What are the most affordable manual canning machine options for my business?
I need a manually operated canning machine for powdered milk that seals one can at a time because I only have two workers, which includes me and at reasonable price. Is that possible?
It is absolutely possible to get a manual canning machine that seals one can at a time, and for a reasonable price, though what is 'reasonable' depends, of course, on your budget. Manual canning machines generally range in price anywhere from $9000-18000, used. Price will be on the upper end of that scale since you will want more canning 'heads' (you will want a three head system to take advantage of your two workers and yourself). You may be able to find a cheaper machine if you negotiate with the supplier.
Good luck!
