High speed Bodymaking and Trimming from one fully integrated machine
The 5500 Canmaker is a new concept in 2 piece canmaking, based on the proven 5000 Series Bodymaker integrated with a new trimming unit.
The bodymaker is an advanced, horizontal, double action press for production of steel or aluminium cans at high speeds and efficiencies. With a record number of sales worldwide since its launch in 1991, the 5000 has become the industry standard.
The 5500 Canmaker builds on this success, enabling even higher speeds with consistency and reliability from an integrated system.
The trimming unit is a 4 head rotary system capable of handling all standard DWI can sizes. Cans are fed from the bodymaker into the vacuum infeed turret, and loaded onto the self-centering tooling. Multiple pins conform to the untrimmed edge, and the can is held stationary while a penetrating disc moves eccentrically against an outer knife ring, trimming the can in one movement.
An important feature of this process is that the burr remains on the trim and not the can, improving down-line can handling. The perfectly trimmed can exits the trimmer and the trim is ejected separately using the multiple pins with air assistance.
