From idea to end solution 01 CHALLENGE

05 PROCESS

Can production is a sophisticated process that depends on the combined performance of coils, lubricants, tools, machines and even sensors. The malfunction of any one of these items will result in a total stoppage of the line.

By utilizing our research and development, we can give canmakers the optimum material grade for their specific production applications. Each design may require a very specific grade. Our ongoing material development programs focus on providing manufacturers with superior products of consistent quality in different grades to perfectly suit the application.

02 CONCEPT The tooling supplied by Sandvik provides complete long-term stability, DWI process and all types of forming and stamping operations for the can manufacturing industry.

03 IDEA With Sandvik’s expertise in can design, engineering, support and troubleshooting, we can help the customer bring their idea to reality. Involve us at an early stage to get the best result.

04 DESIGN Sandvik Hyperion can tooling gives the customer the opportunity to implement a unique design. Our tooling allows the customer to specify the dimensions of the body, the cup, the necking die and metal blanking specification. With us, design goes hand in hand with optimized plant performance.

Engineered Can Tool Solutions Sandvik’s core strengths in applied materials expertise and development, and fully integrated manufacturing processes, reinforce a global leadership position by providing engineering solutions to the can maker industry.

All our metallurgical processes are rigorously controlled, from the raw material to the finished product. We are, of course, quality certified in accordance with the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 norms.

Our commitment of early involvement in new product development programs allow Sandvik customers to leverage our core strengths ensuring the highest level of technical, engineering, design and manufacturing support. Benefits to our customers include a reduction in new product “time to market”, cycle time, lower overall product costs, improved productivity and increased profitability.

Sandvik is its own raw material developer and manufacturer, which is an advantage for the customer, in terms of costs and reliability. Cemented carbide is one of the most successful composite engineering materials ever produced. Its unique combination of strength, hardness and toughness satisfies the most demanding applications. The most valuable property of cemented carbide is that it offers a safer and more dependable solution than any other known material to one of the toughest problems which engineers have to contend with - reliability.

Sandvik invites you to take advantage of our core strengths. Involve us as early in new product development projects from design stage to end support and recycling, to offer you a full solution.

Our ongoing material development programs at Sandvik Research and Development focus on providing manufactures with superior products of uniform quality in different grades to perfect suit the application.

Sandvik provides engineered can tool solutions: • Raw material manufacturer • Can Tooling materials developer and manufacturer • Complete Research and Development • Recycling

Recycling for a sustainable environment Environmental consideration is a key element in all our operations. We always strive to prevent or minimize harmful effects of our operations on the environment. The Sandvik Hyperion Recycling Concept is a service intended to make it easy and effective to recycle used tooling in a properly managed and in an environmentally suitable way. A principal aim is to increase the amount of carbide being recycled, thus reducing the demand for non renewable resources. Sandvik maintains full control over the complete recycling process. This ensures that we maintain our high product quality, whether the material is of virgin or recycled sources.

Certified Recycling Process

Overview of products Canmakers have very different criteria when changing their tools. Some change tooling after the manufacture of a certain number of cans and others only change tooling when the cans produced are no longer meeting specifications. Regardless of how you determine when to change your tooling, production will stop while making the change. Improved bodymaker, cupper press and necking tooling design can help reduce tooling costs and allow you to operate at higher speeds.

Body Maker Many canmakers regard the bodymaker as key to the performance of the finished can, which is why Sandvik Hyperion supplies the full range of bodymaker tools.

Sandvik Hyperion has a proven track record as a key global supplier of tooling for the manufacture of 2 piece beverage cans. We offer tooling in steel, cemented carbide and ceramic giving you the ability to source your total requirements from one supplier and partner, Sandvik. Punch Nose

Premium Grades for Punch Sleeves DZ10 Offers outstanding performance compared to standard grades

DZ18 Lightweight cemented carbide grade for Can Tooling

Advantages offered by DZ10 compared to conventional grades to produce both aluminum and steel cans:

Advantages offered by DZ18:

• Longer production life between repolishing/cross-hatching. • Longer production life between regrinds.

• Improved sliding properties facilitates stripping of the can and reduced tear off rate.

• More regrinds are possible as less material needs to be removed.

• Longer production life between repolishing, crosshatching and regrinds.

• Total Punch production life up on conventional grades by as much as 3 times.

• More regrinds are possible as less material needs to be removed.

• Punch maintains its surface finished throughout the production cycle. • Less stripping problems. • Less wear as a result of enhanced abrasion and corrosion resistance giving.

12

• 15% lightweight punch reduces bodymaker ram drop and improves tool pack alignment*.

• Total punch production life higher than conventional grades by as much as 3 times. • Punch maintains its surface finish throughout the production cycle. *new bodymaker set up to be considered when changing from conventional to lightweight grade. For example, this grade provides 0.6kg weight reduction in 33 cl punches

Cemented carbide manufacturing process When creating a tooling solution for 2 piece cans, the tooling specifications must to be clearly defined. By utilizing our knowledge in powder metallurgy, we can give canmakers the optimum material grade for their specific production applications. Each design may require a very specific grade. Our ongoing material development programs focus on providing manufacturers with superior products of consistent quality in different grades to perfectly suit the application.

All our metallurgical processes are rigurously controlled, from the raw material to the finished product. We are, of course, quality certified in accordance with: • ISO 9001: Quality Assurance • ISO 14001: Environmental • OHSAS 18001: Health & Safety The processes also undergo continuous development in order to improve existing procedures and create new ones to achieve specific material compositions, design, production and machining techniques as well as solving particular application trouble-shootings.
