Metal Packaging Solution

We design, construct, install and maintain fully integrated canbody production lines, operating in a range from very low speeds to a maximum of 500 cans per minute.

    1. Three-piece Can Production Line Phase Change Materials (PCMs)
    2. The most commonly used cans are three-piece sanitary cans which consist of a body and two end pieces that are joined together to provide a hermetic, or perfect, seal. Most commonly used for foods that are heat processed they are also used for packaging powders, syrups, and many other products that are not heat-processed. The most common shape is a round cylinder but square and oval flat cans are used, particularly for seafood processing.

Typically, a production system has six separate stations: a slitter to cut the tinplate base material into body blanks of the required size; a transfer system to feed the cut blanks from the slitters to the canbody welder. A welding unit to shape and weld the canbody. a seam protection system to prevent oxidation and chemical reactions damaging the welded can. A curing system to dry and harden the seam protection. And a body former (to give the canbody its final profile and shape). A single control system, equipped with a touchscreen panel, is used for central operation and control of the entire production line.

Ms Juile

I can say that it was the right choice buying the can line from Shantou Light. They are the epitome of professionalism when it comes to can making. They did not simply sell us a machine, but helped us build a project in detail and trained us. Because we are new at making cans, I can say that without their help, we would not have found the success we have.
