FAQ about the fully automatic can opener CEM

Which cans are KA-PROCESS machines suitable for?

Our CEM and HDO can opening and emptying machines open round cans in various formats. Specifically, our machines can process cans with a diameter between 153 mm and 157 mm and between 230 mm and 233 mm. The height of the cans can vary from 115 mm to 310 mm.

If you have special can formats, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your requirements. Our experienced team will be happy to help you find the best possible solution for your needs.

What is the difference between the CEM-1200/2200 and the CEM 2.0?

The CEM-1200/2200 is a machine designed exclusively for liquid and slightly pasty products in cans. Cans with chunky contents cannot be opened on the CEM-1200/2200 as the lid is only pierced, but not punched out and removed as on the CEM 2.0 and HDO-100.

Do different can heights with the same diameter require a format change?

No. The CEM machine controls the punching of the lids independently of the can heights.

How can I clean the machine?

The machines can be foamed, sprayed and disinfected with the cleaning agents and concentrations commonly used in the food industry.

How much product remains in the can?

The unique can rinsing device of the CEM 2.0 enables an emptying rate of up to 98% to be achieved, depending on the product.

Are the machines stand-alone machines or can they be integrated into lines?

The CEM 2.0 not only offers the option of stand-alone use, but can also be seamlessly integrated into complete production lines.

For a comprehensive production solution, we can plan and implement a complete line around the CEM 2.0. This can include a can washing system, conveyor belts for feeding full cans, removing empty cans and conveyor belts or pumps for further product processing. The risk assessment and CE certification of the entire line designed and supplied by us are naturally included in our scope of services.

If you already use existing production lines with conveyor belts or pumps, we can integrate the CEM 2.0 into these systems to increase your productivity and optimize the entire production process.

Why buy a fully automatic can opening machine from the CEM series for the food industry?

The use of a fully automatic can opening machine can offer you numerous financial benefits. Our fully automatic can opening machines enable you to reduce your personnel requirements to a minimum. This not only reduces your labor costs, but also ensures consistently high productivity.

Thanks to the can rinsing device, they achieve an impressive emptying rate of up to 98 %. This not only leads to a more efficient use of resources, but also reduces disposal costs – a clear financial advantage for your company.

The integrated can press also reduces the volume of waste by up to 80 %. This not only minimizes the space required for disposal, but also reduces the environmental impact by reducing the frequency of waste disposal.
