Beer tank lid & base
Duotank was looking for a supplier who could offer an alternative for the production of beer tanks in small series. The request involved the lid and the base. By placing multiple dimensions (600mm and 700mm diameter) in a single press, fewer tools are needed, and two products can be produced at the same time with one press step. Using 1 die, we can press all the required dimensions and versions. In addition, we can produce small series and different materials in the range required by the customer. And the icing on the cake: no drag marks (damage) because we use the rubber pad forming process.
The requirement
We are looking for a supplier who could offer an alternative for the production of beer tanks in small series. The request involves the lid and the base. An oval shape needs to be applied to the lid, which provides access to the tank. We need both the base and the lid in different dimensions and materials, such as stainless steel and copper.
Our advice
By placing multiple dimensions (600mm and 700mm diameter) in a single press, fewer tools are needed, and two products can be produced at the same time with one press step. Use an insert for each ‘cavity’ in the press. In this way, both the base and the lid (oval manhole) can be produced for each cavity.
The competitive advantage
Fewer tools and low tooling costs. Using 1 die, we can press all the required dimensions and versions. In addition, we can produce small series and different materials in the range required by the customer. And the icing on the cake: no drag marks (damage) because we use the rubber pad forming process.
