Morrison Container Handling Solutions

Morrison’s can opening systems bring consistency to the canning process while maximizing customer return on investment. Morrison offers multiple system designed to fit the specific production needs of the customer, whether they're working with a compact layout or high-volume throughput. Infeed timing screws support high-speed processing and help reduce labor demands. Built from heavy-duty stainless steel, Morrison's washdown friendly systems combine multiple functions into one operator station—feeding, washing, opening, dumping, rinsing, and crushing. Once cans are opened, they move through fully equipped dump stations that flow into an elevated twist chute. As the cans are inverted, the vibrating chute helps clear all contents into the dump area, where a magnetic grate collects any excess metal shavings. Fixed nozzles then rinse the cans before they enter the crusher, completing the cycle efficiently.

Morrison's denesters automate the repetitive task of separating and placing trays or containers onto a conveyor, reducing manual labor and boosting line efficiency. Using advanced timing screw or pneumatic technology, Morrison systems handle a wide range of rigid and semi-rigid packaging, including clamshells. Designed for precision and reliability, Morrison's high washdown-rated and custom solutions help streamline customers' line operation and increase productivity.

Strip labels—often referred to as tax stamps—add a distinctive branding element to alcohol and beverage bottles but can be difficult to apply consistently in automated environments. Misalignment or placement errors can lead to quality control issues both during production and at the point of sale. Morrison’s Strip Label Applicator Machine simplifies this process by automating label application with precision and consistency. Designed for accurate, reliable placement, the system boosts efficiency and reduces the need for manual labor. As a container handling partner, Morrison can integrate the label head of the customer's choice into a seamless, customized solution.

Morrison Container Handling Solutions offers customized solutions for container rinsing applications designed to effectively remove unwanted particles using either air or water, depending on the specific needs. Morrison's systems use timing screw technology to invert containers, providing precise control and accurate alignment with the rinser nozzle. Once the air or water rinse is complete, the timing screws return the container to its upright position and seamlessly feed it back onto the conveyor for continued processing. This solution is easily integrated into existing lines and is designed to be wash-down friendly.
