    摘要: Disclosed is a knock-out ram assembly that includes a bushing and a knock-out ram extending through the bushing. The knock-out ram is configured to translate relative to the bushing. The knock-out ram assembly further includes a die coupled to the bushing at one end of the knock-out ram assembly, and a knock-out retainer assembly coupled to the knock-out ram at the one end. The knock-out retainer assembly includes a retainer and a filler body. The knock-out ram assembly further includes a knock-out retained against the knock-out ram at the one end by the knock-out retainer assembly. In one or more embodiments, the knock-out ram assembly is combined with a push ram assembly as a ram system for processing containers.

    摘要: Disclosed are insulated containers and steps for making the same. The insulated containers include an outer shell formed of a thin wall of aluminum. The outer shell includes an outer wall and an outer base. The containers further include an inner shell formed of a thin wall of aluminum. The inner shell includes an inner wall and an inner base. The inner wall is coupled to the outer wall at a top of the container. The inner wall is at least partially tapered. The containers further include a joint between the outer base and the inner base at a bottom of the container. The outer shell and the inner shell define a space between the outer wall and the inner wall along a height of the container and between the outer base and the inner base across the bottom of the container.

    摘要: A symmetric, modular base for a can processing system. The base includes a leg portion comprising a plurality of openings adapted for receiving at least one of a transfer star wheel and a turret mechanism configured to perform a working operation on an article. The base further includes a first foot portion extending from a first side of the leg portion. The base further includes a second foot portion extending from the second side of the leg portion. The base further includes a plurality of openings in the first foot portion and the second foot portion, the plurality of openings of the first and second foot portion providing access to an interior portion of the base. The base is generally symmetric about a center line drawn vertically through a midpoint of the leg portion of the base between the first foot portion and the second foot portion to allow for mounting of components on either a first side or a second side of the base.

    摘要: A device for transporting articles through a recirculation system for forming or processing the articles. The device includes a top portion configured to contact an article and a drive nut positioned within a first aperture of the top portion. The device includes a hub portion having a second aperture and a plurality of ejection pins extending through a respective one of a plurality of apertures of the top portion. The device includes a paddle wheel rotatably coupled to the hub portion. The paddle wheel has a first and second plurality of prongs extending radially outward and offset in generally opposing directions. The paddle wheel includes a post projecting radially inward and positioned within a third aperture. The device includes a drive screw extending through the first, second, and third apertures and having a head configured to engage the post and a threaded end is configured to engage the drive nut.

    摘要: A transfer assembly includes a transfer starwheel having recesses to receive an article. Each recess includes a vacuum port and at least one insert formed from a compliant material. The at least one insert at least partially defines a shape of the recess, which corresponds to an aspect of the article. The transfer assembly includes a mounting hub including a plurality of circumferential sets of vacuum openings extending axially along the mounting hub and coupled to a vacuum source. A vacuum is delivered to the vacuum openings. The transfer starwheel is mounted on a mounting hub to align the vacuum ports of the transfer starwheel with a selected set of vacuum openings on the mounting hub. The mounting hub rotates so that the transfer starwheel receives the article into one of the recesses at a first position and rotates to a second position while holding the article with the vacuum.
