LOCATION OF TRIMMER MACHINE
OVERVIEW OF TRIMMER
WHAT IS TRIMMER?
i. Stand-alone machine operating from a
single drive motor.
ii. Attached to the Bodymaker and has
connection track work carrying cans
between the Bodymaker discharge and
trimmer infeed.
WHAT DOES THE TRIMMER DO?
i. Receives cans produced by the Bodymaker
and trims the can to the proper can height for
the next process.
PURPOSE OF THE TRIMMER
i. Trim the can body to its proper height after
the Bodymaker.
TRIMMER PROCESS
TRIMMER INFEED
Cans feed from bodymaker discharge to
trimmer infeed for trimming.
i. Can infeed is start and stopped by the
trimmer can stop.
ii. Trimmer speed is controlled by infeed track
sensors.
iii. The trimmer infeed separates the cans for
loading onto the main turret shaft.
TRIMMER TRANSFER
Transfers can from infeed starwheel to the
main turret shaft.
i. This is timed to prevent any damage to the
can.
ii. Transfer brushes are used to keep the can
remaining in the turret pocket.
iii. Positions the cans for loading onto the
vacuum chuck of the turret.
MAIN TURRET & VACUUM CHUCK
Cans are positioned on the main turret to be
picked up by the vacuum chuck.
The vacuum chuck:
i. Receives the dome end of the can.
ii. Rotates the can for trimming.
iii. Positioned by the spindle assembly for
trimming.
TRIM STATION & TRIMMER
CARTRIDGE
The trimmer head uses rotating knives to trim
the can to height.
Belvac EMC Trimmer Cartridge
TRIMMER DISCHARGE
Trimmed cans are discharged from the trimmer via
track work and sent to washer.
Trimmed can are positioned by the vacuum chuck
for discharge,
Timed vacuum releases the can from the vacuum
chuck.
Trim scrap is ejected from the cartridge and is
picked up by the scrap system.
Sensors monitor can exit for any potential jams.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
OPERATING PRINCIPLE :
1. The cans supplied by the bodymaker are fed into the infeed track work.
2. Cans build back to trigger the can stop to release the cans into the infeed starwheel.
3. The infeed starwheel separates the cans for timed loading onto the main starwheel segments.
4. Main starwheel segments are aligned to rotating spindles and cutting heads.
5. Rotating spindles equipped with vacuum chucks secure the can to the rotating spindle.
6. The rotating spindle will advance to load the can at the correct height onto the cutting head.
7. The cutting head rotates in conjunction with the rotating spindle as the trimmer continues around in the cycle.
8. The cutting head knives close and cut the raw edge from the top of the container a it rotates around.
9. The rotating spindle will retract to its previous position to allow the can to unload.
10. The trim scrap will remain on the cutting head stripper pins until the rotating spindle has fully retracted.
11. The stripper plate is attached by rods to rotating spindle and is moved when the rotating spindle advances and
retracts.
12. The trim scrap taken away by the scrap vacuum duct to the room.
13. The vacuum chuck on the rotating spindle releases the vacuum and allows the can to enter the discharge track
work.
