Closetech Rotary Closing Machines: Series 2003, 2004, and 2006 RCM

The 2000 RCM Series of closing machines has been value-engineered to meet the current and future needs of the can-making industry. The high degree of parts interchangeability between all members of this series results in:

  • Lower machine-building cost, due to the larger manufacturing lot sizes of common parts
  • Reduced lead time, resulting from our ability to assemble the machine required to fill your exact requirements from a stock of common parts
  • Better parts prices and delivery due to the large number of common parts utilized on all models
  • Lower customer investments in spare parts inventory; the ability to maintain a single set of common emergency spare parts to cover the majority of your requirements for 3, 4 and 6 spindle machines.

The 2000 Series has been designed with the versatility necessary to accommodate the full range of products and can sizes packed in your plant, and you can accomplish height changeovers in a matter of minutes. This quick-change feature is the result of a concept which provides for the support and driving of all height change-related components directly from the top housing. The simplicity of design provides for ease of operation and maintenance by the varying skill levels of personnel employed around the world.
