Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010026115A1] An infeed assembly for introducing can bodies to necker tooling for reducing the diameter of an open end of the can body comprises three turrets: an infeed turret (30) which receives incoming can bodies from a chute, an infeed transfer turret (40) and a waxer turret (50). The infeed turret can have, for example 12 pockets for receiving the can bodies, which are then transferred to the infeed transfer turret which has 6 pockets. The important feature of the invention is that the transfer turret has the same number of pockets as are on the waxer turret, thereby avoid can damage when waxing rollers on the waxer turret engage an incoming can body.
