Drum Reconditioning Equipment

Merco Machines designs entire production plants according to the customers’ specifi c requirements, with respect to layout, functionality, desired output and integration into existing production facilities. As shown on the architecture below, a body expander, a fl anger/curler, a bead expander, a combined W-beader/corrugator and a shuttle conveyor are integrated into a single frame appliance.Note that the generalised use of frequency controllers and the latest servo drive systems has distinctive ad-vantages over implementing hydraulic based actuators: they allow faster production rates -up to 900 drums

Settings for a wide variety of product variants are saved inside modern touchscreen control panels, allowing automatic tool exchange and adjustments for fast and save changeover.

Merco Machines can equip your company with state-of-the-art machines for tight head and open head steel reconditioning.

per hour-, are lighter and result in less load on the drive systems. Furthermore, they generate less heat and are more energy effi cient, reliable, easier to control allowingthe use of virtual axes and require less maintenance, thus improving effi ciency and reducing downtime.Smooth movements are generated by electronic cams and advanced positioning controls, drastically reducing shocks, vibration, wear and noise.Higher speeds and increased productivity can be obtained easily, thanks to a perfect and stable synchro-nisation between movements.
