    Abstract: A can body that has been subjected to outer surface painting (OV), inner surface painting (INS), and a neck process (SDN) but that has not been subjected to image formation is manufactured in a canning factory. The can body that has not been subjected to image formation is shipped to a beverage can manufacturing factory. At the beverage can manufacturing factory, an image formation process using a printer (PR) is performed. Specifically, ink is ejected from an inkjet head toward the can body, to thereby form an image on the outer circumferential surface of the can body. Thereafter, the can body is filled with beverage in a filler (FL), and then a can lid is attached to the can body in a seamer (SM).

    Abstract: When each of can bodies 10 moves, the can body 10 is not located at a stop point 40, and ultraviolet light from a light source 13 is going to proceed toward a printing part 120 as indicated by an arrow 3A. On this occasion, a shielding part 51 becomes located at a position facing the light source 13, and thereby, the ultraviolet light is shielded to be less likely to reach the printing part 120.

    Abstract: A lubricator 2 supplies an unwound coil material as an alloy plate material 11 to a metal beverage can production line for forming the alloy plate material 11 into a metal beverage can. The lubricator 2 includes: a felt roll 21 configured to contain lubricating oil in a first outer circumferential section, a felt roll 22 with a second outer circumferential section, a plate material lift configured to switch between a first state in which the alloy plate material 11 contacts the first outer circumferential section of the felt roll 21 and the second outer circumferential section of the felt roll 22, and the first outer circumferential section and/or the second outer circumferential section apply the lubricating oil to the alloy plate material 11, and a second state in which the felt roll 21 and/or the felt roll 22 applying the lubricating oil in the first state are idly rotatable by separating from the alloy plate material 11, and an air receiving section configured to apply a driving force to the idly rotatable felt roll 21 and/or the idly rotatable felt roll 22 in the second state as switched by the plate material lift.
