High-speed metal lid and easy-open end (EOE) production line - up to 200 lids/min with FDA-compliant coatings, scored score lines, and precision pull-tab riveting.
The YohoAI Metal Lid (End) Making Machine produces precision metal can ends at up to 200 lids per minute, covering easy-open ends (EOE), standard peel-off lids, and twin-knurl anti-fraud tab designs. Designed to integrate seamlessly with YC-series can body lines, it handles tinplate, TFS, and aluminum lid stock with FDA 21 CFR 175.300 and EU 10/2011 compliant coatings. Every end is scored, riveted, tabbed, and inspected in a single continuous pass.
Verified factory data - not marketing estimates
CNC-controlled scoring stations produce clean, consistent score lines with precise tab rivet placement. Pull-tab adhesion strength is factory-calibrated to meet global food safety and consumer safety standards.
Quick-change tool sets switch between easy-open ends (EOE), standard lids, and peel-off formats. The same machine handles 50-180 mm diameters without major retooling.
Integrated spray coating and curing system applies FDA 21 CFR 175.300 and EU 10/2011 compliant internal coating to every lid. BPA-NI, halal, and kosher options available.
In-line cameras verify score line depth, rivet integrity, tab alignment, and coating coverage at 200 lids/min. Non-conforming ends are automatically rejected and counted for SPC reporting.
Designed to sync with YC-60, YC-150, and YC-300 can body lines via shared PLC network. Production rate matching ensures no bottleneck between body making and lid closing.
CE marked, ISO 9001:2015 certified. Full material certificates, weld records, and IQ/OQ documentation supplied for regulatory audits in any target export market.

The machine produces easy-open ends (EOE) with scored score lines and pull tabs, standard flat lids, and peel-off lids for food and pharmaceutical packaging. Twin-knurl and anti-fraud tab designs are also supported. It handles tinplate, TFS, and aluminum lid stock from 50-180 mm diameter.
The lid stamping press produces up to 200 lids per minute depending on lid diameter and format complexity. The machine synchronizes with YC-60 (60-100 lids/min), YC-150 (150-250 lids/min), and YC-300 (up to 300 lids/min) can body lines via shared PLC control to prevent line bottlenecks.
All lids feature FDA 21 CFR 175.300 and EU 10/2011 compliant internal coating, with BPA-NI (non-intent), halal, and kosher options available for global export. Material certificates and coating test reports are included with every shipment for regulatory compliance audits.
The lid making machine can be purchased as a standalone unit for existing can lines, or bundled with YC-60, YC-150, or YC-300 can body production lines at a package price advantage. Bundled pricing typically offers 10-20% savings versus separate purchase. Inquire for a custom quote.
Standalone lid machine installation typically takes 1-3 weeks on-site. Bundled with a YC can line, installation and commissioning runs 3-6 weeks including operator training. A 12-month warranty, remote VPN diagnostics, and 48-hour spare parts shipping are included as standard.
Pricing varies by configuration and accessories. Please send us your specific requirements including production capacity needs, tube/can/capsule format, and required certifications. We typically respond within 2 hours with CIF/CFR/FOB pricing.
Standard delivery ranges from 30-90 working days depending on the model and configuration. Pharmaceutical GMP configurations with validation documentation packages require additional 5-10 working days. Expedited manufacturing is available for urgent orders at a 15-25% premium.
All YohoAI machines carry CE certification and are designed to meet cGMP and ISO9001 standards. Additional certifications including FDA compliance and specific food-grade standards are available depending on the product line and configuration.
The Metal Lid Making Machine is available as a standalone unit for integration with existing can body lines, or as a bundled package with YC-60, YC-150, or YC-300 can body production lines where it offers a 10-20% package discount. When purchased standalone, installation typically takes 1-3 weeks on site. When bundled with a YC line, installation and commissioning runs 3-6 weeks concurrently with the can body line. The lid machine synchronizes with can body production via a shared PLC network to prevent line bottlenecks, and the HMI provides production rate matching controls for fine-tuning lid output to can body speed.
The core of the lid machine is the CNC-controlled scoring station, which produces precision score lines for easy-open end (EOE) tabs. Score depth and geometry must be maintained within tight tolerances to ensure clean, safe tab pull by consumers. Pull-tab adhesion strength is factory-calibrated and should be verified with a tab pull force tester monthly. The 100% vision inspection system checks score line depth, rivet integrity, tab alignment, and coating coverage at up to 200 lids per minute, and its camera lighting must be recalibrated whenever the lid format is changed.
Preventive maintenance for the lid machine focuses on the scoring dies, stamping press components, and coating application system. Daily checks should verify lid format consistency by measuring scored tab dimensions with a caliper. Weekly tasks include lubricating the stamping press slide guides and checking the pull-tab rivet feed mechanism for jams or misfeeds. Monthly maintenance covers scoring die inspection and replacement, spray nozzle cleaning for the food-grade coating station, and vision system recalibration. Bundled purchasers receive priority after-sales support with 48-hour spare parts shipping and annual on-site service visits.
