Definition and Usage
Definition: A can – turning device is a mechanical device used to achieve a 180 – degree or other – angle turn of containers.
Usage: It is mainly applied in industries such as beverages, liquor, and food, used for the turning of aluminum cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles, etc. On the production line, it can realize processes such as container exhaust, sterilization, and cleaning.
Working Principle
- Spiral Inner – cavity Type: The bottles or cans are sent into the spiral inner cavity inside the main body of the can – turning device through a conveyor belt. The bottles or cans gradually turn to the required angle, such as the common 180° or 360° turn, along with the guidance of the spiral structure in the spiral inner cavity. This method has a simple structure. It does not require additional prime movers and reduction gears, and can work by using the slight conveying force in the production process.
Continuous Rotating Bottle – clamping Type: It includes a frame, a turning component, and two clamping components. The drive motor of the turning component drives the turning shaft to rotate. The two clamping components are symmetrically installed on both sides of the turning shaft and are suitable for clamping bottles and cans. Whether the turning shaft turns 180° forward or backward, the two clamping components can always rotate to both sides of the turning shaft alternately. Thus, in each rotation stroke of the turning shaft, the bottle or can on one side of the turning shaft is turned to the other side, achieving the purpose of continuous turning with relatively high can – turning efficiency.

Structural Composition
- High – toughness Frame: It provides overall support and a stable structure for the can – turning device, ensuring that no deformation or damage occurs during the turning process. It can bear the weight of bottles or cans and the force generated during turning.
- Precise Transmission System: It determines the smoothness and efficiency of the can – turning device’s turning. Common transmission methods include chain drive and belt drive, etc. It can accurately transmit power to the turning components, realizing the precise turning of bottles or cans.
- Advanced Control Program: Equipped with intelligent sensors, it can monitor the turning status in real – time to ensure safe operation. At the same time, many can – turning devices can also be connected to the central control system. Through automated management, remote monitoring and data analysis can be realized, improving the overall intelligence level of the production line.
Material Characteristics
- Ultra – high Molecular Wear – resistant Material: Such as ultra – high molecular polyethylene, which has self – lubrication. It can reduce the friction of bottles or cans during the turning process, avoiding scratching the surface of the containers. At the same time, it has high wear resistance, can withstand long – term use and frequent turning operations, and extends the service life of the can – turning device.
- Polymer PE Material: It is processed and manufactured according to the shape of the can. It has good flexibility and corrosion resistance, can adapt to bottles or cans of different shapes and sizes, and is not easily eroded by liquids such as beverages and liquor.
Application Advantages
- Improve Production Efficiency: The automated turning operation significantly reduces the time and labor intensity of manual container turning. It can achieve continuous and rapid turning to meet the needs of large – scale production.
- Ensure Product Quality: It can accurately turn the container to the required angle, ensuring that the product is uniformly processed in processes such as exhaust, sterilization, and cleaning. It reduces errors caused by manual operation and guarantees the stability of product quality.
- Reduce Costs: It reduces labor costs and losses caused by equipment damage and product damage. At the same time, the can – turning device made of new materials has a long service life and low maintenance costs.
- Wide Application Range: It can be customized according to different can and bottle shapes, and is suitable for containers of various sizes and shapes such as aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles. It is widely used in many industries such as food, beverages, beer, dairy products, and seasonings.
