Used Complete Tinplate Can Production Line for Oil (4–20 L)

Overview

This second-hand, industrial packaging line is a complete tinplate can production system engineered for 4–20 L oil containers. Configured for body making, end making, compound lining, curing, double seaming, and handle welding, it offers a proven route to scale up edible oil container manufacturing. The line features reputable OEMs such as Soudronic, BIBRA, YAGUCHI, Cevolani, W.R. GRACE, and RKHD, making it a robust choice for companies seeking a used bottling line complement or an integrated container-making solution for food and beverage packaging operations. Year of manufacture: 1976 (body making section built in 1981)

Technical Specifications & Performance Data

Container Range & Materials Format range: 4 L to 20 L tinplate steel cans for edible oil and related viscous products Body styles: compatible with large-format metal cans; bottom and lid closed via double seam Closure preparation: press station for punching pourer/spout opening compatible with Bericap type closures Process Flow & Included Equipment Sheet preparation: sheet shears (Cevolani, Italy) and angled sheet shears GW-3 (Germany) Body making: automatic Soudronic body welder for longitudinal seam welding Body sizing: BIBRA expander (Germany) for dimensional stabilization of can bodies End forming: machine for crimping/flanging shell ends End production: RKHD 40 presses (2 pcs) for can ends manufacturing Closure hole press: dedicated press for Bericap type pourer hole Compound lining: sealing compound application machine W.R. GRACE (Belgium) + semi automatic compound liner (Turkey, new) Curing: tunnel drying oven for compound curing and adhesion Seaming: YAGUCHI double seamer (Japan) for bottom and lid application Handle application: semi-automatic handle welder Typical Output Parameters Nominal throughput depends on can size, seamer tooling, welding speed, and oven residence time Detailed performance tests and format-specific estimates can be provided upon request Supported Products Edible oils (sunflower, olive, seed oils), food grade fats Also suitable for non-food industrial liquids subject to appropriate compliance and compound selection

Advanced Automation & Control Systems

Machine-level controls from OEMs (equipment runs with individual control panels; PLC-based control where supplied by manufacturer) Independent stations allow phased commissioning and step-by-step line balancing Provision for integrating line interlocks, jam detection, and status signals to a central HMI/SCADA if desired Process-critical stations (welder, double seamer, compound liner, oven) arranged for sequential quality assurance Production Line Integration Capabilities Upstream: compatible with sheet feeding, coating/printing lines, and end stock preparation Downstream: integrates with oil filling/capping, labelling, case packing, and palletizing for a complete used bottling line ecosystem Interfaces: dry contacts or fieldbus-ready expansion (to be engineered during installation) for start/stop, fault, and safety loops Suitable for industrial packaging operations across food and beverage container manufacturing

Machine Condition & Maintenance History

Year of manufacture: 1976 (body making section built in 1981) Condition: in storage, decommissioned and prepared for transport Documentation: Original user manuals are available upon request; OEM references and general operating procedures can typically be obtained from manufacturers or industry channels. Recommended pre-start service: inspection of weld wheels/electrodes, expander mechanics, seamer tooling and chucks/rolls, compound pump and applicators, oven conveyor/drive, and pneumatic circuits Spare parts/tooling: availability to be confirmed during technical audit

Operational Performance & Versatility

Format flexibility: 4–20 L formats supported via appropriate change parts and tooling adjustment Quality outcomes: continuous longitudinal seam welding, precise compound application and curing, and reliable double seams on bottom and lid Closure readiness: integrated punch station produces lids ready for Bericap-type pour spout fitments Application scope: edible oils as primary target; also applicable to lubricants, chemicals, and specialty liquids subject to regulatory complianceMore information can be found on the spec sheet.
