Frequently Asked Questions

What is the production capacity of the YC-60?

The YC-60 produces 60-100 cans per minute depending on can diameter and material. It is ideal for regional manufacturers targeting 1-5 million cans per month with lower to mid-volume output requirements. Servo control maintains consistent seam quality across the full speed range.

What can diameters does the YC-60 support?

The YC-60 handles can diameters from 50 mm to 99 mm, covering standard snack can, soup can, and specialty packaging sizes. Can heights range from 50 mm to 300 mm. Custom tooling is available for non-standard sizes on request.

What is the price of a YC-60 metal can making machine?

The YC-60 entry-level can making line is quoted per project depending on configuration, optional upgrades (vision system, laser welding), and included modules. Final price is confirmed after detailed specification review. Typical lead time is 30-90 days from order confirmation.

What food safety certifications does the YC-60 meet?

The YC-60 is CE marked and built to ISO 9001:2015. Internal food-contact coatings comply with FDA 21 CFR 175.300 and EU Regulation (EU) 10/2011. BPA-NI (non-intent), halal, and kosher options are available for global export markets.

How long does installation and commissioning take?

On-site installation typically takes 3-6 weeks and commissioning plus operator training 1-3 weeks, depending on site readiness and line configuration. Full FAT/SAT documentation is supplied. Most customers reach stable production within 60 days of equipment arrival.

What is the price of this machine?

Every unit is built to order, so a firm price comes from your specification, not from a catalogue. Six points decide it: target output per hour, product type (powder, granules, pellets, oil, cream), package format and size, voltage and frequency, certification and documentation package, and delivery terms. Send those six points and you receive a written offer with price, lead time and scope of supply within 24 hours. No obligation, NDA on request. Use the six-point specification form.

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-60 ships fully pre-assembled with factory-calibrated stations for seam welding, coating, and HMI recipe configuration. On-site installation spans 3-6 weeks including foundation preparation, utility connections (electricity, compressed air at 0.5-0.7 MPa, and exhaust ventilation), and equipment leveling. Commissioning plus operator training takes a further 1-3 weeks. Full FAT/SAT documentation and IQ/OQ protocols are included so manufacturers can validate the line for food safety audits immediately after commissioning.

Daily startup checks should verify weld seam uniformity under a magnifier, confirm coating spray nozzle patency by inspecting cured film for pinholes, and validate air pressure stability on the HMI status screen. The first 50 cans of each shift should be set aside for manual leak testing as a benchmark reference. Weekly lubrication of all servo motor bearings and cam track surfaces using food-grade grease prevents premature wear on high-cycle components.

Monthly maintenance includes inspecting welding electrode wear and replacing worn tips before they degrade seam integrity. Quarterly professional service covers full PLC diagnostic scans, HMI recipe backup verification, and recalibration of the curing oven temperature profile to maintain 180-200 degC compliance. Most YC-60 users reach stable production within 60 days of equipment arrival on site.

Typical Application Scenarios

A snack food packaging company in South America operates the YC-60 to produce 2.4 million 73 mm diameter food cans per year for regional retail distribution. At 80 cans per minute over a 10-hour production day, the line achieves a monthly output of 1.2 million cans, with the remaining capacity used for product changeovers and preventive maintenance windows. The resistance seam welding station produces consistently tight overlap seams with a hook gap of 0.10-0.15 mm on 0.21 mm tinplate, meeting the internal pressure rating required for retort sterilization at 121 degC. The FDA 21 CFR 175.300-compliant internal coating provides a clean, neutral surface for roasted nuts and corn chips without flavor transfer or discoloration.

A pet food can manufacturer in Southeast Asia runs the YC-60 on a three-shift schedule to supply private-label canned pet food to regional supermarket chains. At 95 cans per minute, the line produces 1.9 million 99 mm diameter cans per month, meeting the tight pricing requirements of the private-label market through low energy consumption and 98.5% first-pass yield. The VFD-controlled servo drives reduce electricity costs by approximately 18% compared to the previous fixed-speed equipment, contributing to a total ROI payback period of approximately 28 months. The modular expandability option allows the manufacturer to add a second coating station in the future to handle premium grain-free formulations without replacing the base machine.

Maintenance Checklist

  • ✓Verify compressed air supply reads 0.5-0.7 MPa before every production shift
  • ✓Perform manual leak test on first 50 cans at shift start; log results in production records
  • ✓Inspect weld seams under 10x magnifier for pinholes, overlap, and crater cracks
  • ✓Lubricate servo motor bearings and cam tracks with food-grade grease every 168 operating hours
  • ✓Check coating spray nozzle patency and clean or replace clogged nozzles weekly
  • ✓Inspect and replace worn welding electrodes monthly to maintain seam quality
  • ✓Run PLC diagnostic scan and backup HMI recipes quarterly; verify curing oven temperature profile
