Nowadays we are Ball Packaging Europe, part of Ball Corporation. I joined the CTS team as a young engineer and through development I am here today.

The beverage can is a simple but effective container which holds a vast amount of beverage products. This robust container has to arrive at the point of sale and demonstrate to the consumer that the product is worth buying.

The can making process The can maker receives flat coils of aluminium or steel in various gauges depending upon which can size to manufacture. Each coil is inspected and taken in house for processing. The can making plant is split into two main areas com- monly known as the ‘front end’ and the ‘back end’ where- by the front end is where the can dome, body and walls are formed and the back end where the can is decorated, necked, flanged and palletised. The flat coil is led into the cupper press and the initial ‘cup’ is made, this is the initial pre form of the can in prepa- ration for the main bodymaker. Dependant on which can manufacturer these cups all have lanes identification marks which allow for traceability.

The bodymaker is the main forming machine which necking process and one application after the necking produces the can body, sometimes known as a W.I.M (a process. Wall Ironing Machine). Within this machine the can body This inside lacquer has to be food contact compliant dimensions are strictly controlled to give precise mid wall, and also all the can maker customers have to approve this top wall and dome dimensions of the cans. Some cans lacquer as it is in direct contact with their products. A can nowadays have a mid wall thickness of 0.094 mm on maker can provide different lacquers from differing can making plants and more importantly different amounts of lacquer applied dependent on the product to be filled in the beverage can. This is the effective barrier or the filled product to the beverage can. The lacquer is sprayed into the rotating can via nozzles to cover the entire internal surface of the can and then it is conveyed through a high temperature oven for curing. The barrier is now complete.

Necking and flanging Following the lacquer process we now have to neck and flange the can. We have all heard the terms 206, 202, 200 diameter and this comes from the old American imperial sizes whereby 200 is two inches and 202 is 2 and 2/16ths and 206 is 2 and 6 16ths. More modern quotes are 50mm, 52mm etc, all can makers and some machine equipment suppliers know of these 202 and 206 terms. Alternatively 200 diameter is also known as the slim can. More innova- tive can makers have now made a sleek can which is in between slim can and the standard can, which we all know of. The cans are necked by various methods by different can makers from spin neck to full die neck process, but no matter which way the cans are necked, the control of this process is critical to ensure we get a controlled shaped neck form on the can plus a correct flange width. Aligned to this process we also get the flange thickness. This flange width and flange thickness is vitally important to providing a good double seam. In different can making plants there are various ways to aluminium cans and even less on steel cans, just take the apply the clear varnish (aluminium cans only) on the stand time and compare that to a human hair, now one can diameter.

Parting Though the Can-O-Mat is an established production system, Cantec continuously works to make the functions perform better. “In our business the jumps in development may not be as big as in new packaging materials like PET but there are new developments,” notes Bauerdiek. Geide adds: “Parting is one of the areas where you can really do something.

Aktas noted the company recently has expanded its production capacity with the installation of two automatic presses and an automatic dec- orative can line which operates at twice the speed of the com- pany’s existing semi-automatic lines. Until recently Teksan used only semi-automatic machines to make decorative cans. This is due to semi- automatic machines’ greater opera- tional flexibility which is an advantage when making decorative cans as most orders are smaller than orders for industrial cans. To make three-piece industrial cans to hold chemicals, Because of plastics prices, the paint can market is paints and other products Teksan uses semi automatic going to thinner tinplate materials to lower costs and fully automatic lines which include an assortment of European, Turkish and Chinese machines. “To lower costs we have started to switch some lines to Teksan’s total can sales have grown about 50 per cent automatic production.

Double seaming Figure 2. The double seaming principle is independent of the type of closing machine as well as the design of the can. As mentioned, the double seaming is done in two operations. The first operation assembles end and body and “rolls up” the end and the body flange. The second operation com- presses the seam so that hermetic sealing is achieved. A good result depends on many factors, the important ones are: • General state of the closing machine – wear and tear, setting, stability, etc. Continuous control • Design of first and second operations seaming cams If you want to be completely sure of a good seam quality and base plate pressure lifting cam. and effective control of the setting of the double seamer, • Dimension and state of seaming rolls. the following should be checked and assessed regularly: • Base plate pressure of the closing machine. • Visual control (appearance of the seam outside/inside).
