Soudronic welders built in the 1970s and 1980s continue to operate successfully in can making facilities around the world. However, maintaining these machines is becoming increasingly challenging as spare parts become harder to source and expertise for legacy systems continues to decline.
To ensure reliable production and long-term support, we recommend evaluating a replacement with the latest generation of welding systems. The table below provides our recommended successor machines and available Premium conversion packages for selected welder types.
