Can Openers

Commercial Can Openers are essential tools for safely and efficiently opening tins in busy professional kitchens, cafes, hotels and catering operations. This range covers everything from compact handheld openers to heavy duty bench and wall-mounted units, plus compatible blades, wheels and cogs. Designed for frequent use in commercial environments, these can openers help speed up prep, reduce strain on staff and maintain consistent results. Robust construction and ergonomic designs support reliable, hygienic performance service after service.

• Handheld and butterfly can openers ideal for light to medium duty use in smaller kitchens and food trucks.
• Heavy duty bench can openers in multiple shaft lengths for opening large cans up to high capacities on prep benches.
• Wall-mounted and clamped can openers to free up counter space and provide a fixed, stable opening station.
• Professional manual and electric catering can openers designed for high volume can opening in production kitchens.
• Spare blades, wheels and cogs to keep Bonzer and other commercial can openers performing at their best.
• Ergonomic grips and smooth cutting mechanisms to improve operator comfort and reduce the risk of injury.

How to choose the right Commercial Can Openers

• Consider your daily can volume and choose between light duty handheld models or heavy duty bench and electric can openers for high throughput.
• Check the maximum can height each opener can handle to ensure compatibility with your most common tin sizes.
• Decide whether a portable handheld, fixed bench-mounted or wall-mounted unit best suits your kitchen layout and workflow.
• Look for durable stainless steel or commercial grade components that can withstand frequent use in a professional environment.
• Assess ergonomics, including handle design and cutting action, to minimise operator fatigue during long prep shifts.
• Factor in availability of spare blades and parts so you can maintain performance without replacing the whole unit.

Care and maintenance

• Clean can openers after each service, removing food residues from blades, wheels and gears to maintain hygiene.
• Use warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding abrasive pads that can damage protective coatings or dull cutting edges.
• Regularly inspect blades, wheels and cogs for wear and replace them promptly to ensure smooth, safe cutting.
• Apply food safe lubricant to moving parts where recommended by the manufacturer to keep mechanisms running freely.
• Securely mount or clamp bench and wall-mounted openers and periodically check fixings for tightness and stability.
• Store handheld can openers in a clean, dry area away from corrosive chemicals to prolong service life.
