Description of Problem
The largest brewery in Holland had a high-speed can line installed in 1993. In the inspection and coding areas, there was increased line pressure, resulting in damaged cans.
System Plast™ Solution
Nolu-S side guides were fitted onto the line. The low coefficient of friction from this lubricated material significantly reduced line pressure, eliminating the can damage. SpeedSet™ brackets were also installed, which allowed quick and accurate settings of the side guides.
