Product Introduction

 

Efficient material handling is the backbone of any high-volume canning operation. Our range of Empty Can Conveyor systems is engineered to provide exactly that-a dependable, customizable solution for moving empty cans between process stages. Whether you need to transport cans from the palletizer to the filling line, between accumulation tables, or through atmospheric changers, we have a conveyor configuration to match. Our systems include modular plastic belt conveyors for gentle handling, slat chain conveyors for heavy-duty applications, and wire mesh belt conveyors for processes requiring drainage or airflow. Engineered for durability and minimal maintenance, each empty can handling system we supply is designed to maximize uptime and protect product integrity, ensuring your cans arrive at their destination in perfect condition, every time.

 

Product Feature and Application

 

Key Features:

  • Gentle Product Handling: Our Empty Can Conveyor systems are designed to minimize can-to-can contact and prevent dents, scratches, or scuffs during transport.
  • Modular & Customizable: Available in various configurations-modular plastic belt, slat chain, wire mesh-to suit specific line layouts and product requirements.
  • Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials including stainless steel and robust mild steel options, ensuring long service life in demanding industrial environments.
  • Hygienic Design: Options available with open frames and smooth surfaces for easy cleaning, essential for food and beverage applications.
  • Integrated Control Systems: Can be seamlessly integrated with existing line controls, including VFDs for precise speed matching and accumulation control.

 

Applications:

  • Transporting empty cans from depalletizers to filling machines.
  • Connecting can manufacturing equipment (welder, flanger, seamer) to filling lines.
  • Accumulation and buffering between high-speed process stages.
  • Elevating or lowering cans to different line heights.
  • Moving cans through inspection stations or atmospheric changers..

 

3 Applications of Empty Can Conveyor

 

Product Details

 

The effectiveness of our can movement conveyor line systems lies in the details. We offer a range of belt and chain types tailored to specific needs. Modular plastic belt conveyors are ideal for gentle, stable transport, with options for friction tops or positive drive sprockets. Slat chain conveyors provide robust handling for heavier cans or more demanding applications, using durable acetal or stainless steel chains. Wire mesh belt conveyors are perfect for processes requiring airflow, drainage, or curing. All our conveyors feature precision-engineered drives with geared motors and VFDs for smooth, controllable speed regulation. Side rails and guides are adjustable to accommodate different can sizes, and accumulation areas can be designed with low back-pressure to prevent can damage. We also provide comprehensive technical documentation with every system, ensuring easy maintenance and full operational understanding.

FAQ

 

Q: What type of conveyor is best for my empty cans?

A: The best choice depends on your specific application. Modular plastic belt conveyors are excellent for general transport and accumulation due to their gentle handling. Slat chain conveyors are ideal for heavier-duty applications or where positive can positioning is needed. We recommend discussing your line layout, can size, and speed requirements with our engineering team to determine the optimal solution.

Q: Can you design a conveyor system for an existing production line?

A: Absolutely. We specialize in creating bespoke conveyor solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing equipment. Our engineers will assess your current layout and requirements to design a system that fits perfectly and improves your material flow.

Q: What materials are available for food contact surfaces?

A: For food and beverage applications, we typically recommend stainless steel frames and food-grade plastic chains or belts (such as acetal or polypropylene). These materials are durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean and sanitize.

Q: Do you provide installation and commissioning support?

A: Yes, we offer comprehensive installation and commissioning services. Our experienced technicians can supervise the installation process, ensure proper alignment and tensioning, and provide training to your maintenance staff, ensuring your new conveyor system operates correctly from day one.
