Unimaq, a global 2-piece aluminium beverage can solutions supplier, is returning to Asia CanTech. This year, the company will be presenting to the world of cans the full array of products and services, from its operator training programmes to full 8-colour Rutherford Decorators.

The company will also discuss in detail its Mass Base Rim Coater’s (MBRC’s). MBRC’s have become the company’s flagship product, with its bespoke approach “allowing us to meet every customer requirement.” according to Unimaq. The company can provide dome-up or dome-down machine configurations and even variable conveyor lengths. It offers a variety of curing systems also, with the traditional Microwave or Arc curing method. 

Unimaq is also presenting its latest advancement in quality inspection, UniCAM AI. Unimaq’s AI powered base rim inspection system is built to reduce spoilage and improve efficiency of your rim coaters.

“After a period of researching the additional requirements of our customer using MBRC’s we began to see a trend. Many can makers were trying to find a way to improve their processes to minimise operator checks and reduce spoilage in between their checks. Relying on hourly coverage checks mean data handling becomes critical from shift to shift, an operator is available every hour and potentially sub-optimal coating is applied to thousands of cans between checks.” the company noted.

With the advancement of AI inspection systems in the industry currently, Unimaq has looked to apply it in a manner that may have been overlooked. UniCAM AI acts as your hourly check, only it is inspecting every single can that passes through the line, 24/7. Meaning your operator requirement and spoilage is greatly reduced. Also, all performance data is recorded and is fully downloadable, giving you a more detailed depiction on your MBRC’s performance than previously possible.

UniCAM can be fitted to an active line on our MBRC’s or even any of our competitor’s, meaning even integration causes next to no disruption! For more information, be sure to hear the company at Asia Can Tech on Day 2 at 12:00 where the sales manager Brad Stanley will be presenting the full capabilities of UniCAM and more.
