Precision Beverage Can Tooling Built for Performance and Longevity

Beverage Can Tooling

CAN BODY FORMING TOOLING

• Cupper Tooling: Can body forming begins by blanking aluminum sheets and forming them into shallow cups, establishing the foundation for precise can shaping. It utilizes punches, blank and draw dies, and draw pads to ensure uniformity, with scrap choppers managing excess material to maintain efficiency.
• Body Making Tooling: This tooling extends shallow cups into cylindrical can-bodies using punches, redraw sleeves, and ironing dies. These components work together to achieve consistent wall thickness, precise dimensions, and structural strength, ensuring durability throughout production.
• Necker Tooling: Shapes the top of the can body to form a precise neck using dies, spin rollers, and curl/flange tooling. This precision ensures the neck matches lid specifications for a secure fit and maintains consistent can performance.
• End Tooling: Transforms pre-formed shells into fully functional can ends by adding features such as tabs, rivets, and scoring for easy opening. The process includes curling and forming to ensure a secure fit and reliable sealing for beverage containers.
• Curler Tooling: Shapes the edges of can components, such as the top or bottom of the can body and the can ends, by curling the material to create a smooth, rounded edge. This process prepares the edges for seaming, ensuring they are formed correctly for a tight, secure fit when the can is assembled.
• Seaming Tooling: Joins the can body and ends by curling and compressing them to form a tight, secure seal. It ensures a precise fit and durable connection, maintaining the integrity of the beverage container and preventing leaks or contamination.
