NEMCO’s unique mechanical design thinks outside the can! Instead of cutting down vertically into the lid, the CanPRO® Compact cuts horizontally into the rim for improved food safety, as well as operator safety. Cutting from the outside, the blade assembly crimps as it cuts, eliminating the sharp edge that can slice a hand or damage a spatula. Plus, it leaves no metal slivers that can fall into the food contents.  Running the circumference of a #10-sized can just takes a few quick and easy turns of the crank. It’s adjustable to all can sizes and features a permanent mount with an optional temporary clamp, allowing you to move the opener around the kitchen. Security model option offers a locking capability.
