Welder (SOUCAN)

The canbody welder is at the heart of any three-piece can production line. It forms the body blanks into their basic shape and welds the seam overlap. Soudronic’s SOUCAN welder series is the leader in the market. Its superwima welding principle requires only a minimal overlap of a few tenths of a millimeter. Optimum control of the welding current combined with precision-matched pressure on the overlap guarantees a mashed seam of only 1.4 times the thickness of the sheet metal.

Side Seam Protection

After welding, the next step in the manufacture of a quality can is the application of a durable protective layer to the inner and outer seams to eliminate rusting at welded seams.

Soudronic supplies fully automated powder-coating or wet-lacquering systems for inner seams and for the lacquering of outer seam under SOUCOAT series.

Curing System (SOUCURE)

To harden the seam protective layer, heat treatment is required. After application of lacquer or powder protective layer, the canbody undergoes curing system. Soudronic supplies an advanced gas or induction modular heating system with automatic temperature regulation, speed-adjustable conveyor belt and integrated fume extraction device.

Can and End Press (UNIPRESS)

The UNIPRESS or UNIPRESS/UNIPRESS-RPT multi-die press line is used in the production of round and non-round shells and deep-drawn cans. The sheet feed multi-die press is capable of stamping and forming up to eight cans in a single stroke.

Peel Off End System (UNISEAL)

The UNISEAL HSS automatic thermo-sealing machine is used to produce peel-off ends. It includes a ring-forming module which can produce either composite film or aluminum foil sealed ends. The machine allows a production speed of up to 200 ends per minute at each of the one to three lanes.

Leak Tester (TEST-O-MAT)

The TEST-O-MAT is a pressure decay leakage tester for three-piece cans with double-seamed bottoms. It handles production speed up to 1200 cpm and is suitable for all common can sizes diameters 52–99 mm, heights 35–135 mm. The use of compressed air as a testing medium ensures that every part of the can, including the double seam, is tested.

CAN-O-MAT Combination Machine

The CAN-O-MAT Combination Machine is a proven machine suitable for multiple applications, parting, shaping, necking, flanging, beading and seaming. With fast, simple retooling, it combines extremely high productivity with top product quality, while offering high safety levels and effective protection for operators.

END-O-MAT System

The END-O-MAT is a multi-die production line for lids, EO shells, rings, bottom ends and twisted-off caps. With tonnage selection from 50 tons to 150 tons, the END-O-MAT can run up to 20 dies at 240 strokes per minute (spm), depending on press size and product diameter. The machine’s infeed can be sheet-feed or coil-feed.

Curler

Stamped ends with an initial curl are processed in a disc curler for round steel or aluminum ends. Soudronic’s curler features a large diameter fixed curling segment and a rotating curling disc which allow ultra-thin end material (DR) to be curled accurately at high speed up to 2000 ends per minute.

Liner

Soudronictec’s high-speed rotary liner is suitable for all types of compound applications. It can handle production speed from 600 epm to 2000 epm with 4, 6 or 8 spindles, diameter range between 48 mm (113) and 153 mm (603).
