SFM2/22
The machine has been developed to meet the ever growing demand for higher production output for expanded can bodies. It is based on the same principle as our well-known and proven types of single- and double-headed expansion machines of the AFMR series. The SFM can process both longitudinally welded and brazed hulls. In each case, the shape is determined by the expanding tool used on the machine. The fuselage cross-section can be rectangular, oval, mandolin-shaped, square with round ends, or can be given any other shape that is within the sheet metal’s formability range.

AFMR / AFMK / AFMP
The AFMR automatically processes brazed or welded can bodies. Rectangular, oval and other cross-sections can be formed with appropriate tools. The shell surfaces can be parallel or conical. The machine has two working stations. In the first station, the hull is seam-positioned. The position of the welded or brazed seam can be easily fixed by adjusting the safety catch to any position around the entire circumference. In the second station, the fuselage is formed into the desired shape by a hydraulically operated expanding tool.

SBA 200
The machine flanges cylindrical and conical can bodies of any shape on both sides using the slide flanging method. The advantage of this method is that small hull plate thicknesses and large hull heights can be processed without the risk of hull buckling or overrolling of the flanging in the radius area.

SBA 300
The machine flanges cylindrical and conical can bodies of any shape on both sides using the slide flanging method. The advantage of this method is that small hull plate thicknesses and large hull heights can be processed without the risk of hull buckling or overrolling of the flanging in the radius area.

U 190
The machine is designed for automatic welding of bails to rectangular canister lids. The standard version is designed for plastic bails welded to steel lids with two Larsen N-11 or N-15 type fittings. The nature of the welding process allows for the processing of lids that may be decorated or painted on the outside as well as the inside. Special designs for customized fittings and bails, including those made of wire, are also possible.
