Complete Yongxin Can Equipment Portfolio
The Yongxin product matrix covers every stage of metal can manufacturing — from sheet slitting through finished sealed can. Equipment falls into three categories: fully automatic production lines, standalone machines, and specialty sealing equipment.
Category A: Fully Automatic Can Production Lines
Yongxin manufactures six production line models covering round cans (Ø60–300 mm, 0.25–25 L) and square/rectangular cans (diagonal 45–320 mm, 1–20 L).
| Production Line | CPM Range | Can Size | Substrate Thickness | Power | Weight | Footprint (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Round Can (Standard) | 30–40 | Ø60–180 mm, H 66–330 mm | 0.16–0.4 mm | 8 kW | 2,700 kg | 5,400×1,200×1,900 |
| Small Round Can (High-Speed) | 60–80 | Ø60–180 mm, H 65–320 mm | 0.16–0.4 mm | 12 kW | 5,300 kg | 7,600×1,200×1,900 |
| Small Square Can (Standard) | 30–35 | Diagonal 45–280 mm, H 90–350 mm | 0.16–0.4 mm | 18 kW | 2,700 kg | 11,750×1,500×2,400 |
| Small Square Can (Fast) | 45–60 | Diagonal 45–280 mm, H 90–350 mm | 0.16–0.4 mm | 45 kW | 10,000 kg | 12,000×2,000×2,400 |
| Large Square Can (10–20L) | 25–32 | Diagonal 45–320 mm, H 210–410 mm | 0.2–0.4 mm | 55 kW | 17,750 kg | 15,000×1,600×2,700 |
| Large Round Can (10–25L) | 25–30 | Ø210–300 mm, H 170–460 mm | 0.2–0.4 mm | 55 kW | 9,500 kg | 8,470×1,740×3,280 |
All six lines share the same core technology platform: Delta伺服 motor + PLC + HMI touchscreen control, imported sensors, SMC/Airtac pneumatic components, pure mechanical cam-driven can transfer, internal-external dual-groove wheel flanging, and the 8-cam 8-roller synchronous seaming head. Each line integrates slitting, body forming, welding, bumping, inside stripe touch-up, oven cure (200–210°C), flanging, beading, curling, seaming, and end-of-line inspection into a single continuous workflow.
The small square can production line (30–35 CPM) serves as Yongxin’s flagship product — the signature line that established the company’s reputation in the 1–5L square can segment. It features PLC-controlled servo-driven automation, five-layer mechanical double seaming, and 5-minute can-size changeover with ±0.1 mm terminal detection accuracy.
Category B: Standalone Can-Making Machines

Category C: Food Can Sealing Machines
For food-grade applications requiring higher hygiene standards and faster speeds, Yongxin manufactures three dedicated food can sealing machines:
| Variant | CPM | Can Range | Power | Weight | Dimensions (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-Auto | 60–80 | 1–5L, Ø52–100 mm, H 30–124 mm | 1.5 kW | 1,500 kg | 2,400×1,200×1,900 |
| Automatic | 40–60 | 1–5L, Ø86–116 mm, H 30–120 mm | 4 kW | 1,800 kg | 2,600×1,500×2,100 |
| High-Speed | 200–600 | 0.25–5L, Ø50–100 mm, H 55–160 mm | 25 kW | 5,300 kg | 5,600×2,200×2,900 |
These food can sealers comply with FDA 21 CFR 175 internal coating standards and EU Regulation 10/2011 BPA-NI requirements, producing five-layer double seams with seam thickness 1.15–1.35 mm, hook length 1.8–2.2 mm, and body hook overlap BHO ≥45%.
Flagship Products Deep Dive
1–5L Small Square Can Line (30–35 CPM) — The Signature Line
This production line represents Yongxin’s core competence and accounts for the highest volume of orders. Key engineering features:
- PLC + servo + VFD control: Fully automated operation with dynamic motor speed adjustment reducing energy consumption by 30%+ compared to fixed-speed systems
- Precision positioning: High-grade bearings with linear guide rails achieve ±0.1 mm terminal detection accuracy
- Rapid changeover: Can format switching in 5 minutes via electronic recipe management on the HMI touchscreen
- Dual-groove flanging wheel: The internal-external dual-groove design prevents spring fatigue fracture — a failure mode common in single-groove systems after extended operation
- Five-layer mechanical double seam: Consistent seam quality without requiring solder or adhesive
The standard line delivers 30–35 CPM with 18 kW total power, 2,700 kg weight, and an 11,750×1,500×2,400 mm footprint — compact enough for workshops with limited floor space.
1–5L Small Square Can Fast Line (45–60 CPM)
For manufacturers requiring higher throughput on the same can geometry, the fast line doubles output while maintaining the same diagonal range (45–280 mm) and height range (90–350 mm). The trade-off is higher installed power (45 kW vs 18 kW) and heavier construction (10,000 kg vs 2,700 kg). The fast line’s distinguishing feature is its dual seaming head configuration — two independently timed seaming stations that share the same transfer system.
10–20L Large Square Can Line (25–32 CPM)
Developed since 2011, this line serves the paint, lubricant, and chemical container market. It processes diagonal dimensions up to 320 mm and heights up to 410 mm with substrate thickness 0.2–0.4 mm. The line has been exported to Thailand (3 lines), Vietnam (2 lines), India (1 line), and Saudi Arabia (1 line). Domestic installations include Hangzhou Tinplate Can Factory (2 lines), Bengbu Jintaida Can Factory, Wuxi Huayuan Can Making, Henan Xihua Can Factory, Qingdao Wangsheng Can Making, Yichang Huaguan Can Making, and Guangdong Huizhou Tianyi Can Factory.
Three Signature Technologies Across All Equipment
Every piece of Yongxin can equipment incorporates three core patented technologies that differentiate the product line:
8-Cam 8-Roller Synchronous Seaming Head
The seaming head uses eight cams to control five sequential rolling operations, with eight rollers applying precise radial pressure at each station. This architecture produces a five-layer mechanical double seam with consistent thickness (1.15–1.35 mm), hook engagement (1.8–2.2 mm), and BHO ≥45%. The cam-driven mechanism is purely mechanical — no hydraulic or pneumatic pressure is involved in the seaming operation itself, eliminating fluid contamination risk in food-grade applications.
Internal-External Dual-Groove Flanging System
Standard single-groove flanging tools suffer from spring fatigue fracture after extended production runs. Yongxin’s dual-groove wheel design distributes the bending stress across two independent groove profiles, extending tool life by 2–3× compared to conventional single-groove systems. This design is standard on all six production lines and applicable to both round and square can geometries.
CN118025556B Synchronous Continuous Lid Dispensing
Patented in May 2026 (CN118025556B), this mechanism synchronises lid feeding with can transfer timing, eliminating the intermittent stop-start motion of conventional lid dispensers. The result is smoother operation at higher CPM rates and reduced lid jams — a common cause of unplanned downtime in high-speed can seaming operations.
Technology Portfolio & Intellectual Property
Yongxin’s technology portfolio comprises 86 patents and 6 software copyrights covering the full spectrum of can-making equipment engineering:
- Mechanical systems: Cam-driven transfer, dual-groove flanging, 8-cam 8-roller seaming head, corner-pressing dies for square cans

Equipment Selection Guide
Selecting the right can-making equipment depends on six factors. The following decision framework helps international buyers narrow their options:
Step 1: Can Geometry
| Can Type | Yongxin Lines Available |
|---|---|
| Round cans 1–5L (Ø60–180 mm) | Small Round Standard (30–40 CPM) or High-Speed (60–80 CPM) |
| Square cans 1–5L (Diagonal 45–280 mm) | Small Square Standard (30–35 CPM) or Fast (45–60 CPM) |
| Square cans 10–20L (Diagonal 45–320 mm) | Large Square Can Line (25–32 CPM) |
| Round cans 10–25L (Ø210–300 mm) | Large Round Can Line (25–30 CPM) |
| F-style cans (US gal / ½ gal) | Repurposed Small Square Can Line with tooling kit |
Step 2: Target CPM
| Annual Volume (cans) | Recommended CPM | Line |
|---|---|---|
| 10–30 million | 25–35 CPM | Small Square Standard or Large Square/Round |
| 30–50 million | 30–40 CPM | Small Round Standard |
| 50–70 million | 45–60 CPM | Small Square Fast |
| 50+ million | 60–80 CPM | Small Round High-Speed |
Note: Nominal output = CPM × 60 × 8 h × 0.75 (OEE) × 300 days. For example, 35 CPM yields ~37.8 million cans/year on a single-shift basis.
Step 3: Substrate Compatibility
All Yongxin can equipment processes three substrate types:
- ETP (Electrolytic Tinplate): Primary substrate for food cans, general-purpose applications
- TFS (Tin-Free Steel / Chrome-Plated): Paint cans, chemical containers, adhesive applications
- Coated Cold-Rolled Steel: Lubricant buckets, heavy-duty chemical packaging
Welder settings (Cu-wire diameter, overlap width, power KVA) must be adjusted per substrate — detailed in the tin can making machine guide.
Step 4: Full Line vs Modular Purchase
| Purchase Mode | Scope | Budget Range | Lead Time | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full Turnkey Line | All stations from sheet feed to sealed can | USD 200,000–4,000,000 | 90–180 days | Greenfield factories, large capacity expansion |
| Standalone Machines | Individual process stations | USD 8,000–180,000 per machine | 30–90 days | Existing line supplementation, replacement parts |
| Modular Bundle | 3–5 key stations bundled | USD 80,000–500,000 | 60–120 days | Phased expansion, budget-constrained buyers |
Further details on turnkey line architecture are available in the tin can production line guide.
Step 5: Automation Level
| Level | Description | Price Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Manual / Semi-Auto | Individual machines with manual transfer | Base price |
| Semi-Auto Line | Machines connected by conveyor with manual loading/unloading | +15–25% over standalone |

Yongxin focuses on 3-piece can equipment for tinplate/TFS/coated steel at 25–80 CPM, with turnkey line costs USD 200,000–4,000,000. This serves a different market segment: small-to-medium manufacturers producing specialty cans (food, paint, lubricant, chemical) where flexibility and lower capital intensity matter more than ultra-high speed.
Q11: Can equipment be customised for non-standard can sizes? A: Yes. Yongxin designs custom tooling and machine adjustments for non-standard can geometries. The PLC HMI recipe system stores multiple can format profiles, enabling rapid changeover between sizes. Custom dies, flanging wheels, and seaming chucks are manufactured in-house.
Q12: What payment terms does Yongxin accept? A: Standard terms are 30% advance payment with order, 60% before shipment (after successful FAT), and 10% after installation. Terms are negotiable for established customers or repeat orders. Shipping is FOB Shanghai/Ningbo, with CIF pricing available on request.

This timeline demonstrates that Yongxin’s yongxin can equipment portfolio was developed through iterative engineering cycles — each product generation informed by real-world feedback from domestic and international installations — rather than designed in isolation.
Equipment Integration & Workflow Architecture
A complete can production line integrates multiple process stations into a continuous workflow. Understanding how each station contributes to the finished can helps buyers evaluate whether a full turnkey line or modular standalone equipment better suits their operation.
10-Station Production Workflow
The standard can body making workflow proceeds through the following stations:
- Sheet Feeding — Tinplate/TFS/coated steel sheets loaded onto the automatic feeder
- Slitting — Sheets cut to body blank width using 8-blade rotary slitting head
- Body Forming / Welding — Blanks rounded (or square-formed) and side-seam welded via Cu-wire resistance welding (Ø1.35–1.7 mm, overlap 0.8–1.2 mm)
- Bumping — Weld seam flattened and smoothed through roller bumping
- Inside Stripe Touch-Up — Internal coating applied to the weld seam area for corrosion protection
- Oven Cure — Can bodies pass through a 200–210°C cure oven (40–55 second dwell) to set internal and external coatings
- Flanging — Internal-external dual-groove wheel flanging forms the flange at both can ends
- Beading — 2–4 reinforcing ribs (3–5 mm height) added per face for structural rigidity on larger cans
- Curling — Can end edges curled to prepare for lid seaming
- Seaming — 8-cam 8-roller synchronous seaming head applies five-layer double seam with can lid
Each station’s CPM must be matched to ensure smooth material flow. Yongxin engineers design the entire line to maintain synchronous throughput — a 30–35 CPM line means every station operates at 30–35 CPM, not that one bottleneck station dictates the pace.
The relationship between individual stations and full-line integration is explored in greater detail in the can making machine ultimate guide, which maps the hub-and-spoke architecture of all Yongxin product categories.
Packaging, Shipping & Logistics
International buyers need to understand the logistics chain from factory floor to their production facility:
Domestic Transport (Factory to Port)
Yongxin’s Jiujiang factory is located approximately 300 km from Shanghai Port and 450 km from Ningbo Port. Equipment is packed in export-standard wooden crates with VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) protection for metal surfaces and stretch wrap for painted components.
Shipping Options
| Method | Transit Time | Cost Range | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sea Freight (FCL 40ft) | 18–35 days depending on destination | USD 2,000–8,000 | Full production lines, large equipment orders |
| Sea Freight (LCL) | 25–45 days | USD 500–2,000 | Standalone machines, spare parts orders |
| Air Freight | 5–10 days | USD 5,000–15,000 | Urgent spare parts, small standalone machines |
Container Loading
- Small square can line (30–35 CPM): Fits in 1× 40ft container (2,700 kg, 11,750×1,500×2,400 mm — disassembled into transportable modules)
- Large square can line (25–32 CPM): Requires 1× 40ft flat rack + 1× 40ft standard (17,750 kg total, 15,000×1,600×2,700 mm footprint)
- Standalone machines: Generally 1–2 machines per 20ft container depending on dimensions
Production lines are disassembled into transportable modules for container loading and reassembled on-site during commissioning. All connection points are numbered and documented for straightforward reassembly.
Why Buyers Choose Yongxin Can Equipment
Based on patterns across international enquiries and orders, buyers typically cite the following factors when selecting Yongxin as their can equipment supplier:
Factory-direct pricing: Yongxin is the manufacturer — no trading company markup. Buyers deal directly with the engineering team from quotation through after-sales, eliminating intermediary costs and communication delays.
Proven export track record: Documented installations in Thailand, Vietnam, India, Saudi Arabia, and regional presence across 12+ countries demonstrate that Yongxin can equipment performs reliably outside the domestic market. The company holds MOFCOM import-export trade qualification and has handled customs documentation, vessel booking, and international logistics for over a decade.
Flexibility for small-to-medium manufacturers: Unlike European manufacturers whose minimum order values often exceed USD 5 million for DWI aluminium can lines, Yongxin serves the segment of manufacturers producing 1–25L specialty cans at 25–80 CPM. This segment — food cans, paint pails, lubricant buckets, chemical containers, gift tins — represents the majority of global metal can production by unit count, even though DWI aluminium cans dominate by volume.
21-year engineering continuity: The same core engineering team that developed the first large square can line in 2011 continues to refine and expand the product range. This institutional knowledge reduces the risk of design errors and ensures that each yongxin can equipment iteration benefits from accumulated field experience.
Patent-backed technology: With 86 patents and 6 software copyrights, Yongxin’s technology is protected and verifiable. The CN118025556B synchronous lid dispensing patent (2026) is one example of ongoing R&D investment that National High-Tech Enterprise certification requires.
