More than Bigger

More than Bigger

In metal packaging industry, some metal containers are big volume, such as conical pails, necking pails, steel drums, water heater storage tanks and square cans. For the big size products, the drum welder is not simply to lengthen size. The drum welding machine must be designed in an overall coordinated manner to accommodate the production of special large-format products. The stacks of big size metal sheets are heavy, we install additional front feeder before the welder, then the machine operator just need to push the stacks of sheet through rollers on the front feeder effortlessly, and the metal sheets are sucked from the top of the stacks. So the pneumatic and motor system must be stronger to support the heavy materials. In common, the big size sheets are thick, then the electric system must be powerful enough to output a stable current to be competent for welding, and the welding rollers and lower arms must be bigger than common size.

Gas Shielding

Gas Shielding

In order to prevent the weld seam from oxidation during welding, and get a beautiful weld seam, also improve the corrosion resistance of weld seam, the welder is possible to be equipped with gas shielding device. At the beginning of welding, the solenoid valve of the nitrogen system is connected, the nitrogen flows out from the cylinder and is sprayed to the weld seam through the gas shielding adapter. Please compare the nitrogen protection results in the picture.
