Six-out tinplate EOE conversion line

Fortune Precision, based in Guangdong, has launched a six-out conversion line for tinplate/TFS easy-open food ends. It is the first in the world to manufacture 211-diameter steel easy-open ends for food cans.

The conversion system has three sets of double lanes and includes three sets post-repair system. Each lane has a capacity to produce up to 500 ends per minute, offering a total output of 3,000 epm. Based on a Minster PM3-200 press running at up to 400 strokes per minute, the system is fitted with two sets of three-out tooling dies with the facility to be changed from 211 to 200. The line is also capable of converting aluminum shells. The design of the line was very challenging as the working table in the Minster conversion press has a very limited space in which to fit the conversion tooling system. A 6-out tabstock feeding layout was developed to maintain a large span, high-speed forming capability and enough physical strength in the six lanes simultaneously. The design, based on 0.254 millimetre thickness gauge tabs, is said to offer a utilization rate of up to 61,2 per cent.
