To simplify the production of cans (3, 103, 103'), especially aerosol cans, the can production plants are fitted with magnetic conveyors (6, 8) associated with magnetisable pallets (7, 107, 107') instead of chain conveyors with pins. The cans are secured on the magnetisable pallets (7, 107, 107') and taken by magnetic belt conveyors (6, 8) to or through processing stations. The pallets (7, 107, 107') are secured by a riveting process to a connecting piece (132) projecting from the can base (130) and guidable through a connection aperture (117) in the pallet (7,107, 107'). The cans (3, 103, 103') may be given any direction on the magnetically secured pallets (7, 107, 107') by the suitable arrangement of the conveyor surfaces (8) on the magnetic conveyor (6, 8). The can aperture is always freely accessible during conveying. There are belt conveyors with back-up regions (46) to compensate feed variations in the plant by simple means. |
