The new system, called Half Pint, is targeted at mobile canning businesses and breweries that operate under both tight space and budgetary restraints.

Half Pint requires little to no installation, which makes the depalletizer a suitable option for canning lines from 15 CPM to 60 CPM, as well as international breweries or breweries with tight budgets, the manufacturer explained.

The system itself is also light and considered a perfect match for breweries with multi use spaces or mobile canning operations. It is also specifically designed for low clearance applications such as box trucks or low ceiling heights.

Half Pint incorporates an automatic push bar that  loads the containers onto a chute which feeds through a rinser to the filler. The unit is made of stainless steel and lightweight aluminum. It will be available with multiple power configurations.

“A true mobile depalletizer proven under mobile working conditions” said Matt Vincent, President and Co-Owner at Ska Fabricating. “The original design for this new depalletizer was purchased from Owen Lingley at Craft Canning & Bottling located in Portland, OR. We really liked some features of the original design and we are excited to show it off with our new modifications.”
