FAQ
Q: What sizes of pails can Yongxin’s production line manufacture?
A: Yongxin’s automatic pail production line supports 10-25L conical pails with diameter range of 200-300mm and height range of 170-460mm. Common sizes include 10L, 18L, 20L, and 25L configurations, with tooling changeover for different specifications.
Q: What is the production speed of Yongxin’s pail line?
A: The fully automatic pail production line achieves 25-35 CPM (cans per minute), while the semi-automatic line operates at 12-16 CPM. Output varies based on pail size and tinplate material thickness.
Q: Can the pail production line handle different seaming specifications?
A: Yes. Yongxin’s rotary flanging technology supports both 5-layer and 7-layer bottom seaming. Adjustment between seaming specifications requires minimal tooling changes, making the line adaptable to various quality and sealing requirements.
Q: Does Yongxin provide installation and training for international buyers?
A: Yongxin offers on-site installation and commissioning for bulk export orders, along with lifetime technical training. For smaller orders, comprehensive remote video guidance and detailed documentation are provided.
Q: What is the difference between conical pails and cylinder pails?
A: Conical pails have a tapered body (wider at the top, narrower at the bottom) allowing nesting for efficient storage and transport. Cylinder pails have uniform diameter. Yongxin manufactures equipment for both types, with the conical pail line being the most commonly requested configuration for lubricant and paint packaging.
Q: Is Yongxin qualified for international export of pail production lines?
A: Yes. Jiujiang Yongxin Can Equipment Co., Ltd. holds import & export trade qualifications, National High-Tech Enterprise certification, and Jiangxi Provincial “Specialized & Sophisticated” SME designation.
