The TightPACK spoilage reduction system features a series of coated stainless steel cables running along both sides of the washer or oven, ensuring the can-pack remains at a predetermined width. By maintaining this set pack-width, spoilage from tipped cans is eliminated, as the system prevents cans from tipping over. The TightPACK system can be easily installed with minimal alterations to existing equipment and requires only a short downtime for installation.
