Product Overview

Precision Engineering for the Modern Packaging Industry

YohoAI's metal can and lid production lines represent the latest advancement in metal packaging manufacturing. Our systems produce high-quality two-piece (drawn and ironed) and three-piece (seamed) cans used across the food, beverage, aerosol, and chemical industries.

Every machine in our production line is engineered for high throughput, minimal waste, and easy operation – Helping manufacturers scale output without sacrificing quality.

From tinplate coil decoiling to final packaging, our equipment handles the complete manufacturing process with precision servo drives, PLC control, and real-time quality monitoring.

How Our Can Making Line Works

10 Steps from Metal Coil to Finished Can

1

Sheet Decoiling & Leveling

Tinplate or aluminum coil is decoiled and passed through a precision leveler to remove camber and ensure flat, uniform sheet entry into the production line.

2

Edge Trimming & lubrication

Side trimmers cut the sheet to exact width, while an automated lubrication system applies food-grade lubricant to reduce friction during forming.

3

Body Rolling & Seaming

Sheet is fed into high-speed rolling mills that form the cylindrical body. Precision welders (resistance or laser) then seal the longitudinal seam to create a seamless tube.

4

Flanging & Beading

Top and bottom flanges are formed at high speed. Beading rollers add structural reinforcement ridges to the can body for improved stacking strength and pressure resistance.

5

Internal Coating & Curing

Food-safe epoxy or water-based coating is spray-applied inside the can. The can passes through a convection curing oven at 180≈20°C to bake the coating to a uniform, safe finish.

6

External Decoration & Printing

UV-curable inks and coatings are applied via high-speed offset or dry-offset printers. Multi-color printing with over-varnish provides a brilliant, scuff-resistant finish.

7

Lid Production & Scoring

Separate lid lines produce easy-open ends with scored score lines, rivets, and pull tabs. Twin-knurl and anti-fraud tab designs are fully supported.

8

Double Seam & Necking

The can body is necked-in to accept the lid. A double seamer then folds the lid and body flanges together to create an hermetically sealed, leak-proof joint.

9

Leak Testing & Quality Inspection

Every can passes through an automated pneumatic or vacuum leak tester. Vision systems check seam integrity, print quality, and coating uniformity in real time.

10

Packing & Palletizing

Finished cans are counted, sleeved or collated, and automatically packed into cartons. Robotic palletizers stack filled cartons onto pallets for dispatch.

Core Advantages

Why Leading Manufacturers Choose YohoAI Can Lines

High-Speed Production

Up to 120 cans/min throughput with servo-driven forming and seaming stations, outperforming industry averages by 30%.

Precision Servo Control

Every forming, flanging, and seaming operation uses closed-loop servo drives for micron-level accuracy and repeatability.

FDA-Grade Food Safety

All internal coatings are FDA-compliant, BPA-NI (non-intent), and meet EU food contact material regulation (EC 1935/2004).

Quick Product Changeover

Tool-free diameter and height adjustments with pre-set recipes stored in the HMI. Changeover time under 30 minutes.

Real-Time Quality Monitoring

In-line vision cameras and pneumatic leak testers reject non-conforming cans automatically, ensuring ±8.5% first-pass yield.

Energy Efficient Design

Regenerative braking on servo motors and variable-frequency drives reduce energy consumption by up to 25% vs. conventional systems.

Modular & Expandable

Add coating stations, printing modules, or extra seaming heads without replacing the entire line. Scales with your business.

Lifetime Technical Support

Remote diagnostics via VPN, 24/7 parts availability, and annual preventive maintenance visits keep your line running at peak output.
