Abstract:
A method and apparatus for applying a film of wax to the rim of a can end before that end is assembled onto the body of a can. The wax is applied by melting a 100 percent solids wax and forcing it as a liquid without the addition of a solvent through an airless spray nozzle under conditions which result in a thin film of 100 percent solids wax being applied as a narrow annular ring around the rim of the can end.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for applying an impervious protective coating over the seams of cylindrical metal can bodies either before or after the seams are welded, soldered, or cemented. The apparatus is operable to intermittently apply an airless spray to the interior overlapped seams of the cans as they continuously move past an airless spray gun secured to the end of a stubhorn of a can forming line. This apparatus includes an airless spray nozzle located on one side of the seams for directing a spray onto the inside corner of the seams of the formed can bodies and an air jet located on the opposite sides of the seams from the spray nozzle for confining the atomized spray or fog to the seam area of the can.
Abstract:
An airless spray nozzle particularly adapted for coating the interior cylindrical surface of objects such as metal cans for food, beverages and other substances which need protection against injurious reaction with or pollution from contact with the material of the can. The nozzle has an orifice that produces a spray having an asymmetrical fan-shaped pattern so that the flow can be matched to the internal surface configuration of a can or similar cylindrical object to apply a uniform coating thereto.
Abstract:
Apparatus for coating the interior cylindrical surface of objects such as metal cans for food, beverages and other substances which need protection against injurious reaction with or pollution from contact with the material of the can. Airless spray coating of such surfaces revolving at high speed by stationary spray nozzles external of the can. The nozzles project impinging airless sprays having desirable patterns through respective ends of open ended can cylinders into longitudinally elongated contact with the interior surface.
Abstract:
A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING AN IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE COATING OVER THE SEAMS OF CYLINDRICAL METAL CAN BODIES EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE SEAMS ARE WELDED, SOLDERED, OR CEMENTED AND PRIOR TO SPRAY COATING THE COMPLETE INTERIOR OF THE BODIES. THE APPARATUS IS OPERABLE TO INTERMITTENTLY APPLY AN AIRLESS SPRAY TO THE INTERIOR SEAMS OF THE CANS AS THEY CONTINUOUSLY MOVE PAST AN AIRLESS SPRAY GUN SECURED TO THE END OF A STUBHORN OF A CAN FORMING LINE. THE APPARATUS INCLUDES A NEW AND IMPROVED AIRLESS SPRAY NOZZLE WHICH IS OPERABLE TO ATOMIZE THE SPRAY NEARER THE NOZZLE THAN HAS HERETOFORE BEEN POSSIBLE. IT ALSO INCLUDES A PAIR OF AIR JETS LOCATED ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE SPRAY AND OPERABLE TO CONFINE THE ATOMIZED SPRAY OR FOG TO THE SEAM OF THE CAN SO THAT LITTLE OR NO EXCESS MATERIAL IS SPRAYED ONTO THAT PORTION OF THE CAN LOCATED ADJACENT THE SEAM.

Abstract:
A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING A FILM OF WAX TO THE BODY OF A CAN BEFORE THE CAN IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED WITH AN END OR ENDS. THE WAX IS APPLIED BY MELTING A 100% SOLIDS WAX AND FORCING IT AS A LIQUID WITHOUT THE ADDITION TO A SOLVENT THROUGH AN AIRLESS SPRAY NOZZLE UNDER CONDITIONS WHICH RESULTS IN A THIN FILM OF 100% SOLIDS WAX BEING APPLIED OVER THE COMPLETE INTERIOR SURFACE OF THE CAN BODY.
