Team 02: Robotic Automation of Cleaning Production Equipment
Above: Devices for automation of cleaning aluminum beverage can production equipment.
During the production of aluminum beverage cans, the interior surface is sprayed with a liquid coating that forms a barrier between the metal and the drink. Over time, this coating accumulates on the spray nozzle tip, compromising coating quality and increasing production costs due to manual removal. We have created an automated solution to efficiently and effectively clean coating buildup.
