How cans are made
Cans for food, drinks and non-food products may be constructed out of either two or three pieces of metal.
The first cans ever produced were three-piece and they were developed in the middle of the 19th century. They consist of a cylindrical body rolled from a piece of flat metal with a longitudinal seam, usually formed by welding, with a top and bottom, each seamed on the ends of the body.
Three-piece cans may be manufactured in almost any practical combination of height, diameter and shape. This process is particularly suitable for making cans of different sizes as it is relatively simple to change the parameters of the can under production.
The Cazander Brothers mainly have machinery for three-piece cans in stock.
What is a scroll shear?
This stamping shear is capable of producing scrolled strips for end production, processing straight trimmed or primary scrolled sheets. The pre-scrolled sheets are cut into small scroll sheets that are fed into the end making press.
Cazander Brothers regularly offers quality used Karges Hammer and Blema scroll shears from their extensive stock.
