ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for curing coatings applied to can seams during manufacturing the cans on a can assembly line. The method includes placing the cans on a conveyor then exposing the coatings on the cans to infrared radiation from a plurality of serially arranged lamp modules as the cans are moved on the conveyor. The apparatus for carrying out the method includes a conveyor, a variable speed motor for driving the conveyor and a plurality of independently controlled, variable intensity, infrared lamp modules positioned serially along the length of the conveyor. By adjusting the speed of the conveyor and the intensity of each lamp module, the temperature profile at which the coatings are cured can be adjusted in accordance with the characteristics of the particular coating. Adjustment of the height of the module above the can will also affect the curing temperature profile.
