Webber EMI is establishing itself as a leader in the design and manufacture of Canister Conditioning Equipment.  Webber’s Model 110 utilizes our highly-intuitive, Windows-based control system to allow a user to quickly set up and precisely load charcoal canisters with Butane/Nitrogen in accordance with all applicable EPA and CARB protocols.  This Model comes in single and dual station configurations, as well as a model designed specifically for multi-cycle aging and conditioning.  Then, in 2016 Webber launched it’s Model 210 GWC Canister Conditioning System for the aging of canisters using gasoline as the vapor source.

Model 110-55 Dual Canister Conditioning Stand

Webber EMI has recently launched the Model 110-55 Canister Conditioning System.  This system is designed for maximum flexibility to meet our customers’ diverse needs.  The system comes with the ability to age canisters for an operator preset number of cycles, while monitoring the Canister performance real time on a scale.  It also has the flexibility to condition a canister on a vehicle in your lab, or you can do both simultaneously.

This system shares many of the same features as the standard Model 110 bench.  By leveraging on our design, we help keep our costs down for you the customer. And if you are adding to your current Webber line-up of Canister Conditioning equipment you will find these systems to be an easy transition for your technicians to manage.
