How do operators confirm inside coating is applied correctly?

Weight checks alone don't tell the whole story. Metal exposure, copper sulfate, and strand gauge testing help verify coating coverage, identify bare spots, and support consistent can quality.

This spotlight provides a quick look into our CanSCHOOL™ training curriculum for can makers.

Every curve of the aluminum can has a purpose.
Cylindrical walls spread pressure evenly. The domed base keeps it from buckling with less material. The necked top fits a smaller lid, saving aluminum without losing strength. And the lid itself is thicker, built to handle opening stress and resist puncture.
Strong, efficient, and endlessly recyclable. That’s can making by design!

Tool rooms run on data. ToolCONTROL™ helps can makers manage the complete history of bodymaker and necker tooling, including inventory, status, location, maintenance, and production data. With optional ToolSCAN 2.0™ and X2 PRO™ integration, tooling measurements and cross-hatch events are automatically linked to the correct tool profile, providing a clearer picture of tooling performance across the plant.

One of the things line performance depends on, is properly controlled mobility coating. Low levels can create transfer and feeding problems, while excessive coating wastes chemistry. Mobility testing delivers measurable friction data to help dial in the correct balance.

How do operators verify that the correct amount of IC spray is being applied?

IC weight is a key indicator of coating performance and can protection. Understanding how coating weight is measured, monitored, and adjusted helps support consistent quality.

This spotlight provides a quick look into our CanSCHOOL™ training on IC Spray Coating Weight, one of hundreds of lessons available through our can making curriculum.

Before, During, & After Decorating a Can
A lot goes into getting that perfect look:
🔹 Before decorating, cans are chemically etched to add texture so ink adheres better
🔹 During decorating, spin belts rotate the cans at the same speed as ink is applied to prevent smearing
🔹 After decorating, the neck is formed and artwork stays intact, all the way up the neck

Why do necking dies need to be cleaned?

As aluminum accumulates on tooling surfaces, it becomes harder to maintain the tight tolerances required for high-quality can necks. Left unchecked, buildup can accelerate tool wear and contribute to quality issues.

ToolCLEAN XL™ helps tool rooms eliminate manual cleaning variability by using a heated ultrasonic cleaning process that delivers consistent, repeatable results.

When inside spray coating issues occur, the root cause isn't always obvious.

Spray coating performance can be influenced by multiple factors, including gun qualification, calibration, can condition, contamination, and coating distribution. Identifying the true source of a defect is critical to maintaining consistent coating quality and avoiding unnecessary adjustments.

This video provides a brief preview of our full CanSCHOOL™ e-lesson on Gun Qualification & Calibration. The complete lesson dives deeper into coating evaluation, troubleshooting strategies, and best practices for maintaining spray coating performance.

Ever wondered how many aluminum beverage cans are made each day? The answer: between 500 million and 770 million, every single day. That adds up to 60–90 cans for every person on Earth each year!

With so many cans in circulation, recycling is essential. Aluminum can be recycled endlessly without losing quality, making it one of the most sustainable packaging choices available.
