CANS MAKING LINE

Plastic use in primary packaging is major concern for consumers. Cans, on the other hand are the world’s most recycled packaging format.

Aluminum cans are 100% recyclable, while PET always requires a percentage of virgin material, due to the demands of molding processes or food and beverage market legislation.

According to Ourworldindata. org, only 9% of the plastic waste produced between 1950 and 2015, was recycled. And in 2017 only 20% of plastic was recycled.

74.5 %

OF STEEL AND JUST 20% OF PET IS RECYCLED IN THE EU

Approximately 39.9% of plastic waste originates from packaging. This means that out of 269,000 tonnes of plastic floating in the Oceans, 107,000 tonnes come from plastic packaging.

For example, in a food canning line, the most widely used packaging material is steel, while in a beverage canning line it’s aluminum.
To handle these different materials, different technologies must be utilized in the conveyors and the palletizing solutions.
Clevertech’s solutions can handle up to 3,600 cans per minute.

In practice, all type of cans available on the market have been processed by Clevertech system.

Thanks to their flexibility, using different technologies such as vacuum, magnetic, mechanical, containers handling and palletizing, Clevertech’s integrated and holistic solutions, can handle different types of can materials, in all geometries.

CANS PALLETIZING, STRAPPING STRETCH WRAPPING SOLUTIONS

Vertically integrated solutions, from dynamic balancers installed within conversion presses, up to the palletization of empty can containers, have been part of Clevertech’s scope of supply since its foundation. Indeed, the Clevertech Group is very well known in this sectors and has a very strong reputation.

Three different technologies are utilised to handle cans bulk empty containers:

Magnetic
Mechanical
Pneumatic

Two different types of cans materials are normally managed within a can making line:

Aluminum
Steel

To increase can-making-line efficiency and to avoid micro stoppages, three different types of dynamic balancer have been developed:

Magnetic
Mechanical
Pneumatic

Two different set ups are possible in palletization and depalletization in a can making line:

High level
Low level

The core of the can-making line is the conveyor design and efficiency.

The conveyor knowhow within Clevertech is kept in Leantech, 100% part of Clevertech and where all cans, lids, primary and secondary packaging conveyors are designed and assembled.

Conveyor sizing, especially in terms of optimum accumulation within the complete line system, is part of Clevertech’s long-term experience.

Complete and holistic integrated solutions, which start from machine, and it expand to conveyor, are key to Clevertech’s success within can-making industry.

The first result of this holistic approach is an easier-to-use and operator interface which is mirrored across different machines, which also have the same manuals, safety design and electrical-mechanical installation.

Also added value is the software and component list, which are also common across different machines, both of which facilitate simpler and quicker maintenance and a reduced spare-parts inventory.
