Technical dataCMC 200 and 250 production lines
16 / Ovens – DryerLacquers and inks are cured in ovens, which gives them their perfect optical appearance and makes them resistant to environmental influences.
11 / IBO – Inside bake ovenThe IBO creates the temperatures required by the lacquer manufac-turers for interior lacquer hardening and therefore guarantees product safety. 10 / Inside spray machine
The inside spray machines applies lacquer to the inside of the can. Spray lances are dipped into the cans and, as the lance is pulled out, the cans are sprayed with internal coating and sealed. Then they are dried again. The cans are now ready for decorating.
9 / AccumulatorThe accumulator ensures non-stop production operations by synchro-nising the machine speeds and emptying the dryer in the event that the machine stops.
7 / Washer In the washer, the formed cylinders are washed using water with a temperature of 80° C and a detergent additive. The washing water is applied in an environment-friendly cascade.
8 / DryerThe cans are dried inside and outside in a dryer, which can operate on gas or electricity.
15 / Overvarnish O/V The third machine in the Deco area applies the overvarnish. The O/V is the visible finish of the can. Next to the fact that the O/V can give shiny surfaces, it ensures high output in fillers conveying systems.
14 / DecoratorThe second machine in the Deco area is the printing unit, which can apply up to nine colours, ensuring the widest possible decora-tion variety for monoblock packagings made of aluminium. The decorator is also equipped with a QA system for a perfect and stable print finish.
13 / Base coaterThe first machine in the Deco area is the base coater. This is where the cans receive the base coat, which is needed to protect the can, but also serves as a substrate for a sub -sequent brilliant printing.
12a / Two Flexstore accumulatorsare the main components in the Everline concept (patent pending). If the decoration assembly stops, the Front end of the line can continue to operate, and all finished cans are buffered in the Flexstore 12a. The area behind the decoration assembly (Back end) can also continue to operate, as it receives its cans from the filled Flex store 12b. This means that the Front end and the Back end of the line are never at a standstill, even during a label change.
17 / Necker In the necker, the cylin-drical can body is tapered step by step by means of die necking. The final step is curling of the 1" opening.
18 / The neck checkis another quality control step: special attention is paid to the curl.
12b / Flexstore The accumulator ensures non-stop production operations by synchro ni-sing the machine speeds and emptying the curing ovens in the event that the machine stops.
20 / Packaging machineOnly cans which are 100 % fault-free are allowed to proceed to the packaging station. At this machine, cans are packed for shipping to the filling locations. Cans can be bundled in hexagonal packs for subsequent manual handling at the filling plant.
19 / Leak detectorDetects microleaks as small as 50 microns. The detector checks the bottles in two steps:1. The lacquer on damaged
spots is removed by compressed air.
2. The photocell detects when rays of light fall into the cans. Quality control guarantees 100 % perfect cans.
3 / Impact Extrusion PressThe extrusion press turns the slugs into cylinders by pressing a punch into the slug with a force of up to 400 tons. The aluminium becomes plastic and flows back along the wall of the punch.
Operation:Aluminium slug enters at the front and cans ready to be � lled are the � nished product at the end of the line – in a single continuous process. The line consists of three modules: The Front end produces the cylinder. In the Deco area protective coatings and the label are applied to the can. The Back end is for necking and quality checks, including packaging.
Automatic High-Speed Line CMC 200 and 250 for the production of Monoblock Aluminium Packagesat 200/250 pcs./minute
5 / Pick-up systemA Pick-up system removes the cans from the con veyor and pushes them onto a pin chain conveyor. The system has a small buffer section to decouple the Front end from the rest of the line.
4 / Ironing machineThe cylinders coming out of the extrusion press enter the ironing press, where the wall thickness is optimised and the bottom of the cylinder is formed. This can body shape permits more uniform and more lightweight cans.
1 / Material infeed The raw material is a circular blank, a so-called slug, made of aluminium. The slugs are filled into the conveyor and forwarded to the lubrication drum, where they are lubricated, separated and aligned for further processing.
2 / Slug infeedThe slugs are reliably forwarded in the direc-tion of the press via an adjustable active conveyor system and a patented chute system.
6 / The MHB – trimming and brushing machineIn the trimming and brushing machine, the can is shortened to the specified length. What is important is that the mall//herlan machine prevents the formation of burrs. The trimmed can is pushed onto a mandrel in the machine and the surface then matt-finished by rotating brushes.
