Ideal for high-volume can opening in delis, food processing, and catering operations
The Nemco 56050-1 CanPro Permanent Compact Can Opener is a durable, compact can opener engineered to improve the can-opening process. Unlike traditional models, which puncture and cut from the top, the CanPro cuts along the lid’s outer seam, leaving the circumference and lip of the lid intact to prevent it from falling into the can.
This unique side-cutting design prevents metal shavings from contaminating food, and ensures the lid comes off cleanly without jagged edges. The CanPro is easy to maintain with its gearless drive system, reducing downtime and costly repairs. The cutter housing is a quick-change module, allowing for easy replacement. Stainless steel and aluminum nickel-plated construction ensures long-lasting durability and virtually maintenance-free operation.
Designed for high-volume use, the CanPro holds up to #10 cans and can be permanently mounted to countertops or affixed with an under-clamp for versatile installation. It’s an ideal solution for commercial kitchens looking for efficiency, cleanliness, and ease of use.


The Nemco 56050-1 CanPro Permanent Compact Can Opener is a robust and efficient tool designed for heavy-duty use in commercial kitchens. This can opener features a side-cutting design that cuts along the lid’s outer seam, offering a clean, smooth edge while leaving the circumference and lip of the lid intact. This innovative method ensures that the lid does not fall into the can, and there is no risk of metal shavings contaminating the food. The cutter never makes contact with the inside of the can, which prevents any food debris from being introduced during operation.
One of the standout features of the CanPro is its gearless design, which eliminates the risk of gear breakage or wear, a common issue in traditional can openers. This gearless handle provides a smoother, easier operation, and it’s built to last much longer than conventional models. The precision-ground stainless steel cutter is capable of cutting up to 5,000 lids before requiring replacement, making it a long-lasting investment for any kitchen. The modular cutter housing can be easily swapped out with a quick pull of a pin, reducing downtime and ensuring you always have a backup cutter on hand to keep your kitchen running smoothly.
The stainless steel and aluminum nickel-plated components of the CanPro ensure its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion, making it an ideal choice for commercial kitchens where frequent use is required. The CanPro is available in two mounting options: a permanent screw-in mount and a clamp model that securely attaches to countertops up to 2 3/4" thick, providing flexibility to accommodate different kitchen layouts. Whether mounted permanently or clamped for temporary use, the CanPro is designed for stability, making it easy to use without the worry of it shifting during operation.
Cleaning the CanPro is straightforward, with a removable cutter housing that can be cleaned with a brush, while the rest of the unit is dishwasher-safe or can be cleaned in a 3-compartment sink. This simplicity in maintenance ensures that the can opener remains in top condition for years of reliable service. With its superior engineering, long-lasting durability, and ease of use, the Nemco 56050-1 CanPro Compact Can Opener is a must-have tool for busy kitchens that need a can opener capable of withstanding the demands of high-volume food preparation.
