Conveyors for Can Making

Since 1992, Codi has provided conveyance systems to can manufacturing plants in several countries. We design and build integrated systems that support speed, precision, and long-term reliability for manufacturers operating in demanding production environments. In fact, many systems we designed and installed 30 years ago are still in use! Our expertise lies in creating equipment that fits seamlessly into high-output can-making processes, from rinsing to filling and downstream handling.

 

Our conveyance systems for 2-piece can making efficiently transport, align, and space cans while maintaining hygiene standards throughout the line. These systems enable consistent production rates and minimize downtime.


We offer a full line of conveyance systems for can making, integrating movement between bodymakers, washers, decorators, neckers, and ovens. See below for a sample of our offerings. 

Cup System

  • Mass Air Conveyor (Cup Feed): Feeds cups into bodymakers with smooth, surge-tolerant flow.

  • Cupper Discharge + Vacuum S-Elevator: Lifts and orients cups cleanly to the next elevation.

General Conveyance

  • Mass Mechanical Conveyor (Cup Feed): Mass Mechanical Conveyor used between all stages of can making

Vacuum Conveyance

Wet & Bright Can System

  • Vacuum Inverter: Transfers cans from the washer, inverting them open-side up for delivery to the base coater or decorator.

  • Inverted-S Vacuum Elevator: Lifts cans from the IC spray oven to the mechanical conveyance leading to the necker.

  • Vacuum Transfer: Bridges transitions between mechanical and air conveyance systems.

Air Twist

Decorated Can System

  • Air-Powered Twist – Twists cans 90 degrees to a horizontal position to feed into the Necker properly. Used in the sprayed can segment.

Single Filers

  • Converging Rail Single Filer: Uses top and bottom air plenums to move cans from a mass flow into a single-file line for feeding the necker.

  • Waterfall Single Filer: Transfers cans from a mass pack through a curved chute, using powered air louvers to align them in single file for the decorators or base coaters.

Powered Nose Overs

Decorated Can System

  • Powered Nose Overs: Converging Rail Single Filers feeding Powered Nose-overs heading into the IC Spray machines.

Gravity Track

Cup, Decorated Can System

  • Powered Nose Overs: Converging Rail Single Filers feeding Powered Nose-overs heading into the IC Spray machines.

Magnetic Devices

  • Magnetic conveyance uses controlled magnetic force to move aluminum cans securely through inverted or vertical sections of the line, ensuring precise, stable handling at high speeds.

Miscellaneous Machinery

Cup, Decorated Can System

  • Combiners

  • Rinsers

  • Mist Collection

End-of-Line Conveyance: Sprayed Can System

Cup, Decorated Can System

  • Mass Air Conveyor

  • High-speed Converging Rail Single Filer

  • Air-Powered Tunnel Track
