CanNeck™ Lubrication Systems
Non-contact lubricant application systems provide increased productivity and
greater quality control for can-necking operations using wax or mineral oil.

Features and Benefits
Automatically adjusts amount of lubricant dispensed

with varying line speeds up to 3,000 cpm to minimize
pleating and black lines.
Two different system configurations offer the ability

to dispense either mineral oil or wax lubricants to
meet specific application requirements.
Simple adjustment of the amount of lubricant

dispensed to accommodate abrasion characteristics
of different inks.
L
ow-level detector alerts operator to add lubricant
without interrupting production.
The systems incorporate a Nordson E-201

dispensing module for clean, accurate deposition
while extending module coil life.

Controlling the amount and placement of lubricant applied
during the necking process is critical to successful two-piece can
manufacturing. Inconsistent application of lubricant material
during the can-necking process can lead to improper necking,
increased rejects, material waste and maintenance downtime.
Nordson CanNeck Lubrication Systems employ a non-contact
application method to apply a defined, controllable and repeatable
bead of lubricant to the open end of two-piece cans. Eliminating
contact between the can and the applicator assures accurate bead
placement, reducing the incidence of pleating and black line
problems associated with typical wick or roller systems.
The systems provide accurate, adjustable control with varying
line speeds of up to 3,000 cans per minute. In addition, CanNeck
lubrication systems maintain the size and placement of the
bead as line speeds change. Users can easily vary the amount

of lubricant to accommodate different requirements, including
abrasion characteristics of different inks.
Controlled application also promotes clean tooling by preventing
excess lubricant from building on equipment. The cleaner
environment extends periods of operation between line clean-ups
and minimizes line stoppages caused by excess lubrication.
Nordson offers two CanNeck lubrication systems, which are
designed for the application of either mineral oil or wax lubricants
to meet specific production requirements.
