LIDS

Clevertech is able to supply the lidmaking industry too, with different systems dedicated to conveying, accumulate, package and palettize lids.

Clevertech’s experience includes unwrapping lids to be seamed to cans, too. Indeed, looking to the company
roots, that is where everything started.

Our founder is an engineer who matured his experience in a can-lidmaking plant.

MINUTES

Changeover time is extremely important in highly competitive markets such as the lid making industry.

In the past, using previous technology, the change of production from a 73 to 99 mm diameter lid could be as much as one day, with more than three operators.
Thanks to specific mechanical design, the same operations were reduced to less than 90 minutes, with 2 operators.
However, today, with our innovative technology, we can guarantee the same change over in 10 minutes, resulting far less unproductive downtime.

COMPENSATING OF MICRO STOPPAGES

One of our first innovations - related to lid making plant - was the development of dynamic accumulation systems designed to avoid micro stoppages within the lids presses.

The knowhow gained while looking at lid production helps us to understand that it is possible to improve line efficiency with different solutions, in both green - and brownfield projects.
Clevertech’s balancer increases line efficiency by a minimum of 10%, by compensating for micro stoppages.

TYPES OF LIDS

Steel, aluminum, or paper. Cylindrical, oval, or shaped. Flat, top or dome.

These are just few of the systems Clevertech delivers to convey, package and palettize lids in production plants; with a worldwide presence from Australia to Chile passing through Asia, Europe and the United States.

LIDS WRAPPING & UNWRAPPING AND SNAKE PALLETIZING SOLUTIONS

Due to over 30 years of success in the setting of lid systems, Clevertech has gained a lot of experience - facing different situations and finding innovative and efficient solutions. Thanks to established partnerships, Clevertech has collaborated in the realization of projects with the major machine makers in the sector, including Shell press, Conversion press, Oven and Vision systems.

In the engineering phase, thanks to its acquired knowledge, Clevertech is able to reduce the line’s design time and implement vertical start up.

One of the major complexities, in the project management for the realization of lids, is the transport phase.
Clevertech designs and produces (in house) all the links and transport systems between the machines that make up the line.

Even the robotic systems that balance differences in the speeds, in the end production and also in the end line are built in Clevertech.

Everything is totally integrated.

A key element for obtaining line efficiency and reaching the maximum flexibility is the correct design of the transportation during the lidtransformation phase.

The technologies for the handling of lids can be:

Vacuum
Pneumatic
Magnetic

For balancing the disparities in production speed, and also to give customers the ability to change shapes without any line stoppages, it’s possible to deploy robotic or traditional systems with magnetic or mechanical handling?

A Clevertech lid line comprises palettization, strapping, stretch wrapping and labelling. 9 different types of lids can be handled by Clevertech solutions:

Steel lids
Aluminum lids
Open-top
Easy-open
Oval lids
¼ club
Top
Dome
Grease paper
