All about precision
Compound for beverage ends is applied at vertiginous speeds on rotary liners. Liners have usually 6-10 injectors that rotate. In addition, also can ends rotate on chucks at a speed of about 4000 rpm. The compound is applied on each end during 50 milliseconds (0.05s), and in this time end rotates more than 3 turns.
Beverage ends and cans bodies are made of very thin aluminum and, the industry is interested in further reducing metal thickness. Therefore, it is of key importance the sealant used for seaming of beverage cans is fully adaptable to the precise and tight parameters of the seam.
