INTEGRATED CATALYTIC OXIDIZER WITH AN INTERNAL BAKE OVEN
A closed loop fluid apparatus is fluidically coupled to a container component curing apparatus (168). A catalytic oxidizer (300) is fluidically coupled to the container component curing apparatus (168). An exhaust fluid flow (208) from the container component curing apparatus (168) passes through an entry end of the catalytic oxidizer (300). A heater (312) is downstream from the entry end. A temperature (Ti) of the exhaust fluid flow (208) is increased to a reacting temperature (Tr) in the heater (312), and a heated fluid flow (320) exits the heater (312) at the reacting temperature (Tr). A catalyst (316) receives the heated fluid flow (320) from the heater (312).

A method of inspecting metallic container components (10) provides indexing a container component (10) produced from a metallic material into axial alignment with a probe (110). The probe (110) has a coil (176) produced from an electrical conductor. An alternating current (183) is applied to the coil (176) wherein a first magnetic field (184) is generated. An eddy current (188) develops in the container component (10) in response to the first magnetic field (184). A second magnetic field (192) is generated in response to the eddy current (188). Changes in an impedance amplitude and phase angle in the coil (176) are measured. A determination of the fitness for use of the container component (10) is made based on the measured changes in the impedance amplitude and phase angle in the coil (176).
A pre-bubble (66) is formed in a center panel (12) of an unfinished can end (10). The pre-bubble (66) forms a convex protrusion on a public side (32) of the center panel (12) and a concave recess on a product side (34) of the unfinished can end (10). The unfinished can end (10) is then transferred to a conversion press wherein the unfinished can end (10) is converted to a finished can end comprising a tab (28) attached to the center panel (12) by a rivet (38).

Methods of sealing a metallic container are provided. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods that reduce the amount of force applied to a metallic bottle to seal the metallic bottle with a ROPP closure. The methods include use of a capping apparatus that may include more thread rollers than known capping apparatus. Optionally, the thread rollers may use more forming passes to form threads on the ROPP closure. The capping apparatus may also rotate one or more of the ROPP closure and the metallic container in a closing direction before the metallic container is discharged. In one embodiment, the thread rollers form the closure threads before or after a pilfer roller applies a sideload to the ROPP closure.

Methods and apparatus of decorating metallic containers are provided. More specifically, the present invention provides novel apparatus and methods of forming an indicia or a decorative shape on a closed end-wall of a metallic container body. A tool of one embodiment of the present invention is operable to form an indicia in a metallic sheet. A cupping apparatus can subsequently form a cup from the metallic sheet which includes the indicia. The cup can be formed into a container body by a bodymaker. In another embodiment, a tool of a bodymaker is operable to form an indicia or a decorative shape in a closed end-wall during formation of a metallic container body. The indicia or decorative shape can be formed by coining, punching, embossing, debossing, and other techniques of forming and shaping metal material from which the metallic container body is formed. In this manner, the indicia may include one or more raised portions and sunken portions in the closed end-wall. Optionally, the indicia may enhance the strength of the closed end-wall, such as to prevent or resist buckling and deformation.

Method and apparatus of decorating a metallic container by digital printing to a transfer blanket
An apparatus and methods of decorating a metallic container are provided. More specifically, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods used to provide a decoration or indicia on a predetermined portion of an outer surface of a metallic container body. The decorator includes at least one digital print unit, a transfer blanket, and a support element. The digital print unit transfers a decorating material to the transfer blanket to form a decoration on the transfer blanket. The support element then moves a metallic container into contact with the transfer blanket. In this manner, the decorating material is transferred to an exterior surface portion of the metallic container to decorate the metallic container. In one embodiment, the digital print unit is an electrophotographic system which transfers a toner material to the transfer blanket. In another embodiment, the digital print unit includes an inkjet print head which transfers an ink to the transfer blanket. Optionally, the decorator may include two or more support elements.
