The YC-300 handles can diameters from 50 mm to 180 mm - the widest range in the YC series. This covers slim beverage cans (52 mm) through standard food cans (99 mm) to large industrial and aerosol containers (180 mm), all on one configurable platform.

How much does a YC-300 production line cost?

The YC-300 full-automatic can and lid production system is priced at USD 450,000-600,000 depending on automation level, optional modules (laser welding, AI vision system, 8-color printing), and included accessories. Final price confirmed after specification review. Typical lead time is 30-90 days.

What quality assurance does the YC-300 include?

The YC-300 integrates 100% pneumatic leak testing and optional AI vision inspection for seam integrity, coating uniformity, and print quality. First-pass yield reaches 98.5% standard, rising to 99.2% with the optional vision system. Full FAT/SAT documentation and material certificates are included.

Can the YC-300 be integrated into an existing production facility?

Yes. YohoAI provides custom layout engineering for existing facilities. The YC-300 footprint is approximately 15,000 x 2,500 x 2,200 mm and supports SCADA integration for factory automation systems. Our engineers handle on-site installation, calibration, and operator training within the 3-6 week installation window.

What is the price of this machine?

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.

What is the delivery time?

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.

What certifications does this machine carry?

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.

Installation, Setup & Maintenance Guide

The YC-300 is the most complex line in the YC series, integrating tinplate decoiling, forming, necking, seam welding, internal coating, curing, and automated leak testing into a single continuous line with a footprint of approximately 15,000 x 2,500 x 2,200 mm. Site planning must include a reinforced concrete foundation rated for dynamic loads, dedicated power circuit (10-15 kW), compressed air header at 0.5-0.7 MPa, and an exhaust system for the curing oven. YohoAI provides custom layout engineering drawings and a site readiness checklist before shipment. Full SCADA integration with the host factory MES is supported and should be specified at order to ensure correct PLC communication protocol configuration during commissioning.

At up to 300 cans per minute, the YC-300 demands rigorous daily monitoring across all integrated process stages. The progressive necking and double seaming stations operate under high cycle counts, and any drift in hook compression force will directly cause leaks in finished cans. Daily startup must include a 15-minute thermal stabilization cycle for the curing oven to ensure the 180-200 degC coating cure profile is maintained from the first can. The VFD-controlled servo drives reduce energy consumption by up to 25% compared to conventional lines, but they require quarterly insulation resistance testing to prevent unplanned downtime.

Preventive maintenance for the YC-300 follows a structured schedule aligned with the SCADA system's OEE tracking data. Daily shift checks cover seam quality sampling, air pressure verification, and curing oven temperature log review. Weekly tasks include lubricating all servo motor bearings, checking necking die wear with go/no-go gauges, and verifying PLC network communication with each sub-station. Monthly maintenance focuses on welding head consumables, spray nozzle replacement, and vision system recalibration. Quarterly SCADA diagnostics confirm data logging integrity and enable predictive maintenance alerts before failures occur.

Maintenance Checklist

  • Run 15-minute curing oven thermal stabilization before production start; verify 180-200 degC profile on HMI
  • Sample and manually test first 30 cans for leaks at every shift start; adjust seaming chuck pressure if leak rate exceeds 1.5%
  • Monitor necking die wear with go/no-go gauge weekly; replace dies when bore diameter exceeds tolerance by 0.05 mm
  • Lubricate all servo motor bearings and VFD cooling fan filters every 168 operating hours
  • Clean and recalibrate AI vision cameras monthly to maintain 99.2% first-pass yield specification
  • Perform PLC network diagnostic and verify SCADA data logging integrity quarterly
  • Schedule annual YohoAI engineer visit for full line re-calibration and SCADA predictive maintenance report
