Metal cylinder containers production line

Today, the demand for metal boxes is growing year by year. Because these products are used in many industries, for example; It is used for packing tea, vegetable and fruit products, canned meat and fish, oils, varnish materials, chemicals, gifts and souvenirs, confectionery and other food products.

“AFEX-GROUP” company provides information on the modern semi-automatic technology, which is useful in the packaging of lacquer-paint products from 1 liter to 5 liters, aimed at the production project of metal containers!

Raw materials

Depending on the types of products to be packed, 3004/3104, 5042/5182 brand metal sheet materials can be used.

Necessary infrastructures to start operations

Required area; It should not be less than 150 m².

Electric energy; 77 KW/380 V.

Number of workers; 10-12 people.

Line equipment

1. Equipment for cutting to size.

2. Circle forming equipment.

3. Welding equipment.

4. Circular bending equipment.

5. Connecting equipment.

6. Welding (for hook) equipment.

7 Stamping (press) equipment.

8. Equipment for bending the cover circle.

9. Chiller.

Cutting-to-size equipment – With the help of the equipment, metal sheets with a width of 1 meter, a thickness of 0.35 mm, and a minimum cutting width of 52 mm can be cut to the required sizes. In this equipment, the metal sheets cut to the specified sizes are sent to the circle forming equipment.

Circular forming equipment – This equipment can produce circular metal boxes with a circular diameter of 65-300 mm and a height of 50-400 mm. Formed circular metal sheets are sent to welding equipment.

Welding Equipment- This equipment joins together and welds formed circular metal sheets. The equipment can be used for the production of round metal cans with a diameter of 52-300 mm, a height of up to 400 mm, i.e. from 0.5 ml to 20 liters.

Circle Bending Equipment – At this stage, the welded circular boxes are bent at 45° to join the upper and lower lids of the circle. The boxes made in the machine are sent to the next machine to combine the top and bottom lids with the box body.

Joining equipment – this equipment is used to join the top and bottom covers with the body of the box.

Welding (Hook) Equipment- If you want to make metal containers with hooks, this equipment is required. In the equipment, the hook is welded to the body of the box (metal details prepared in the stamping equipment). (This metal part is not included in the equipment or mold line, please contact our company for more information.)

Stamping (press) equipment – 5 pieces of this equipment are included in the line, because the production of upper and lower covers includes 5 processes. That is, 5 molds are required. There is 1 stamping die for the upper cover, 1 stamping die for the lower cover, 3 stamping dies for the ring circle.

⚠️ When starting your activity, you can buy the necessary amount of these equipments, based on your ability. You can apply 5 technological processes in the production of top and bottom caps using one or two tool changeover methods. But this technological process leads to a sharp drop in production volume. Therefore, since each mold requires the purchase of equipment, the 5 equipment prices are shown in the line total.

The lid circle bending equipment is used to completely re-bend the 45° bent part of the central lid in order to close the lid and increase the quality level.

Chiller- For cooling with air. The device is mainly an auxiliary device for welding equipment.
