C AN-O-MAT II

The CAN-O-MAT is a mature multi-function system

designed to meet the technical and commercial
canmaking challenge of the future.
l High level of process capability
l High level of modularity
l Wide variety of application
l Safety and operator protection

C A N-O-MAT II SYSTEM

CAN-O-MAT II
Combined machine system for all Multi-function
system
forming and seaming operations.
The CAN-O-MAT II is available
from 1 to 4 station machine in SHAPING NECKING FLANGING BEADING SEAMING
any combination.
Die expanding Die necking Die flanging Twin roll beading Roll seaming

The machine is plc controlled,

Spread
has an automatic bottom feeding expanding
Spin flanging

system, is completely covered

Swing
according to EU safety regulations flanging
and has a very good access to the
tool area.

SHAPING DI E EXPAN DI N G

Process for forming and enlarging of canbodies at the ends

l Forming of homogenous round shapes
l Forming up to the end of the body from one end
(neck-type) or from two ends (shape-type)
l Preparation of canbodies for spread expanding

SPREAD EXPAN DI N G Die expanding

Process for forming and enlarging of can bodies in the center

l Forming of all kinds of diabolo or barrel type
shapes
l Forming in single or double action mode
l New innovative forming segment guiding device

Spread expanding
NECKING DI E N ECKI N G

Process for die forming of stacking necks

l single die neck at the bottom side
l use of carbide or ceramic tools
l idie necking is suitable for the precise necking of
thin and hard DR material
l cheapest and fastest and most accurate necking
process

FLANGING DI E- FLAN G I N G

Process for die forming of flanges of XXL cans

or of soft material bodies.
Ideal for processing softer higher gauge SR as well as DR
material, such as frequently used for larger can diameters.
l single die tooling at bottom and top side
l very precise flange width
l minimized tin and lacquer abrasion
l use of steel and carbide tools Die-flanging

SPI N FLAN G I N G

Spin forming process for all cans and

materials – low risk of flange cracks.
l active driven long life tool steel spins
l with carbide spins suitable for white
lacquered cans
l low risk of flange cracks
l wide range of applications, especially
for DR materials
Spin flanging
SW I N G FLAN G I N G

Advanced flanging system treats sensitive cans

surfaces gently and safely, cuts maintenance
time to a minimum (for dia. 99 mm only).
l reduces flange width variation compared with spin
flanging thanks to swinging die flanging process
l local and sequential forming similar to spin flang-
ing avoids cracks, also on DR material
l less relative movement between body and tooling
similar to die flanging avoids tin and lacquer abra-
sion, especially with white lacquer
l rigid tooling design avoids wear and break downs
for DR materials
 BEADING TW I N RO L L B E A D I N G

The bead profile and the beading process are responsible

for the paneling and axial load of cans for processed food.
The bead is formed between an inner and an outer
driven roll in 4 to 8 revolutions (adjustable).
l twin roll beaders have simple toolings and setting
l accurate bead forming due to more revolutions
l adjustable number of revolutions
l allows the forming of protection and roll beads
Twin roll beading l easy and fast height changeover
l FEA-based calculations help to design optimized
bead profiles

RO L L S E A MI N G

Traditional seaming process in an innovative design for

seaming integrated in the CAN-O-MAT II.
l good access to the tools because they are
positioned at the bottom and on the outside
l easy and simple roll adjustment
l rigid tool design
l only one roll lever (minimum number of mov-
able parts)
l rolls adjustable from 99 mm to 153 mm cans
Roll seaming l steel, surface coated, carbide and ceramic rolls
available
