Three-piece can manufacturing
Typically, a production system for three-piece cans consists of six separate stations; a slitter to cut the tinplate base material into body blanks of the required size; a transfer system to feed the cut blanks from the slitter to the canbody welder; a welding unit to shape and weld the canbody; a seam protection system to prevent oxidation and chemical reactions damaging the welded can; a curing system to dry and harden the coating; and a bodyformer to give the canbody its final profile and shape. A single control system, equipped with a touchscreen panel, permits central operation and control of the entire production line.
Products overview
Slitter
High precision guillotine slitters or rotary slitters with fully automated cutting heads that allow fast format changes.
Transfer Systems
High-capacity transfer systems for all system layouts and configurations with a feeding capacity of up to 1,500 blanks per minute.
Canbody Welder
Welding machines that offer maximum speed, efficiency and flexibility, reliability and user-friendliness.
Coating
Fully automated powder-coating or wet-lacquering systems for inner and outer seams at various positions. They guarantee easy, clean operation and low powder or lacquer consumption.
Curing
Modular range of curing systems designed to cure the seam protection layer effectively. Available as gas or induction heating in linear or U-shape.
