A can-locking mechanism secures the cutter to the lid for smooth, fast opening of cans up to #10 size (157 mm diameter, 178 mm high), and the unit mounts permanently to the countertop for busy prep areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy operators choose the COH0500\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide-cut action opens the can seam — no sharp edges and no blade contact with food, unlike conventional can openers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan-locking mechanism holds the cutter to the lid for smooth, fast opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty stainless steel cutter is built to cut thousands of cans and is easily replaceable, with replacement parts available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-drive design with no gears to wear or break removes a common cause of downtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated can rest lets cans rotate freely during operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHamilton Beach Commercial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ MPN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCOH0500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSide-Cut Can Opener\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHCO500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum can size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#10 (157 mm diameter, 178 mm high)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel and plated aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCutter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy-duty stainless steel, replaceable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePermanent countertop installation, stainless steel screws included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnit, cutter assembly, mounting plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.88 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 year parts and labour (manufacturer brochure)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVenue suitability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suited to restaurant, pub, club, school and hospital kitchens — any prep area opening large-format cans daily where speed, food safety and no-sharp-edge handling matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the full range of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/can-openers\"\u003ecommercial can openers\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse more prep and service essentials in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kitchenware\"\u003ekitchenware\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounts permanently to the countertop using the included mounting plate and stainless steel screws — no power required, it is fully manual.
