- The expansion process for conformation of two parts metal packs, and expansion process equipment for conformation of two parts metal packs, proposed herein, may be used in the production of two-piece cans for several purposes, such as, food, beverages and others, and may employ various materials such as steel and aluminum.
- The expansion process for conformation of two parts metal packs, and expansion process equipment for conformation of two parts metal packs, proposed herein, enables the expansion of the can body in two parts, allowing the conformation of can in various forms and enabling the use of the various expansion processes employing mandrel, nuts, rulers, calipers, compressed air, water, oil, among others, mostly placed on the can body, which expands until it obtains the format desired, always with increasing initial diameter of the can body, in order to increase the volumetric capacity of the can and generating material savings.
- Already known to the state of the art are some types of processes for obtaining expanded bodies of tins, with or without narrowing their ends, for example, process of the type “expansion by mandrel” “spin flow shaping”, “hydro forming or Pascal”, “blow forming”, “rheoforming” and others, however, no expansion process was employed to date in the expansion of two-piece cans, comprising body and cover, for high speeds.
- In order to overcome all the difficulties associated with techniques, was idealized the present, expansion process for conformation of two parts metal packs, and expansion process equipment for conformation of two parts metal packs which refers to an extremely simple, efficient and economical process.

- Among the advantages offered by this expansion process for conformation of two parts metal packs, and expansion process equipment for conformation of two parts metal packs, we highlight the material savings because it allows smaller diameter from the body of the can and expand shaping of the can body generating material savings of about 3%. These savings may vary up or down depending on the conformation of the can body i3/9 parts.
- The expansion process for conformation of two parts metal packs, and expansion process equipment for conformation of two parts metal packs, now proposed, can be adapted for various types of expansion processes, and can use the isolated or integrated operator station into the production line of the two parts can, enabling the production of the most varied shapes and sizes of bodies of two-piece cans, irrespective of the raw material used to manufacture the can.

This is an innovation, especially for beverages in general, such as beer and soft drinks and other commodities packaged in two pieces cans that are becoming increasingly similar. The expanded two parts can, will be an important tool to distinguish them through new forms (shape), layout and design. A feature that will differentiate one brand from another, placing an attractive to the brand and increase its value through its identity.
- Among the innovative features of the expansion process for conformation of two parts metal packs, and expansion process equipment for conformation of two parts metal packs, now proposed for conformation, by expanding the body of the can, there is the fact the process being done at a station, which may be performed prior to tin refile, or cutting the surplus from top of the can, and refile or after the formation of the neck and flange the can.
- In order to allow clear visualization of the differentiation between the conventional process of producing a tin of two pieces of steel or aluminum and tin this same conformation of two parts, the relatively expansion process for conformation of two parts metal packs, and expansion process equipment for conformation of two parts metal packs, proposed herein, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which the production process of the conventional two-piece tin is represented by the letter “A”, the expansion process, sometimes proposed for forming the can body of two parts, before refile tin, represented by the letter “B”; the production process of the conventional two piece canister is represented by the letter “C” and the process of expanding and forming the two parts tin body, and formation refile after the neck and flange of the can, is represented by the letter “D”.

FIGS. 1B-8B and 1D-8D we highlight the possibility of creating many ways to form two-piece cans, which until now was not possible. This diversification of forms and presentations will enable the creation and exposure of the identity of the product in the market, enabling print marks, signs and other forms of low or high relief that identify the product in the shape of the tin. - Another feature is the ability to create reliefs and indicative for the visually impaired, which may be guided by embossing or by the identity of the product, through the forms adopted in the body of the can.
- The processes illustrated in
FIGS. 1B-8B and 1D-8D use expansion systems, which may be through mandrel, nuts, ruler, calipers, compressed air, water and oil among others, which obtain the expanded can, together with the production of two parts can is performed in six stages or operations, using specific equipment for expansion operation, which may be interconnected or not in the production. - The first stage, which is feeding the coils and cutting and stamping the tin cup, as shown in (
FIGS. 1A , 1B, 1C, 1D) are the same for all processes. - The second stage, which occurs the tin stamping and background formation, shown in (
FIGS. 2A , 2B, 2C, 2D), are also the same for all processes. After forming the bottom of the can (FIGS. 3A , 3B, 3C, 3D), the processes are distinguished, namely, in the conventional process represented byFIGS. 1A-7A in the third stage is the cutting of the excess top of the can which the tin refile is made (FIG. 4A ). - In the third stage of the process 1B-8B starts the process of expansion of the can body in two parts, the system chosen (
FIG. 4B ), this operation is not envisaged in the process 1A-7A. - In the fourth stage of the process 1A-7A is done the decoration of the can (
FIG. 6A ), while in 1B-8B occurs the cutting of the excess top of the can which tin refile is made (FIG. 5B ). - In the fifth stage of the process 1A-7A is performed the process of forming the neck and flange in a can (
FIG. 7A ), finishing operations, while in case 1B-8B is done decoration of the can (FIG. 7B ). - In the sixth process stage 1B-8B is performed the process of forming the neck and flange in a can (
FIG. 8B ), finishing operations. - In the process 1C-7C, the third stage is intended to cut the surplus from top of the can, i.e. the tin refile (
FIG. 4C ), and the process 1D-8D, the third stage also occurs tin refile (FIG. 4D ). - The fourth process stage 1C-7C, the decoration of tin is made (
FIG. 6C ), whereas in case 1D-8D in the fourth stage is also made the decoration (FIG. 6D ). - In the fifth stage of the process 1C-7C performs the formation of the neck and the can flange (
FIG. 7C ), finishing operations. - In the fifth stage of the process 1D-8D is also performed forming of neck and flange of the can (
FIG. 7D ), and then sent to the expansion station. - In the sixth stage of the process 1D-8D starts the process of expansion of the can body in two parts (
