Aluminum Can Production System for Beverage, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Applications

Our fully automated aluminum can production line delivers precision manufacturing of rigid containers for beverage, chemical, and medical applications. With a production capacity of 90-120 cans/minute, this complete system handles everything from cold extrusion to final necking. The line features advanced automation with Siemens PLC control and energy-efficient gas heating systems, ensuring reliable operation while minimizing energy costs. Compatible with φ60-90mm diameters, it produces lightweight yet durable cans offering superior corrosion resistance and 100% recyclability. Ideal for aerosol containers, pharmaceutical bottles, and beverage cans, the system combines high output with consistent quality through integrated processes including washing, interior coating, 8-color printing, and precision necking. The compact 68m line layout optimizes floor space while maintaining easy operator access via color touchscreen controls.
