5500 Canmaker
The 5500 Canmaker is the industry standard based on the proven CMB Engineering 5000 Bodymaker integrated with the CMB Engineering 550 Trimmer in one convenient and reliable package. The 5000 Bodymaker is an advanced, horizontal, double-action press for production of steel or aluminium cans at high speeds and efficiencies. With a record number of sales worldwide since its launch, the 5000 Bodymaker has become the industry standard. The 5500 Canmaker builds on this success, enabling even higher speeds with consistency and reliability provided by an integrated system. Can control from the bodymaker discharge to the trimmer infeed is precisely controlled by a vacuum conveyor. Both machines and interconnecting conveyor are housed in the same guard package for safety and fluid retention. The CMB Engineering 550 Trimmer is a fourhead rotary machine capable of handling all standard DWI can sizes. Cans are fed from the bodymaker’s interconnecting conveyor into a vacuum infeed turret, and loaded onto quick-change cartridge style tooling. A single ejector ring conforms to the untrimmed edge, and the can is held stationary whilst the internal penetrating disc moves eccentrically against the outer knife, accurately trimming the can in one revolution.
