GROUP OVERVIEW METAL – A MODERN, VERSATILE PACKAGING MATERIAL . Metal cans are produced in a broad variety of shapes and sizes and used for every imaginable kind of food, aerosols and beverage. Because of the outstanding properties of metal packaging, cans, pails, drums or even irregularly shaped containers are often the packaging of choice for industrial and technical goods such as lubricants, paints, lacquers and aerosols. Although the production process is identical to food and beverage cans, the forming, shaping, endmaking and testing of industrial packaging requires specialist...

COMPLETE PRODUCTION LINES FOR EVERY NEED . S OUDRONIC DESIGNS, BUILDS, INSTALLS AND MAINTAINS FULLY INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING L I N ES WITH PRODUCTION SPEEDS OF UP TO 12 0 0 CANBODIES PER MINUTE. A typical canbody production system consists of the following components: a slitter to cut the tinplate base material into body blanks of the required size, a transfer system, a canbody welder, a seam protection unit, a curing system to dry and harden the seam protection and a bodyformer to give the canbody its final profile and shape. The line will also include a unit to test the air-tightness of...

HEAT-DRYING THE SEAM PROTECTION LAYER PROTECTING THE WELD SEAM WELDING A MASHED CANBODY SEAM

Once the raw canbodies leave the curing system, they are ready to be given their final shape and prepared for the endseaming process. Our highly flexible, fully automated bodyformers combine all the necessary functions in a single machine: shaping (mainly for optical purposes), necking (for good stacking properties after filling), flanging (necessary for the subsequent seaming process), beading (for additional stability) and seaming (of either the bottom or top end). Cantec’s bodyformers are a mature multi-function system designed to meet the technical and commercial canmaking challenges of...

EXIT CONVEYOR SHEET FEED REDRAW/TRIMMING PRESS SHEET FEED PREDRAW PRESS

SHEET FEED PRESS: PREDRAW . The manufacture of two-piece canbodies places considerable stresses and strains on the material. To keep these within acceptable limits, bodies are generally made in two stages. In the first of these, the predraw press punches the blank into a basic, but as yet not final, cup shape. Soudronic’s predraw press is able to form four two-piece shells in a single stroke. The predrawn cans now move from the press onto a conveyor that takes them to the next stage. SHEET FEED PRESS: REDRAW AND TRIMMING . At the redraw stage, the canbody is pressed into its final form,...
