Vacuum Transfer for 2-Piece Aluminum Can Manufacturing
A vacuum transfer system is a specialized conveyor mechanism designed to separate upright cans from tipped cans within a production line. A common location for a vacuum conveyor is between the Can Washer and the Dry-Off Oven.
The vacuum conveyor process is as follows:
The vacuum conveyor process is as follows:
1. A mass of cans approaches on a mechanical conveyor, a vacuum conveyor is positioned at the end.
2. the vacuum conveyor utilizes suction to lift and transport upright cans, while tipped cans fall into a designated trough. These rejected cans are typically diverted to a spoilage bin.
3. The upright cans, successfully transferred by the vacuum system, are then conveyed to the next stage of the production process, resulting in a can pack containing only undamaged and properly oriented cans. This ensures that the subsequent stages of the packaging process, such as labeling and sealing, can be performed without interruption or product defects.
