Edlund 610 Crown Punch Air-Powered Can Opener
Edlund 610 Crown Punch — High-Volume Air-Powered Can Opener
The Edlund 610 Crown Punch is the gold standard in high-volume commercial can openers, engineered for foodservice operations that push through 250 to 400 cans per day. Fully air-powered with zero electricity required, it opens any can in a single effortless stroke — delivering consistent, safe results shift after shift. Built in the USA from hardened stainless steel and USDA approved, the 610 is the can opener built to outlast every kitchen that uses it.
Key Features of the Edlund 610
Every design decision on the 610 targets one goal: getting through hundreds of cans a day without slowing your kitchen down.
100% Air-Powered — No Electricity Needed
Operates entirely on compressed air at 85–120 PSI, consuming only 1–2 CFM. Eliminates electrical hazards in wet kitchen environments and keeps the unit running even during power outages.
Single-Stroke Opening at Scale
Designed to open any can in one clean stroke, the 610 keeps prep lines moving fast. With a capacity of up to 400 cans per day, it's purpose-built for high-throughput institutional and commercial kitchens.
Hardened Stainless Steel Blade
The Crown Punch blade is made from hardened stainless steel engineered to open thousands of cans before reconditioning or replacement is needed — dramatically reducing long-term operating costs.
USDA Approved & Fully Washable
The entire unit is stainless steel construction and can be completely washed down, meeting strict USDA food safety standards. Blades also remove easily for thorough cleaning — no tools required.
Quick-Change Can Size Tooling
Switch between 12 standard can sizes — from 2½" (#202) up to 6³⁄₁₆" (#603 / #10) — in minutes without any tools. Custom tooling is also available from the factory for specialty or international can sizes.
Optional Automatic Lid Remover
Upgrade the 610 with an optional automatic lid remover attachment for even faster throughput. Reconditioning kits and replacement parts are also available directly through the Edlund factory, extending the life of your investment.
Important — Do Not Sharpen the Crown Punch Blade: The blade edges are intentionally dull by design. Sharpening them compromises the Crown Punch mechanism and can cause dangerous metal slivers to contaminate food. If performance declines, contact the Edlund factory for authorized reconditioning.
Ideal Applications
The Edlund 610 thrives anywhere canned goods are a daily staple and downtime isn't an option.
