Flanger

Overview

For the top and bottom end processing, the spiral wound and cut to length can body is fed to a flanging machine. The flanger forms the open cut edge depending on the requirements for the final packaging:

• bead / curl to the outside or inside for subsequent heat-sealing of an aluminum or plastic membrane
• calibrating / widening the can for insertion of a deep-drawn membrane
• flange to the outside for closing with a metal end

Various versions are available at Blema, depending on product dimensions and performance requirements.

Design and Function

fully automatic, continuous processing machine in turret design

• product separation out of can accumulation on the conveyor with driven stop star and double transport screw
• beading at the upper end of the can with heated or unheated die flanging tools
• die flanging or calibrating at the lower end of the can
• axial fixing of the cans by vacuum suction or mechanical ejection with segmented tools
• safe discharge of the can bodies onto the discharge belt by means of a double screw
• integrated camera control (optional)
• rigid turret construction
• cam-controlled lifter movements
• automatic can height adjustment
• quick tool change
• safety enclosure with mechanical or magnetic safety switches
