Magnetic Conveyor for Tin Cans and Empty Can Handling

Baoli incline magnetic conveyor is designed for continuous conveying of tin cans and empty cans in can manufacturing, food and beverage canning, filling and end-of-line packaging applications. With strong magnetic attraction, the conveyor keeps tin cans stable during horizontal, inclined and vertical conveying, helping reduce can tipping, falling and accumulation.

S-type, G-type and Z-type configurations are available to fit different factory layouts and conveying requirements. The conveyor can be customized according to can size, conveying distance, line speed, installation space and production capacity.

Key Advantages of Baoli Incline Magnetic Conveyor

Stable Conveying of Tin Cans

The magnetic conveying system uses magnetic force to hold tin cans securely against the conveying surface. This is particularly useful when cans need to be transferred through inclined, vertical or high-speed sections where ordinary conveyors may cause cans to fall or become unstable.

S-Type, G-Type and Z-Type Designs

Different production lines have different space limitations. Baoli provides three common configurations:

• S-Type Magnetic Conveyor – suitable for conveying cans through an S-shaped route and connecting equipment at different positions.

• G-Type Magnetic Conveyor – designed for compact layouts where the conveying direction needs to change within limited space.

• Z-Type Magnetic Conveyor – suitable for lifting or transferring cans between different heights while maintaining continuous conveying.

The conveyor configuration can be customized according to the customer's factory layout.

Plastic Modular Mesh Chain

The conveying surface uses a durable plastic mesh chain, providing smooth can movement and reliable continuous operation. The chain structure is suitable for integration with other conveyor sections and can be configured according to the application.

Flexible Frame Options

The conveyor frame can be manufactured with:

• Powder-coated carbon steel

• Aluminum alloy

Carbon steel is suitable for customers looking for a robust and economical structure, while aluminum alloy provides a lightweight solution and a clean appearance.

Customized Motor Power and Conveyor Speed

The motor and power configuration are selected according to the customer's actual requirements, including conveyor length, can size, conveying speed, lifting height and production capacity.

Rather than using one standard motor configuration for every application, Baoli designs the drive system according to the complete conveying requirement.

Reliable Electrical Components

Electrical components are selected from established international brands according to the project requirements. The control system can be integrated with the customer's existing production line and other Baoli automation equipment.

Where Is a Magnetic Conveyor Used?

Magnetic conveyors are mainly used when tin cans need to be transported continuously and securely through different sections of a production or packaging line.

1. Tin Can Production Lines

In a 3-piece can production line, magnetic conveyors can be used as part of the empty-can conveying system to transfer cans between different processing and handling sections.

They can be integrated with equipment such as:

• Can conveyors

• Cooling conveyor systems

• Stander / can uprighter

• Rotary machines

• Empty can palletizers

• Pallet conveyor systems

For complete automation of a 3-piece can production line, see our [3-piece can production line automation solution].

2. Food and Beverage Canning Lines

Magnetic conveyors can also be used in food and beverage canning lines for conveying empty tinplate cans before filling or transferring cans between different production sections.

For canning-line applications, Baoli also supplies [automatic can depalletizers] for unloading empty cans from pallets before they enter the filling line.

3. End-of-Line Packaging

After cans are palletized, conveyor systems can transfer the finished pallet or packaged cans to downstream packaging equipment.

Depending on the production layout, the conveying system can be connected with:

• [Can palletizer]

• [Pallet conveyor]

• [Strapping machine]

• [Stretch wrapping machine]

• [Stretch hood machine]

This allows different machines to work as one continuous automated packaging system.

Magnetic Conveyor for Different Factory Layouts

A major advantage of a customized magnetic conveyor is its ability to work around existing equipment and limited factory space.

The S, G and Z configurations can be selected according to:

• Available floor space

• Required conveying direction

• Difference in conveying height

• Can size and shape

• Required line speed

• Distance between machines

• Production capacity

• Connection with upstream and downstream equipment

Baoli can design the conveyor dimensions and drive configuration according to the actual production-line layout instead of using a fixed standard design.

Why Choose Baoli Magnetic Conveyor?

Baoli focuses on auxiliary automation equipment for tinplate can production lines and can conveying applications.

Our magnetic conveyor systems are designed as part of a complete automation solution rather than as an independent conveyor only. The conveying route, frame structure, drive power and control system can be coordinated with other equipment in the production line.

Baoli provides support from equipment design and manufacturing to installation, commissioning and production guidance.

Looking for a Magnetic Conveyor for Your Can Line?

The right magnetic conveyor depends on more than conveyor length. Can diameter and height, line speed, conveying distance, lifting height, available factory space and the connection with other equipment all affect the final design.

Send us your can size, required speed, conveying distance and layout, and Baoli can recommend a suitable S-type, G-type or Z-type magnetic conveyor configuration for your application.
