4 Entire production plants Merco Machines designs entire production plants according to the customers specific requirements, with respect to layout, functionality, desired output and integration into existing production facilities. As shown on the architecture below, a body expander, a flanger/curler, a bead expander, a combined W-beader/ corrugator and a shuttle conveyor are integrated into a single frame appliance. Note that the generalised use of frequency controllers and the latest servo drive systems has distinctive advantages over implementing hydraulic based actuators: they allow faster production rates -up to 900 drums Drum Reconditioning Equipment per hour-, are lighter and result in less load on the drive systems. Furthermore, they generate less heat and are more energy efficient, reliable, easier to control allowing the use of virtual axes and require less maintenance, thus improving efficiency and reducing downtime. Smooth movements are generated by electronic cams and advanced positioning controls, drastically reducing shocks, vibration, wear and noise. Higher speeds and increased productivity can be obtained easily, thanks to a perfect and stable synchronisation between movements. Settings for a wide variety of product variants are saved inside modern touchscreen control panels, allowing automatic tool exchange and adjustments for fast and save changeover. Merco Machines can equip your company with stateof-the-art machines for tight head and open head steel reconditioning. This includes chimers, curlers, inside and outside washing equipment, dedenters, flangers, full length body expanders, body rollers, drum openers, pre-beaders, beaders,... Also, a wide range of inside and outside painting machines, coating equipment, leakage testers and silk screen printing for steel drum reconditioning applications is available.
