Abstract
The application discloses a can body trimmer which may be a free standing unit usable along with existing can body making machines, or which may be combined with a can body making machine as an integral part thereof. The apparatus trims the excess metal from the open end of a can body without leaving burrs, at a high rate of speed, and provides a can body trimmed to a precise side wall length for subsequent finishing operations including flanging, or necking and flanging to facilitate installation of the end closing lid after the can has been filled.
