Introduction

Eurocan was established in 1993 as a UK based supplier of machinery to the worldwide can making and canning industry. We are the UK's premier used equipment company, specialising in machinery of European manufacture and with a particular emphasis on compound lining and can closing technology. Our self manufactured EF electronic compound guns are employed at over thirty end making plants in Europe, and offer unparalleled accuracy and efficiency for the application of solvent based, water based and plastisol compounds to can ends, caps and closures. Our engineers have many years experience in servicing, maintaining, rebuilding and converting seamers for the food industry. We maintain a large inventory of new and used parts for Metal Box seamers, as well as an extensive stock of machines at our storage facility 35 miles from Birmingham airport. The successful formula has been simple: to offer expert knowledge, a superior product and the highest standards of customer service.

Fully Equipped Machine Shop

Our machine shop is a modern and comprehensive facility for manufacturing or replicating machine components, from a part designed by Continental Can in the 1950's to a vacuum hardened stainless steel seaming chuck with chemically applied Titanium Nitride coating.

Used Can Machinery

Whether buying or selling, we are the solution provider. Our stock changes frequently and can be viewed at our storage facility near Birmingham airport. Whenever possible we also arrange for equipment to be viewed prior to decommissioning. We have a large database of machinery available directly from plants in the UK, Europe and further afield. We welcome the opportunity to inspect and audit your surplus machinery, and to provide valuations for preparing future capital expenditure programs or immediate clearance.

Safety Guarding & Electrics

A common issue with used machinery is the conformity and compatibility of the safety guarding and electrical controls. We have a wealth of experience in designing and manufacturing new guards and control panels in accordance with European standards, with a CE Mark and Declaration of Conformity.

Machinery Removals

Our engineers will decommission, dismantle, remove and transport your redundant machinery to our warehouse for storage and resale. In many instances no charge is made until the equipment is sold.

Freight Services

It takes specialist knowledge to pack and transport large machinery safely around the world. We provide a complete service including export crating, container loading and bracing, road, sea or air freight, and all necessary export and import documentation. From a single machine part, to a complete production line, we have the experience.

Seamer Rebuilds & Conversions

We have rebuilt and converted seaming machines for many applications at our workshop in the UK, and in Cape Town, South Africa. Whether your requirement is for a metal can and end, paper board or PET container, in an atmospheric, steam flow, vacuum or nitrogen environment, we can engineer the solution you require.

Parts and Service

We maintain a large inventory of new and used change parts, tooling and spare parts for Metal Box seamers and can closing machines. All items are catalogued by part number and description from the original machine manuals. Our engineers will service and repair your seaming machines, as well as instructing your staff in their use and double seam technology.

1A Can Closing Machine

This single head machine replicates the rotating can seaming process of fully automatic multi-head seamers, and has proved very popular for low speed semi-automatic production and laboratory work. Produced for many years by The Metal Box Company, we re-launched this model thanks to its continuing popularity, and the scarcity of used machines.

EF Electronic Compound Guns

The unique dual electro-magnetic function of our EF electronic compound guns and controllers has been judged superior to any other application system by can and closure manufacturers throughout the world. Universally adaptable for any single, dual or rotary lining machine, we offer a complete turnkey retrofit package with on-site installation, commissioning and training assistance if required.

Commercial Solutions

Our commercial team have created a whole package of options for you to consider, including part exchanges, short term rentals, long term leases, financing and outright purchases. We deal in sterling, dollars or Euro and accept payment by cheque, bank transfer or documentary credit.
