The aerosol can has just got a whole lot better. Lanico has developed the first tinplate monobloc design aerosol cans with inner seaming. This aids your cans' shelf presence by eliminating any interruption to the design and branding features on the cans you put on shelf. But its advantages don't stop with the inner seaming.

SteeloCare has a number of other next gen attributes: 

The new tinplate can is very stable and reaches the 18 bar classification and burst pressures of more than 25 bar without difficulty.

It is 100% recyclable and does not need any lubricants. Extensive cleaning is no longer required.

It provides excellent printing quality and surface feel. 

The new cans were developed in a technology alliance with packaging steel producer, ThyssenKrupp Rasselstein, and the press manufacturer Schuler Pressen. By collaborating, the trio were able to engineer a complete can making solution that permits standardisation of semi-finished parts – a big step forward compared to the classic three piece aerosol can for which every can maker currently employs its own measurements. Standardisation generates significant cost advantages.  

Lanico is nearing its centenary as a leading supplier of necking, flanging and seaming machines as well as complete production lines, maintaining a leadership position in its industry by producing innovative packaging machines for cans and can making. 

Michael Kaufmann, Lanico technical director, described Lanico’s newest innovation, “While developing this can, we optimised all successive and interrelated processes together with ThyssenKrupp Rasselstein and Schuler. Machine employment and tool use have been minimised and corrosion stability is extremely high. Thanks to the steel material developed by ThyssenKrupp Rasselstein, the can bodies by Schuler and the LANICO inner fold application our customers receive an optimum system with guaranteed functionality and performance.“
