[ARCHIVED THREAD] - FIFO Can Rotator

Posted: 8/17/2010 12:33:30 PM EDT

Hello all,

I was looking all over the net for an instruction manual for a FIFO Can Rotation System that I can build myself with some wood.

I've seen some for sale, but are pretty expensive.

Are there any links that would guide me to making one of these?

Something like this... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4895078190_29e93514a1_b.jpg

I'm not really a handy man, so any help for the newbie would be cool.

Thanks

Found this one doing a Google search. Looks like a nice one.

It looks exactly like the one in the picture he provided. Thanks hawk!

Geez that wooden one looks pretty nice, but it also looks like it takes up a lot of space.

I'm thinking I am gonna build the kind that fit between the studs in a wall. My basement storage area is unfinished on one side so its open to the studs.

Yes! Your Google-Fu is very good!

Got any more?

FIFO? first in first out? you would want to use the oldest cans?

Yes - one uses them in order of expiry - nominally the first can you put in is the first one that's going to expire - so you use it first...

Yup, if you use up the newest cans all the time, don't you think the older cans would get older? I don't think it'll get better... YMMV...
