet built into the knife helps lift the lid once it is cut free. Cleaning involves wiping the knife ring and the base after each use to remove food residue. The clamp screws should be checked periodically to ensure the unit remains securely attached to the worktop. The cutting wheel and feed gear stay locked in the cast-iron frame while you wipe them clean between shifts. The product is listed in the Stalgast catalogue under table top can openers for professional catering equipment.
