Today's can-necking operations need to keep pace with smaller end sizes. Problems such as pleating and black lines increase rejects and make it difficult to increase line speeds.
Nordson CanNeck Lubrication Systems apply a defined and controllable bead of lubricant to the open end of cans, assuring the precise amount of lubricant is on each can as it enters the necker. The systems provide accurate, adjustable control with varying line speeds up to 3,000 cans per minute, and automatically maintain the size and placement of the bead.
- Automatically adjusts amount of lubricant dispensed to minimize pleating and black lines
- Accommodates line speeds up to 3,000 cpm
- Two different system configurations provide the flexibility to dispense either wax or mineral oil
- Simple adjustment of the amount of lubricant dispensed accommodates abrasion characteristics of different inks
- Low-level detector alerts operator to add lubricant without interrupting production
