-he can is loaded on to a liter and theaxial mo"ement o the liter presses theopen edge into the outer tool%

-he upper rim o the can is bent in(ardsand the diameter c$lindricall$ reduced

-he liter is then (ithdra(n! the can ispushed out o the tool using compressedair and con"e$ed to the next station%

A total o /+ stations are required in orderto obtain the required fnal diameter%

-he can is again loaded on to a liter and presseaxiall$ on to a Janging head%

-he open end o the can is bent out(ards b$ therotation o the three rollers o the Janging head

the Jange is ormed according to the geometr$ nec roller%
