CONCORD 8 COLOR 24 MANDREL DECORATOR

CONCORD 8 COLOR 36 MANDREL DECORATOR

　　The Stolle Concord Decorator and Basecoater are the industry leaders in high quality decoration of two-piece cans. Both machines feature a simple, robust design for reliable, low cost operation, reduced maintenance and rapid can size changeover. They are available in several configurations to meet most can decorating needs, including 24 and 36-mandrel models. Concords feature Stolle’s innovative Rotary Trip mandrels that increase production speeds up to 2200 CPM* while improving printing/coating quality. The unique single trip mandrel design reduces spoilage by allowing only the defective can to be ejected rather than 4 or 5, without interrupting production. All Concord components are easily accessible for faster setup and maintenance, and auto lube systems are available to further reduce maintenance time.
