HYBRID BOTTOM FORMER

INNOVATION
MEETS EFFICIENCY.

We understand today’s canmaking challenges. That’s why we deliver high-performance bodymaking equipment with advanced sensor control systems to help meet your goals. If you want to innovate your can line and drive efficiency, look no further than the Pride Synapse Hybrid Bottom Former.

AVOID CAN LINE SHUTDOWNS

Active process monitoring allows you to take decisive actions

MAKE MORE CANS

Sensors give operators real-time data for optimal can line production

MAKE BETTER CANS

Creating can recipes for operators across can lines improves efficiencies

OVERTRAVEL SENSOR

MONITOR THE DOMER PROCESS IN REAL TIME.

Ensure full engagement of the clamp ring against the dome die flange to achieve designed tooling geometry with every stroke. The ability to measure overtravel shortens set-up time dramatically.

DOME SETTING FORCE SENSOR

DIAL IN AND OPTIMIZE IN SECONDS.

Simply set spring setting force pre-load with a simple turn of a wrench, making it easier to dial in consistent dome depth for each can type while minimizing forces on the bodymaker drive train.

CLAMP RING FORCE SENSOR

CLAMP RING FORCE, OPTIMIZED FOR EACH CAN SIZE.

Turn clamp ring force sensor data into settings optimized for each can geometry-material combination allowing quick changeovers and consistent results.
