Mass can-handling needs vary throughout the plant. Cups and can bodies require a belt that provides good drainage. Bright cans require low-friction transfers. Cut-edge-down cans require exceptionally smooth surfaces to minimize tippage. And decorated cans, highly susceptible to label mix-ups, require effective self-clearing conveying systems. Intralox has designed a comprehensive range of conveyor belts and accessories to meet the specific needs of each can-manufacturing conveying application.

Committed to quality and superior belt performance, Intralox offers proven solutions that deliver significant benefits to can manufacturers. Our global team of container specialists can make specific recommendations in-line with your manufacturing goals, including:

Reduced container tippage

Intralox pioneered the no-tip belt surface that reduces container tippage and the resulting downtime and extra labor. Our solutions excel in front-end and decorated can handling, even with the lightest containers, cut-edge-down cans, and smallest footprints.

Elimination of stranded containers

Intralox developed a concept to eliminate stranded containers on dead plates at 90-degree transfers. Live Transfer belts allow smooth right angle transfers without using dead plates, eliminating the problem of stranded containers. 

Improved worker safety

Intralox belting for container applications is available in flame retardant material that will not sustain a flame and electrically conductive material that helps dissipate static charges. Meet with your plant’s risk management professional to assess the impact that these materials may have on worker safety and insurance premiums.
