Pin Chain Conveying Overview
This video explains the Deco Transfer and Pin Chain Conveying, critical steps in the can manufacturing process that ensure decorated cans are properly handled and cured.
Step-by-Step Process
Deco Transfer Moves Cans to the Pin Chain
- After cans are decorated, they are still wet and must be carefully transferred to prevent smudging or defects.
- The Deco Transfer moves these wet cans onto the Pin Chain, a specialized conveyor designed for curing.
Pin Chain Conveying Transports Cans to the Pin Oven
- The Pin Chain holds cans securely in place and moves them through the Pin Oven, where heat is applied to cure the wet ink and overvarnish.
Pin Stripper Removes Cured Cans from the Pin Chain
- Once the cans exit the Pin Oven, the Pin Stripper removes them from the Pin Chain, allowing them to continue to the next stage of production.
