UNIFORMITY MAKES US UNIQUE.
CONTROLLED CLAMPING PRESSURE.
REDUCED SPLIT DOMES.
As speeds increase and can stocks get thinner, consistent clamping pressure becomes more critical. Pride’s Hybrid Bottom Former utilizes the largest air chamber behind the piston for more consistent force continuing Pride’s lead in bottom former technology for down-gauging material and reducing splits.
CONSISTENT DOME DEPTHS.
SOFTER DONUT SPRINGS.
FOUR CHOICES OF FORCE.
Ram linkages stretch as bodymakers speed up. Pride’s long, high-mass springs accommodate changes in overtravel to reduce the pinching that causes split domes.
FORCE CONTROL (GREEN). Our lowest force donut spring for smaller diameter cans and thinner materials.
LOW SHOCK (RED). Most common for beverage cans. Optimizes dome depth at any speed while reducing shock.
RAM CONTROL (YELLOW). This lower force spring engages the punch before the dynamic stretch phase, helping the ram turn and reducing ram whip.
HIGH STRENGTH (BLUE). Increases buckle strength for larger beverage cans or is used for food cans to maintain panel depth.
