Vacuum S Style Can Rinser
VACUUM S AIR RINSER
Compact vacuum can rinser | S-path ionized air cleaner | space-saving
The CODI Vacuum S Rinser is a waterless can rinser that cleans empty cans with ionized air and vacuum conveyance at up to 1,200 CPM single-lane or 2,400 CPM dual-lane. The S-shaped path inverts each can and exposes it to targeted vacuum ports that pull out dust and particulates, all in a compact footprint. With no tracks or side grippers, it easily accommodates different can sizes. No water means no residual moisture, no drainage infrastructure, and no added dissolved oxygen risk. 304 stainless steel construction.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Compact S-Path Design
The S-shaped conveyor path inverts each can and delivers targeted vacuum exposure in a fraction of the floor space required by a loop-style rinser. Right fit when cleaning performance requirements are standard and footprint is the constraint.
No Tracks, No Adjustments
Vacuum conveyance holds cans on the belt without side grippers or tracks. No mechanical adjustments needed when switching can sizes.

Discharge Tin Line Height: Drops containers to nominal 40" to 50" (1,016 to 1,270 mm) packaging line deck height
Frame Construction: Heavy-gauge AISI 304 stainless steel welded box frame with adjustable stainless leveling feet
Vacuum & Pneumatic Utilities
Vacuum Blower: High-efficiency industrial backward-inclined centrifugal exhaust blower sized to application
Operating Vacuum Pressure: 4.5 to 5.0 in. w.g. (inches of water column) continuous suction pressure
Vacuum Monitoring: Onboard Dwyer Magnehelic differential pressure dial gauge paired with digital IFM IO-Link electronic vacuum sensors
Compressed Air (for Ionized Air Rinser):Demand: 8 SCFM @ 20–40 PSI regulated at machine (facility supply 100–110 PSI constant)
Quality: Clean, dry compressed air meeting ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 2
Connection: Dedicated 1/2" ID air drop to 1/4" NPT female quick-disconnect coupler
Electrical Supply & Controls
Power Supply:380–500 VAC / 460 VAC, 3-Phase, 50/60 Hz, 15–30 Amps (Standard)
208–240 VAC, 3-Phase, 50/60 Hz (available upon configuration)
Motor Drives: Inverter-ready high-torque SEW Eurodrive gearmotors paired with Schneider Electric Altivar Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
Control Architecture: Standalone or networked PLC controls featuring Schneider Electric / IFM IO-Link automation and color touchscreen HMI
Rinsing & Cleaning Systems
Integrated Ionized Air Can Cleaner: High-frequency pulse AC Keyence ionization bar positioned inside the inverted curve to neutralize static and dislodge dust, box lint, and cardboard fibers.
Positive/Negative Dual-Blower Extraction: Combines positive ionized air injection with a negative-pressure vacuum exhaust blower and dual HEPA filtration to trap dislodged particulates.
Liquid Sanitizer / Water Rinse Option: Stainless steel spray manifolds, full splash-containment shrouding, drip pans, and a 1" NPT sanitary gravity drain for wet rinsing.
Quality Control & Sensing
Active Crash & Downed-Can Detection: Infeed and transfer optical sensing arrays that detect misaligned or fallen cans and instantly halt conveyance before jams occur.
Under-Can Date Coder Integration: Pre-engineered mounting brackets and open-access viewports for Videojet or Keyence CIJ/laser printers to code can bottoms while inverted.
Discharge Can Backup Sensor: Retro-reflective debounce photoeye that monitors filler infeed backup, automatically pausing the rinser and ramping back up as demand resumes.
Conveyance & Line Integration
Network Handshake Integration: Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP communication card allowing the rinser to synchronize directly with high-speed rotary fillers and upstream depalletizers.
Hanging Conveyance Support Brackets: Custom ceiling and structural wall-mount bracing engineered to stabilize high-elevation infeed transitions.
Curated Spare Parts Packages: Tiered maintenance kits (perforated vacuum belts, wear strips, blower bearings, and optical sensors) to ensure uninterrupted production.
Universal Container Handling with Zero Change Parts
While mechanical gripper lowerators require width handwheel adjustments and twist rinses require entirely separate physical tracks for every SKU, the Vacuum S-Rinser handles standard, sleek, slim, and king cans on the exact same belt.
Strong, balanced vacuum suction holds containers firmly against the perforated belt, completely eliminating the labor, tooling costs, and line downtime of container changeovers.
Gentle, Friction-Free Container Control
Containers are held from the base by atmospheric vacuum pressure rather than squeezed by mechanical side grippers.
Eliminates the risk of denting lightweight aluminum walls, crushing delicate can necks, or scuffing printed shrink sleeves, digital cans, and matte finishes.
Waterless Invert Cleaning with Zero Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Pickup
Inverts cans 180° directly over the optional ionized air cleaner so gravity and ionized air work together to purge dust, cardboard dust, and manufacturing debris.
Keeps the container interior completely dry before reaching the fill heads—preventing residual water droplets from diluting high-gravity beverages or introducing oxygen into the package.
Precision Downstream Line Synchronization
Features intelligent speed-matching algorithms that automatically ramp belt speeds up or down based on filler demand.
Integrated debounce logic prevents stop-and-go line chattering during minor downstream pauses, maintaining consistent can-to-can spacing into the filler timing screw.
Sanitary Stainless Steel Industrial Architecture
Fabricated from heavy-gauge AISI 304 stainless steel sheet and tubing engineered for 24/7 commercial packaging environments.
Utilizes sealed, washdown-duty System Plast aircraft-grade bearings and low-friction UHMW wear strips for extended service life and minimal maintenance.
Removable side access panels allow rapid inspection of vacuum plenums, pulleys, and belt tracks.

FAQ
What is the difference between the Vacuum S Rinser and the Vacuum Loop Rinser?
Both hold cans against a vacuum conveyor and clean with ionized air, making can size changeovers a breeze. The difference is path geometry and space. The loop system extends the travel path further, which suits taller containers and heavier debris loads. The S-path delivers vacuum conveyance cleaning where floor space is the limiting factor.
Are can-size changeovers required?
No. Vacuum conveyance holds the container without a track or side grippers, so there are no rails to move and no parts to swap between diameters or heights.
What certifications and controls are available?
The Vacuum S Rinser is available in UL, CSA compliant, and CE compliant builds, with 208-240V or 380-500V three-phase power. Controls platform options include Allen-Bradley and Schneider Electric, with decentralized Lenze or AB PowerFlex VFDs for additional conveyors.
Can it integrate with conveyance already on the line?
Yes. Infeed and discharge tin line heights are specified at order, with discharge options to suit your application. Integrated vacuum transfer units, discharge transfer belts, and additional conveyor VFDs are available so the rinser matches the elevations already running in your line.
