Used Complete Tinplate Can Production Line for Oil (4â20 L)
– Overview This second-hand, industrial packaging line is a
complete tinplate can production system engineered for 4â20 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: 4â20 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 compliance Installation
Requirements & Site Preparation Power: three-phase industrial
electrical supply sized to the full connected load of welder, presses,
oven, and auxiliaries Compressed air: stable, dry air for pneumatic
actuators and control valves Thermal utilities: curing oven requires
appropriate energy source and exhaust/ventilation provisions
Ventilation & emissions: extraction for compound lining and oven zones
in accordance with local codes Flooring & layout: level industrial
floor with adequate footprint for sheet handling, body transport, and
service access Integration: space allocation for conveyors, guarding,
QC stations (seam teardown, leak testing) as requ
