fiogf49gjkf0d German aerosol can-maker Lanico presented SteeloCare tinplate monobloc-design aerosol cans, which have been developed in a technology alliance with the Andernach, Germany-based packaging steel producer ThyssenKrupp Rasselstein and Goppingen, Germany-based press manufacturer Schuler Pressen.
In cooperation with the two companies, Lanico managed to engineer a complete can-making solution that permits standardisation of semi-finished parts. It is a big step forward, compared to the classic three-piece aerosol can, for which every can-maker currently employs its own measurements. Standardisation generates significant cost advantages.
A technique developed by Lanico for the first time permits the inner seaming of the can. A visible bottom fold is not required. The SteeloCare can is very stable and reaches the 18-bar classification and burst pressures of more than 25 bars without difficulty. Furthermore, the tinplate can is 100 per cent recyclable and does not need any lubricants. Extensive cleaning is no longer required.
Describing the can’s benefits, Michael Kaufmann, technical director, Lanico, said, “While developing this can, we optimised all successive and interrelated processes together with ThyssenKrupp Rasselstein and Schuler. Machine employment and tool use have been minimised and corrosion stability is extremely high.”
“Thanks to the steel material developed by ThyssenKrupp Rasselstein, the can bodies by Schuler and the Lanico inner fold application, our customers receive an optimum system with guaranteed functionality and performance,” he added.
