How to choose a canning machine
Describes Malkova Anzhela Dmitrievna, Product Specialist of JSC “Electric Machine Building Plant” LEPSE “.
There are four types of canning machines: manual, snail, semi-automatic and automatic.
The classic snail is inconvenient to wash, its threads become clogged, and it has many moving parts.
In the semi-automatic there is a stopper that will not allow the jar to be crushed. However, it takes a minimum of 6 turns to screw the lid on and the same number of turns to remove the machine from the jar.
The automatic canning machine is the simplest and fastest. She copes with her work in 30 seconds, by pressing one or two handles (depending on the model), she immediately compresses the jar from all sides.
The best canning machines, designed for long service life, are made of metal. When choosing a product, look at the general appearance, the novelty of the metal, its quality (galvanized steel is better), the quality of plastic parts, assembly, the quantity and quality of lubricant. Pay special attention to the coating of the machine (nickel-plated, enameled) and its integrity. Learn leverage. If they are aluminum, then this is a minus for the machine, since they are very fragile.
The rolling roller in a classic canning machine, it is desirable that it be metal. The plastic one will wear out faster, bend or break and will not be able to provide the necessary pressure on the lid with the jar, and as a result, it will spoil the canned food.
In an automatic typewriter, a round element between the three petals can be metal or plastic, since this is a highly loaded push mechanism, it is desirable that it be made of metal.
After use, any machine must be washed, dried and lubricated with oil if necessary. Store the seaming key in a well ventilated area. And also regularly tighten the moving parts so that there are no backlashes.
