Did you know? If the inside of an aluminum can is exposed, it can cause corrosion (among other factors), affecting both the taste and safety of the drink. That’s why protective coatings are essential to keep beverages fresh and cans strong. IC Spray machines ensure a full, even coating by controlling spray duration, spin speeds, and spray gun positioning—each can receives optimal coverage to protect the product inside. Coating processes like this keep your favorite drinks safe! #CanMaking #AluminumCans #MetalExposure #ProtectiveCoating #CansAreCool

The Washer plays a crucial role in the can line by utilizing high-pressure nozzles to cleanse cans of any residue or debris. However, improper support of the can packs at their sides can lead to tipping and subsequent spoilage. Traditional OEM side guides often suffer damage and prove challenging to adjust to the optimal pack width. Addressing this issue, the IPS TightPACK system has been developed. This innovative cable side-guide system offers easy adjustment and external accessibility, ensuring efficient maintenance of can lines and reducing spoilage caused by tipped cans. #canwashing #cansupport #washernozzles #canspoilageprevention

In can making, the washer plays a vital role in achieving top-quality results. It removes contaminants and lubricants left behind by the bodymaker, prepping each can for exterior decoration and internal coating. This process is critical in making sure every can emerges with a flawless surface, ready for the next stages and built to meet quality benchmarks. It’s the foundation for consistent results in every batch, making the washer a key player in the entire production journey. #CanMaking #ProductionExcellence #TheWasher #Consistency

Happy Thanksgiving to all our followers in the U.S. ! Just like we are with every holiday season, we’re especially thankful for the hardworking can makers who keep the world running one can at a time. Your dedication inspires us every day! Wishing you and your families a warm and joyful Thanksgiving. #ThankYouCanMakers #HappyThanksgiving #ProudCanMakers

Did you know a can is able to hold up to 90 psi of pressure? That’s more than double the pressure in a car tire! It’s an incredible feat, especially considering the can’s walls can be as thin as 0.0035 inches (0.089 mm). The secret lies in its engineering. The cylindrical shape evenly distributes internal pressure, while the domed base prevents buckling under stress. This innovative design, combined with the strength of aluminum, ensures the can will withstand temperature changes that increase pressure—keeping your favorite beverage fresh and fizzy. Next time you open a can, remember: there’s more than meets the eye in this lightweight powerhouse. Cheers! #CanMaking #EngineeringMarvel #SustainablePackaging #CansAreCool

Bodymakers are not perfect, and sometimes they produce cans with top wall variation that causes issues when entering the Necker. In such cases, cans jam and aluminum builds up on the surface of Necker dies. When this happens, Necker dies produce even more quality issues. To avoid this, it's essential to remove aluminum buildup from Necker dies with an ultrasonic cleaner like the IPS ToolCLEAN XL. This will help ensure that the dies perform at their peak, without any additional quality issues. #canmanufacturing #qualitycontrol #Necker #aluminumbuildup #ultrasoniccleaning #ToolCLEANXL

Without accurate measurements, you risk misaligned match gapping, leading to defects like pleats and unnecessary spoilage. Match gapping—pairing knockouts and dies to maintain specifications—is crucial for uniform tooling in every necking station. Taking the time to measure your tools ensures high-quality cans and prevents production issues. #ToolTalk #ToolMeasuring #CanMaking #QualityMatters #IPS

Curious about the latest innovations in can making? Last year, a new technology hit the market, hailed by some as “the best thing to happen to the Front End.” In just two years, 13 can makers have adopted this technology, with valves installed across 50+ plants around the world—saving over 10.6 million kilowatt-hours and counting! This air valve is a game-changer in helping can makers reach their sustainability goals. Could it be the last valve you ever need? #Sustainability #CanMaking #Innovation #AirSAVE

Did you know a decorator can print up to 2,000 cans per minute? That’s some serious speed! But how do these high-speed motions avoid smudges or smears? The secret lies in synchronized movement—cans rotate at the same speed as the print blankets, ensuring the ink transfers smoothly for a flawless finish. #TheDecorator #HighSpeedPrinting #InkTransfer #CanMakers #CansAreCool
