View ProductsOperating up to 300 spm, Belvac Cupping System’s state-of-the-art proven design features high process reliability, high output, and unsurpassed quality. Low maintenance features like a high precision guidance system, dynamic counter balancing with no vibration, and a decoupled main drive installation help decrease machine downtime.
Quality, reliability, and accuracy are the foundations for the Belvac Bodymaker. Unlike other Bodymakers, the BM24 and BM30 feature a compact design with low vibration resulting in no foundation requirements. The hypocycloid main drive generates an exact straight-line of motion balancing the machine both statically and dynamically resulting in low ram deviation that increase can quality through low tear-off rates and accurate body wall thickness.
The Belvac Trimmer, designed for longevity and reliability, with burr-free, sliver-free, step-free trimming, an industry staple for over 40 years. Designed to precisely trim the raw edge that occurs from the drawing and ironing process within the Bodymaker. All Belvac Trimmers are equipped with many improved features to decrease downtime and maximize efficiencies.
Engineered for energy efficiency, wastewater reduction and process optimization, this state-of-the-art machine features a robust stainless-steel base frame and structure while processing up to 6,000 CPM. The Can Washer is equipped with variable speed controls, allowing operators to fine-tune process efficiency while also reducing energy costs. The Automated Height Adjustment for the hold-downs, the oil coalescer, and a sophisticated counter and backflow system enhances operational flexibility.
Cutting-edge technology that emphasizes efficiency and sustainability, resulting in reduced operational costs and enhanced production performance. The Oven’s design includes an optimized overall footprint with high-efficiency 6-inch insulated walls and 2-inch safety cool walls. With numerous innovative design elements, the Oven retains heat, reduces energy and gas consumption, and optimizes overall machine efficiency.
Based on proven technology that has been value engineered to meet the current demands of the advanced can making industry, the Belvac Decorator and Basecoater continuously operate up to 2200 cpm. Producing optimal print results at all speeds, runout in minimized with precision components allowing the advance inker design to reduce print fading. A user-friendly operator setup reduces downtime with key enhancements like auto lubrication, and easy throughout the machine for quick changeovers.
The BV86 Bottom Rim Coater applies a wear-resistant coating, that facilitates superior protection to the can’s bottom rim surface, which is integral for smooth can handling and processing. Allowing for better can transfer to conveyance systems and machine infeed’s, the coating also helps prevent tipping during filling process and protects can integrity during the packing process when external leaks occur.
Designed to maximize ease and efficient operation, the Pin Oven has a single heat zone configuration that features temperature uniformity allowing the can to be cured in either 10, 12, or 14 passes. The cans are transported through the oven via a pin chain that maximizes can stability while curing the freshly applied labels from the Decorator. Constructed with a durable steel frame and a compact footprint, the oven also includes a top platform to maintain the return chain pass, providing high accessibility for safe and efficient maintenance.
Designed for Uniform Air Flow and Temperature Distribution, the ARC Internal Bake Oven Cures both the Interior and Exterior of the Can. The oven’s high-efficiency 6-inch insulated walls, 2-inch safety cool walls, and on-demand exhaust airflow system ensure optimal heat retention and minimized gas consumption. The IBO was designed with sustainability in mind, reducing overall operational Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Belvac’s Necking technology has enhanced line speeds globally for over 40 years. Based on proven technology and value engineered for efficient and sustainable operations, Belvac’s Neckers are trusted by can makers around the world to ensure production conditions are always met.
The Bottle Container Manufacturing System (BCMS) produces lightweight metal bottles with either ROPP, Crown, or Aerosol closures, and standard or transfer neck configurations. Rated up to 600 cpm, with a standard configuration, running through a recirculation system, the overall machine footprint is significantly reduced. The BCMS is the optimal solution for high speed, high volume, and lower cost of production reaching speeds up to 1200 cpm.
The Belvac Shaper creates deep necks and expansions resulting in unique container shapes at speeds up to 1200 CPM. The Shaper effortlessly adds distinction to both cans and bottles by shaping the sidewall of the container up to 200mm from the cut edge and 16mm above the chime of the can. An advanced servo motor system removes the traditional gears and oil bath setup, allowing each turret and transfer to rotate independently so operators can quickly solve can jams and tooling changeovers.
