The Design of Curler for Irregular Metal Lid Based on Pro/E

Abstract:

Canned foods with no preservatives are the safe alternatives to fresh and frozen foods which help to meet dietary needs. With the prevalence of canned foods, the sales grow rapidly which provides a bright prospect for metal packaging machinery. The appearance of the metal can is one of the important factors that will affect the sale. Therefore, canning companies pay special attention to the personalized metal packaging and attach great importance to the development and application of special-shaped cans, thus, square or oval cans are widely used. In view of the ubiquitous problems existing in present curler for irregular food metal lid, such as high costs, high rejection rate and low efficiency, etc., we have designed a new type of curler for irregular lids, the model of curler is designed based on Pro/E software. The curler can blank and feed automatically. Applications show that in contrast with the existing curler, the new curler has the characteristics of more compact structure, more stable performance, lower costs and higher efficiency etc.
