Lubrication Free Components for less maintenance and longer uptimes. Wear Resistant Intech Industrial Polymer Cam Followers and Gears Outlast their metal counter parts while protecting mating components.
Can making equipment is nothing if not specialized. We’ve engineered specialized components specifically for your necking, trimming and light testing operations. In the early 2000s we invented the Industrial Polymer Cam Follower. In critical applications like those across the 2-piece aluminum can line, a small component change can lead to big impacts in cost reduction, quality improvements, consistency, and cleanliness.
Downtime is expensive, especially at 2000-4000 cans per minute. When we say our components out last competitors by on average 2X- 4X we mean you aren’t stopping production to disassemble machines and replace worn or failing components. Beyond Maximizing uptime we also help you produce both more consistently formed cans and fewer quarantined or rejected lots from grease or metal particulate contamination.
In can making, line speed equals profit, and traditional round ram designs tend to limit the speed of the necking operation. Operating heavy, steel rams at high speeds can also trigger high centrifugal forces that can accelerate wear.
