Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9817416A1] The reshaping of containers such a metal cans by expanding the container against a mould (1) using pressurised air is described. The mould is of the longitudinally split type and typically comprises three mould parts (5, 6, 7) separated by transverse gaps. During the forming operation the or each gap is reduced in size as two of the mould parts (5, 6) move towards the third (7). Air bearings are used to allow these moving mould parts to move freely and simultaneously to clamp longitudinally split parts together.
