Training for canmakers of 3-piece tinplate food cans.
Tuesday:
Rectangular Double Seaming
Engineering challenges and best practices in rectangular double seaming, translating theory and computer simulation into reliable, high-quality non-round metal packaging.
Managing Infant Formula Can Production in a Clean Environment
Designing and managing a clean manufacturing process for infant formula cans, covering hygiene requirements, process optimization and the mindset shift from retort can production to infant formula packaging.
Wednesday:
Minimizing Internal & External Corrosion in Manufacturing, Filling and Logistics
Practical strategies to prevent tinplate corrosion throughout the entire production chain, from protective coatings and manufacturing processes to filling, handling and warehouse storage.
Operational Audits for High-Performance Can Making Lines
This course explains how to use operational audits to identify and eliminate the real causes of downtime, quality defects, and production losses in can manufacturing lines. Participants will learn how to conduct a structured 24-hour operational audit, distinguish root causes from symptoms, prioritize improvement opportunities, and develop an effective action plan. The course also highlights the specific technical skills required for can making audits and the critical role of supervision and management in achieving sustainable performance improvements.
Thursday:
Structural Engineering of Cans for Thermal Processing
Understanding the key design principles that enable cans to withstand thermal processing, preventing buckling, paneling and pressure-related deformation while maintaining package integrity.
Practical Shelf Life Testing
Designing and implementing an effective shelf life testing programme, considering the interaction between filled products, tinplate, coatings and easy-open ends to ensure long-term package performance.
