ABSTRACT:
A system for forming cans from metallic blanks, trimming them, and cleaning and drying the cans synchronously. An ironing, trimming and washing stage are connected in direct juxtaposition with one another, with no buffering conveyors therebetween. A single source of motive power operates all three stages through a common drive train. In the event of a jam in the ironing or trimming stages the drive is decoupled from the washing stage, and an auxiliary drive is engaged in order to continue the flow of cans through the cleaning stage until it is emptied. At this point the auxiliary drive may be disabled.
In a preferred embodiment a number of unitized stations are provided, each producing a synchronous flow of cans which are then accumulated through branches of a conveyor, and transported to a common site for printing.
