The Stolle Rutherford Decorator and Basecoater bring new levels of can decorating quality, speed and efficiency to makers of 2-piece decorated cans. Both machines are expertly engineered and ruggedly built to deliver the superior performance can makers have associated with the Rutherford name for nearly 60 years. The Stolle Rutherford Decorator applies up to eight colors - plus varnish - at an amazing 2200 cans per minute. The dual head Stolle Rutherford Basecoater applies a perfectly opaque layer of ink at a superior 1800 cans per minute. Both machines feature extremely fast can size changeover capability, easy access to components for ease of maintenance, and microprocessor-based programmable controls for total operational flexibility. Special versions of both the Rutherford Decorator and Basecoater are available for printing aerosol and tall cans up to 10.5”H at speeds up to 1500 CPM.
