Drum Manufacturing Process.

Drumbody production system consists of the following components:

Offset Print system for Printing CRCA sheet of suitable size.
a slitter to cut the M.S Sheet (pre printed)base material into body blanks of the
required size,
a transfer system,
a drumbody welder,
a seam protection unit,
a curing system to dry and harden the seam protection and
a bodyformer to give the drumbody its final profile and shape.
Components line for TOP/Bottom and other parts.
The line will also include a unit to test the air-tightness of the finished product and a
palletizer.
1. The slitter is the first stage in a three-piece drumbody production line. It cuts
the printed and lacquered base material large square metal sheets into body
blanks of the required size.
2. The cut blanks are then fed into the drumbody welders magazine from the
slitter by a transfer system. Slitters and transfer systems should satisfy
demanding quality criteria such as versatility, precision, reliability, fast, simple
adjustability and production speed.
3. The heart of a three-piece drum production line is the drumbody welder. This is
where the body blanks receive their cylindrical shape and where the seam
overlap is welded which should be minimal as little as 0.40 mm. Optimal
control of the welding current in combination with an accurate pressure on the
overlap guarantee a mashed seam of only 1.4 times the thickness of the sheet
metal is required.
4. After the drumbody has been welded, a physical barrier against oxidation and
other chemical reactions will be applied to the inner and outer weld seams. For
high-speed M.S Sheet drum production, liquid-lacquering of the inside seam,
and roller or brush-lacquering of the outside seam will be needed.
5. After passing through the weld seam protection unit, the drumbody enters the
curing system. A conveyor belt takes the drumbodies through a gas-fired
heating
system with automatically regulated hot air burners. The
conveyor belt has
guides
that ensure the drumbodies remain centrally
positioned throughout the
entire heat treatment.
6. Once the raw drumbodies leave the curing system, they are ready to be given
their final shape and prepared for the endseaming process. Fully
automated
bodyformers will combine all the necessary functions in a
single machine: shaping (mainly for optical purposes), necking (for good
stacking properties
after filling), flanging (necessary for the subsequent
seaming process),
beading (for
additional stability) and seaming (of
either the bottom or top
end). Bodyformers
are
a
multi-function
system designed to meet the technical and commercial
drum making needs.
