Vacuum Transfer Overview
This video explains the Vacuum Transfer, a device used in can manufacturing to remove tipped cans from the production line, ensuring only upright cans continue through the process.
Why is a Vacuum Transfer Needed?
- Line Stoppages Can Cause Unstable Can Packs
- After a line stoppage, when production restarts, the first group of cans entering the Washer may lack proper support.
- Water Blast Causes Tipped Cans
- In the Washer, high-pressure water sprays the cans. If cans are not tightly packed, they may tip over, disrupting the flow and potentially causing jams.
How the Vacuum Transfer Works
- Detecting and Removing Tipped Cans
- The Vacuum Transfer identifies and removes tipped cans before they enter the Washer.
- Allowing Only Upright Cans to Continue
- The system ensures that only properly oriented cans remain on the line, preventing operational issues and maintaining production efficiency.
