This set was purchased as spare parts for a canning line conveyance design that inverted the cans for date coding purposes post fill. The dedicated 16oz and 12oz versions were ultimately put into everyday use and have since been sold with the other elements of the packaging line and conveyance. This set is designed for 500ml cans, but would work quite well with 16oz cans as well with a few feet of infeed back pressure. There are no mechanical parts, so no risk with age. The inverter blocks mount to existing conveyor and effectively handle several hundred cans per minute. They are also ideal for nitrogen dosing/widgets or hot fill applications where cans need to be inverted within 30 seconds of being seamed.
