CanNeck™ Lubrication Systems Non-contact lubricant application systems provide increased productivity and greater quality control for can-necking operations using wax or mineral oil. Features and Benefits Automatically adjusts amount of lubricant dispensed with varying line speeds up to 3,000 cpm to minimize pleating and black lines. Two different system configurations offer the ability to dispense either mineral oil or wax lubricants to meet specific application requirements. Simple adjustment of the amount of lubricant dispensed to accommodate abrasion characteristics of different inks. L ow-level detector alerts operator to add lubricant without interrupting production. The systems incorporate a Nordson E-201 dispensing module for clean, accurate deposition while extending module coil life. Controlling the amount and placement of lubricant applied during the necking process is critical to successful two-piece can manufacturing. Inconsistent application of lubricant material during the can-necking process can lead to improper necking, increased rejects, material waste and maintenance downtime. Nordson CanNeck Lubrication Systems employ a non-contact application method to apply a defined, controllable and repeatable bead of lubricant to the open end of two-piece cans. Eliminating contact between the can and the applicator assures accurate bead placement, reducing the incidence of pleating and black line problems associated with typical wick or roller systems. The systems provide accurate, adjustable control with varying line speeds of up to 3,000 cans per minute. In addition, CanNeck lubrication systems maintain the size and placement of the bead as line speeds change. Users can easily vary the amount of lubricant to accommodate different requirements, including abrasion characteristics of different inks. Controlled application also promotes clean tooling by preventing excess lubricant from building on equipment. The cleaner environment extends periods of operation between line clean-ups and minimizes line stoppages caused by excess lubrication. Nordson offers two CanNeck lubrication systems, which are designed for the application of either mineral oil or wax lubricants to meet specific production requirements.

CanNeck™ Lubrication Systems The CanNeck System for Wax Lubricants CanNeck Lubrication System Controller The CanNeck wax lubrication system is designed for the controlled application of wax lubricants. The system consists of a low-level detector, pattern control timer, heated hose, heated electric gun, low-pressure pneumatic piston pump, and a Nordson Model 3500 Applicator equipped with MultiScan® controls for exceptional temperature control stability. Both CanNeck lubrication systems use a similar package to control gun operation. The Model 3500 Applicator has a 6:1 ratio, dual-acting, reciprocating...
