After entering the machine through the infeed, the preform containers are lubricated and fed into the odd pockets on each turret. The preforms enter a series of progressive necking operations, which include trimming stages until they reach the threader. The first pass necked preforms are then recirculated back through the second infeed. The BCMS has pocket-to-pocket integrity through each process turret. The bottles are lubricated a second time and proceed through the even pockets of each turret to complete the bottle forming process.   

The advanced patent forming technology can create a Roll on Pilfer Band (ROPB) groove on a single module versus the traditional neck and expansions processes. This eliminates the need for expansion cameras and blow-off resulting in less wear parts, loss of process air, and lower spoilage.  

Coupling the BCMS and Belvac’s Container Engineering Services, brands are able to differentiate products with exclusively designed market samples, manufactured on Belvac’s pilot line. Belvac supports from concept to production ensuring containers meet performance specifications. Services include the design and engineering of process tooling for the entire canmaking line, which includes Cupper, Bodymaker, and Necker tooling.
