Opening of the machine and supplies

Once the representative of the CHurch of Jesus Christ latter-day Saints officially handed over the supplies and machines, we did not delay in opeing the boxes to see what the machines were like. In my original proposal I was adamant that all our processes should be "green", and that meant that the machines would have to be manually operated, necessitating no electricity. A little muscle action and our canning would be the same as larger more energy expensive processes.
The canning sealers, as they are called (aka canning machines) were made by the Wisconsin Metal Foundry, and they are of the finest galvanized and stainless parts available. The cans are dipped so they will withstand humidity and pressure and are made in Illinois. I am currently pursuing a can making facotry in Trinidad to help keep the costs down and help the area Caribbean economy as well.
Well...the machines work great as you can see...we were able to produce an empty well-sealed can...and that's the end-product that we are looking for for excellence and quality.
