Spin forming process for all cans and materials –
an active remedy for cracked flanges
Active driven tool steel spins.
Low risk of flange cracks.
Wide range of applications, also for DR material.
With carbide spins suitable for white lacquered cans.
The machines and tools required for spin-flanging are much more complex than those used for die-flanging. In contrast to the classic die-flanging process, spin-flanging forms the flange selectively, only at the points where the flanging rollers come into contact with the body. The body rolls around the flanging rollers, which stretch it into a polygon shape. The flange is formed by the slow penetration of the counter-rotating tools. The body runs along the flanging radius of the flanging rollers and the shoulder of the flanging rollers to the stop ring. The initial polygon shape lasts until a specific flanging width has been reached. Thereafter, the body remains round.
Spin-flanging exerts the lowest stress on the material and the lowest axial load on the neck. This method of flanging is suitable for all neck geometries.
