In a direct reference to the proposed takeover by Toyo Seikan, Finn added: “We view it in a positive light. We see Toyo Seikan as having a strong presence, particularly in Asia Pacific. Stolle has strong links in the US, Europe and the Middle East so we see it as a good mirage.”

With a pedigree dating back to the 1930s and an international customer base drawn from all corners of the globe, CMbE is a market leader in the design, develop- ment and manufacture of can making machinery. Sales manager Adrian Long took time out to give CanTech International a tour around the site. The constant hustle and bustle of staff working, blended in with the humming and grinding of many of the com- pany’s machines, creates a noise that you’d expect from this sort of environment. But it also helps you to appreciate exactly how much effort goes into this industry. Across the 11,000m² site is a range of CMbE’s machines and equip- ment including bodymakers, trimmers, cupper die sets, inside spray machines, die neckers and the company’s latest development, the Sovereign Decorator. All are great examples of the work being carried out by CMbE. If you walk into any can plant throughout the world there is a Sales manager Adrian Long (pictured left); general manager Jim Cozier (pictured third from right); and plant good chance that you’ll see equipment from CMbE run- manager Andrew Truelove (pictured right) with other CmbE staff in front of the company’s latest development, the Sovereign Decorator ning on a line.

“We acquired a manufacturing licence from Standun to manufacture the B2 bodymaker and the Standun cup- ping press. When I joined the company they had started working on the Spin Necking process, which resulted in the 160 spin necker flanger being produced. This was a massive achievement for the factory. At that time they were moving from three-piece to two-piece machinery in a big way.” From the mid 1980s, the factory was busy making neck- ers and some bodymakers. In 1988, Standun and CMbE went their separate ways and CMbE brought out its own bodymaker, the 5000. “This was significantly different to a Standun,” notes Long. “On a bodymaker at that time you had a supple- mentary shaft called a jackshaft. You didn’t have a direct drive and went through some big gears to get the actual speed that you wanted. By removing the jackshaft and putting in a bigger drive and fly wheel we found that you

In the following extrusion (IE) and deep draw and wall article, I aim to give some guidance which will help avoid ironing (DWI) pitfalls.

You can see that the remaining wall thickness is typically between 34 and 51 per cent of the thickness of the redraw cup wall. The length of the redraw cup is increased by a factor of two to three. So far we calculated the blank diameter, the cup and redraw cup dimensions and we obtained the max length of the can after ironing. The result is shown in Figure 3.

well known containers. You can see that a half litre beer can is not much of a problem. It is well below the diago- nal lines, ie the forming limits and it can be done with a rather small stroke. This is the reason why the beverage can industry has been successful in optimising this technology in recent decades. The two red dots represent two aerosol cans. You can see that these cans are on the forming limit. A 49x195mm can is not limited by machine technology, but by metal physics. A 26” bodymaker should do the job. Any longer stroke is a waste of energy and efficiency for cans with smaller diameters. The tallest can you can make is about a 250mm can for diameter 65mm which requires a stroke of about 31”. The good news is that the area below the diagonal and Figure 3: For each can diameter a max height is given by the physics of the used material below the vertical lines covers the standard aerosol cans pretty well. Most DWI aluminium aerosol cans require coil material between 0.45 and 0.65mm, in some cases even thicker. The material used for impact extrusion is a non-recycled, virgin aluminium with strength of about 150 MPa. The DWI process offers two options which are not available for IE: the material can be recycled and it can be much stronger. DWI aluminium reaches about 290 MPa and steel between 300 and 450 MPa. Recycled material is beneficial for the sustainability of the final product. Strong material allows us to reduce the wall thickness and the weight of container, which we will discuss later.

The new share in Europe production process for beverage cans has improved con- siderably since then and has quickly become the standard for carbonated beverages. Less widely known is that in the 1970s, when DWI cans for carbonated drinks had already made their entrance in Europe, some can makers had already started to apply the DWI technology for two-piece food cans. The company that was the first in Europe to use this technology for food cans was a company then known as Mardon-Illingworth, based in Sutton-in-Ashfield, which is now part of the Ardagh Group.

Back in his office Jager explains how the first line came to the Deventer plant. “When Impress acquired the European part of US Can with can making plants in Germany and Denmark, we got a pet food can market that was big enough together with the pet food markets we already served to justify investments in DWI can making. Looking at our options we realised that since the acquisition of the then Alcan plant in Sutton-in-Ashfield we also had the option now to use that DWI technology. We studied the DWI option in depth with our English colleagues, got convinced that this was the way to go and in 2006 the top management assigned us the money needed.

Jager adds: “The new can is a strong and visually attrac- tive, modern can.

You put a coil of tinplate at the start of the line and after an uninterrupted series of processes you fill the for the customers. Quite different from the three-piece can making process where you have all the separate operations that often lead to intermediate stocks that need constant fine-tuning like coil cutting, coating, making ends, welding the bodies, seaming the bottom end etc. And our customers praise the good processability of the two-piece food cans. We were so satisfied with the DWI process for food cans that just over a year ago we built a ‘little sister DWI plant’ as we call it, in Moelan in Brittany, France.” Ardagh’s plant in Deventer, Netherlands

This was also the case for household and chemical Aluminium aerosol can producers also successfully products. developed new applications for their products in the last few years. In the body care sector some new products have gained ground such as suntan sprays, shower gels or foam soaps. In the oral care market you will find tooth- paste cans on the shelves. In the food sector, oil, vinegar and other cooking products are packed in aerosols. And in the household sector room sprays and pet care products in aluminium aerosol cans are used. Due to the buoyant market several aluminium aerosol can producers worldwide have enlarged their produc- tion capacities in 2011 and will continue to do so in 2012 because the industry strongly believes in the sustained success of the product. In this context efficient production management is needed to keep lead times to accept- able limits so that customers do not have to consider alternative packaging due to a lacking availability of aerosol cans.

Challenges ahead However, the success of the industry is no reason to rest on one’s laurels because there are several challenges ahead in the coming years. As far as sustainability is concerned the industry will take up the challenge to further downgauge the container, to boost energy efficiency in the production plants and help to improve the recycling of aluminium aerosol containers, especially in those countries where recycling rates are still poor. The vision must be that the material loop is complete- ly closed and no aluminium goes to landfill anywhere in the world. In this context Aerobal fully shares the key sustain- ability messages of the newly founded organisation Metal Packaging Europe (MPE) saying that metal is a permanent

material which is infinitely recyclable and that the end-of- life recycling makes under ecological aspects more sense for metal packaging than the marketing-driven recycled metal content approach. Another production technology-related challenge is that the overall competitive situation of impact-extruded aluminium aerosol cans might change due to the emer- gence of new draw and wall ironing (DWI) technologies such as the vertical body maker ICON-V Drive technology recently introduced by Schuler and a new technology developed by Mall + Herlan which has recently presented the world’s first steel aerosol can made from one piece of metal. This can is made by using the DWI process on the company’s new MH Hi-Flex DWI lines. Although these new technologies, which are based on higher strength alloys, are as a first step probably mainly aimed at standard cylin- drical containers of bigger diameters, they may in future also become a challenge for shaped impact extruded aluminium aerosol cans in general.

Competition and coatings On top of that some major packaging produc- ers are developing aerosol containers made of PET. True,

they still have some major disadvantages compared to Gregor Spengler aluminium cans such as limited resistance to higher pres- sure and temperature, not resistant to pure Dimethylether As far as sustainability is concerned the industry (DME) and pure propane/butane, high permeability of will take up the challenge to further downgauge CO and worse recyclability.

However, the aluminium aerosol can industry has to watch out for this competitor. Growth potential in growing economies ’ With regard to coatings a major challenge will be to Recent heavy investments by big cosmetics companies in replace polyamide-imid (PAM) internal lacquers, which growing markets such as South America, Middle America, are mainly used for containers for hair care products, by Russia and Asia show that there is considerable growth alternative internal liquid or powder coatings.

In Europe and North America between coatings has also come under increasing fire in many 10 and 11 aerosol cans are used per consumer per year. countries in Europe.

If a French ban triggers a worldwide two cans per year. domino effect, the can industry will be in serious trouble.
