SFM1/11

The series of SFM stretch forming machines has been developed for stretch forming can bodies to meet the steadily increasing demands for higher output. The machine is based on the same principle as the well known and proven types of single and dual head stretch forming machines of the AFMR series.These machines are capable of stretch forming either soldered or welded can bodies. The final shape of the can is determined by the tools which are build for the machine: rectangular, oval, mandolin shaped, square with rounded ends or virtually any other shape within the limitations of the material used.

AFMR / AFMK / AFMP

The AFMR machine is designed for automatic forming of cylindrical, soldered or welded bodies. The body can be formed to rectangular, oval or pear-shaped cross-section, depending on the tooling mounted in the machine. The AFMR machine is designed with two stations. In the first station the cylindrical body is overlap-controlled, i.e. the overlap is always placed in right position in relation to the cross-section of the body or decoration, if any. The overlap can be placed 360° along the whole circumference of the body. In the second station a tooling is mounted. This tooling makes the design of the body.

SFV

The machine has two vertical working stations. The side seam locating unit is situated in the first and the stretch forming station in the second. The cycle runs from left to right. The final shape of the can is determined by the tooling which is fitted to the machine. The final shape can be rectangular, oval, mandolin shaped, square with round ends, round, cylindrical, conical, bellied, embossed or beaded or any other shape within the limitations of the material used.

SBA 200

The fully automatic SBA 200 is a double-end body flanger designed to handle rectangular and irregular, as well as round and cone-shaped can bodies. The machine can be set up for welded, soldered, or locked side seams. A variable motor drive allows adjustment to suit a wide range of can body shapes and line speeds. Squeeze flanging eliminates buckling of the can bodies and over-flanging on the corners. This makes the unit especially suitable for tall and thin can bodies. In addition, the radius of the flange can be easily selected, ensuring an optimal seam with the can ends.

STA

Automatic unit to flange round and round tapered can bodies on both ends.
Following variants can be supplied:

• autmatic die flanging unit
• automatic spin flanging unit

By using the die flanging model in special design equipped with adequate tooling one body end can be flanged, the other one provided with a curl. Essential features of the spin flanging model are the contra rotating tooling heads with greatest possible number of freewheeling flanging rolls. This model is also suitable to flange thin, hard metals. Both designs are driven by a variable speed gear motor which allows an optimal adaption of output regarding can shape as well as production line. According to the output requested the automatic unit can be supplied with 4 or 6 stations.

VA 171

The machine seams irregular and round cans and containers of all kinds and is particularly suitable for seaming bottom and top ends onto square and rectangular containers. The machine is fitted with two 4-roller seaming heads, one for the first and one for the second seaming operation. The table height is fixed whereas the seaming top can be adjusted by the gear motor to the respective container height The output is infinitely variable enabling adaption to the container shape and size.

VA 457

The machine seams cans of all kinds. A bottom/lid is seamed onto a stationary can. For the first and the second seaming operation, a 4 roller-seaming head system is used. Table height is constant whereas the seaming top can be adjusted by a servomotor to the respective can height. Output is variable, enabling adaption to can shape and size.

DFS 125

This automatic flanger and double seamer is used for the production of round cans of all kinds. Following designs are available:

• automatic flanger – bottom seamer
• spin flanger – bottom seamer
• roller flanger – necker – bottom seamer
• curler and/or bottom seamer

The seaming station also handles funnel lids as well as RCD lids (ring lid foil combination) for coffee cans, milk powder cans and the like. In the machine with roller flanging equipment it is possible to produce a guard bead parallel to the flange.

SIA 180

The machine is suitable for beading round can bodies or for parting prescored welded can bodies in two parts. It operates with propeller beading shafts so that finished cans with seamed ends as well as can bodies can be beaded. This is an advantage in the manufacture of cans in automatic die-flanging-seaming machines as pre-beaded bodies may collapse in the beads during the die flanging operation. Guard beads and outer beads are possible.

WB 50

This machine is used for welding ears, type Larsen 30-S, automatically to round, cylindrical or conical cans, and then automatically forming and attaching bails made of steel wire. The kind of welding process means that cans can be processed which are decorated or lacquered both on the inside and the outside. The design of the bail forming tooling means that, to a large extent, it is possible to produce customer-specific bail shapes. The bails can be provided with a plastic grip

B 20-A

This machine is used for welding ears, type Larsen 20-S, automatically to round, cylindrical or conical cans, with automatic can separation and orientation and automatic ear separation and infeed. The kind of welding process means that cans can be processed which are decorated or lacquered both on the inside and the outside.

U 190

This machine is used for welding handles automatically to rectangular canister lids. The standard version is designed for plastic handles which are welded with the customer’s own single bracket to steel lids. Since the welding current has to flow from the electrode through the bracket and the lid to the counter electrode, only lids which are not lacquered on the reverse around the counter electrode can be processed. The machine is available as a special design for customer-specific handles, even those made of wire.

H 20

This machine is used for attaching wire bails automatically to round cans which have already been provided with ears, type Larsen 20-S, at an earlier stage in production. The following functions are fully automatic:
1. Separation of the cans which are transported by the customer’s own feeding belt (standing one behind the other in a queue, with random orientation of ears)
2. Search for, identification and positioning of ears.
3. Separation and infeed of positioned, pre-cut wires as well as forming and attaching the bail.
