ABSTRACT:
The can trimmer includes first and second supports adjustably mounted on bars for adjustably spacing the supports from one another dependent upon the height of the cans to be trimmed. The supports mount a motor-driven splined shaft for rotating first and second carrier wheels and star wheels between the carrier wheels. Cam-actuated pushers are mounted on the pusher carrier wheel and mandrels are carried on the other carrier wheel in axial opposition to the pushers. Cam-actuated trim heads are pivotally carried by the second carrier wheel for movement toward and away from the mandrels, respectively. Upon disposition of cans on the star wheels between the pushers and mandrels, the pushers carry the cans onto the mandrels for cutting by the trim heads. Air pressure pushes the cans off the mandrels in following engagement with the pushers for discharge.
