Ensuring pristine coating for can production
The SMS group-designed can coating line (CCL) annually processes over 60,000 metric tons of aluminum coils with a contactless curing system, ensuring high-quality coatings for the can manufacturing industry.
The can coating line (CCL) prepares cold rolled coils for aluminum can manufacturers and continuously processes in excess of 60,000 mtpa of coated aluminum coils covering 6,000 operating hours every year. All components in the line are designed by SMS group, including the entry coil cars, pay-off reels, stitching/coil joining, cleaning sections, accumulators, coaters, and tension reels. Of special interest is the flotation oven, which cures the coating while using jets of heated air to support the strip. This contactless curing provides the pristine coating surface required by the can manufacturing sector.
