Accessories for Products and Lines
We provide a wide range of accessories suited for each process step of a can manufacturing system. Additional equipment and devices support and facilitate operations. Manual and electrical measuring instruments, monitoring and testing devices can be used to check and ensure the quality of the products during production and help to reduce machine downtime.
Accessories Slitter
Driven roller conveyor
The most attractively priced solution to feed the pallets of sheets easily into the slitter.
Roller cutters grinder
This is a must to keep the roller cutters in good condition. The grinding operation should be done at least once a year to avoid burrs and bad cuts. To perform the grinding operation, this unit can be mounted on the frames of the slitter (1st and 2nd table) to grind the roller cutters in the position where they are.
Digital measuring device to adjust roller cutters
For a rapid and precise positioning of the roller cutters.
Can be integrated in the control of the slitter on TSN and SGS slitter or stand alone unit for any other Ocsam Cepak slitter.
Margin Control
The best solution to check on the slitter if the lithography is in line with the sheet. It is checking at the exit of the 1st table if both sides of the sheets are free of lacquer.
Scraps conveyors
The most reliable magnetic scraps conveyors for every kind of scraps (long, short, and big).
Available in 2 version:
– Standard type: 1200 mm height
– Z type: 1650 mm height
Digital roller cutter adjusting unit
To adjust the roller cutters precisely and within shortest time we provide a digital roller cutter adjusting unit which can be mounted on the slitter. For first and second cutting operation, depending on the type of knives being used.
Cutter grinding
The accuracy of the cut blanks highly depends on the status of the roller cutter knives. To avoid unprecise cutting and burrs, a semiannual or annual sharpending of the knives is a must. Best to be done with a precise and easy to use grinding unit.
Blank measuring unit
A good can starts with a good blank. To do important offline controls we provide the blank measuring unit to ensure that cutting tolerances are kept within the limits.
Driven roller conveyor
The driven roller conveyor can be placed in front of the slitter to place ready to be cut sheets with a forklift. The pallet is transported by a driven roller system into slitter’s downstacker.
Accessories Transfer
Ocsam Cepak TPM / TPM-S
Removable and adjustable blanks cassette
Recommended one adjustable cassette for each diameter to speed up the diameter change.
Ocsam Cepak TPM / TPM-S
Removable and dedicated blanks cassette
Recommended a dedicated cassette for body blanks height <75mm, to speed up the change over with small blanks.
Can Man PowerFEED S
Blank Buffer
The blank buffer is made with highest quality components to grant a smooth transfer of blanks and blank stacks into the compartments. Blank collectors for different blank sizes and even in customized executions are available.
Accessories Welder
Welding roller dressing unit
Professional and exact profiling of the welding roll is an important factor for a smooth canbody production. With Soudronic’s dressing unit this job can be done on a high-quality standard, no matter which brand of welding roll is used.
Cold pressure welder
With the cold pressure welder two ends of copper wire can be welded together if the copper wire coil is empty or after a wire break. Welding the two ends together avoids the job of re-threading the copper wire which can be a quite time-consuming job, especially on aged welders and welders of other brands because the wiring is complicated.
Tinplate hardness tester BLTE 1000
Easy but efficient: With the spring back tester material hardnesses can be tested very easily. Such a check can be made when sheets are entering the plant to make sure that the material is supplied as ordered as well as on the slitter. Material-differences in regards of hardness and temper which might result in waste or down time cost much more money than a control device.
Ball tester
Check the stability/strength of the seam throughout the entire canbody length, including beginning and end of the welded seam. The seam has to withstand either high pressures and mechanical stresses, espcially aerosol and food cans.
Inside diameter measuring unit
With the easy to handle and compact inside diameter measuring unit offline quality controls can be done very easily and the set-up process in case of a format-change can be monitored and controlled.
