The ROI of Next-Generation Can Rinsers: Payback in 72 Days
When evaluating capital equipment, of course, beverage producers are concerned about the price tag, but quite often, the bigger question is, how quickly will this investment pay for itself? For can rinsers, the answer depends on several measurable factors, which all contribute to return on investment.
The Hidden Costs of Downtime
Downtime is one of the costliest challenges in beverage production. Every stalled minute means lost cans, wasted labor, and delayed shipments. Every production line experiences changeovers, but the time they take varies dramatically. Traditional rinsers with pneumatic systems often require operators to handle and store large twists, creating bottlenecks and opportunities for error. By contrast, Entech’s patented Gatling Gun® design eliminates removable parts and achieves repeatable changeovers in under 4 minutes, without tools.
Why Durability Matters for ROI
ROI is also tied to how much product a can line can move, and for how long. Entech’s rinsers are designed for speeds up to 2,000 cans per minute per lane, keeping production flowing at maximum efficiency.
ROI isn’t just about today’s gains, but about the long-term reliability of your line. Entech rinsers are built with rugged stainless-steel box frames designed to withstand billions of cans over decades of operation.
Integration Without the Headaches
One of the most common pitfalls in bottling line upgrades is system mismatch; when a new piece of equipment doesn’t fit smoothly with conveyors, sensors, or control systems that are already in place. The result can be costly rework and extended downtime.
Entech rinsers are engineered for seamless fit and function. Whether adapting to line speed, can size, or existing plant layouts, our systems are built to integrate without disrupting production flow. That means faster commissioning, fewer surprises, and quicker ROI.
Training That Delivers Long-Term ROI
Even the best equipment can underperform if operators aren’t confident using it. Many line upgrades falter because training is limited to manuals or rushed handoffs.
Entech takes a different approach. Every rinser installation is managed by factory-trained technicians who provide startup support and hands-on operator training. We also back this with annual rinser validations to keep performance on track. Proper training ensures not just smooth adoption but also protects ROI for the life of the system.
Sustainability as a Cost Advantage
Water rinsers can consume millions of gallons of fresh water every year. In a recent conversion project, one customer saved over 4 million gallons of water annually by switching to Entech’s ionized air rinsing system. Beyond sustainability benefits, that’s a direct cost savings in water and wastewater treatment.
Product Purity and Its Payback
A single quality failure can undo the gains of months of production. Entech’s Ionized air rinsing systems deliver 20–30 times more ionization than traditional AC systems, with proven cleanout across contaminants like cardboard dust, glass, and even string or Styrofoam. Cleaner cans mean fewer recalls, longer shelf life, and better taste in every sip, benefits that don’t just protect your brand but also contribute directly to ROI through reduced waste and improved efficiency.
Labor and Uptime: The Often-Overlooked ROI Drivers
Unlike traditional rinsers that require operators to manage heavy twists, Entech rinsers streamline changeovers with fewer touch points and no storage of bulky parts. That means operators can run longer between interventions and focus on higher-value tasks.
Why Entech
Clean cans aren’t just about meeting quality standards—they’re about gaining an operational edge. When a rinser supports higher throughput, quicker changeovers, and reliable uptime, it does more than protect your product. It accelerates your payback.
That’s the philosophy behind every Entech system. Our customers often achieve full ROI within just 72 days of operation, thanks to our patented design that keeps lines moving and costs down, day after day, year after year.
