When you make cans and lids, you generate a lot of scrap. If your production requires 3,600 cpm – 5,000 epm, you’re drowning in scrap unless you do something about it. We’ve put together a complete scrap handling system that uses a familiar vacuum/conveyor system to pick up scrap at the point of generation (cup punch, trimmer, embellisher) and transport it to the scrap room. There the separated scrap (blank and printed) is weighed and a pre-determined amount is fed into the baler. The double-acting hydraulic cylinders produce a high density of coherent bales, allowing handling by manually operated cranes or fully automated robots. This is the end of the messy and dangerous scrap room.
