This video explains the function of the Internal Bake Oven (IBO) in the can manufacturing process. The IBO plays a critical role in curing the internal coating of cans, ensuring product safety and long-term durability.

1) Cans Exit the IC Spray Machine
After receiving an internal coating from the IC Spray Machine, cans move through a gravity track conveyor toward the IBO.


2) Cans Join in Mass Flow
Once discharged, cans transition from single-file movement to mass flow, optimizing handling efficiency before entering the oven.


3) Internal Coating is Wet Upon Entry
As cans enter the IBO, their internal protective coating is still wet and requires heat to properly cure and adhere to the can’s interior surface.


4) Gas-Powered Burners Heat the Oven
The IBO uses gas-powered burners to generate the necessary heat, ensuring a consistent curing temperature throughout the oven chamber.


5) Cans Exit with a Fully Cured Internal Coating
By the time cans leave the IBO, the internal coating is fully cured, creating a protective barrier that prevents direct contact between the can’s aluminum surface and the beverage or product it will contain.
