The Minster Machine Company has a long history of innovation and

involvement in the development of presses for the can-making industry

round the world.

Early work with the originators of the “easy-open”

can end has resulted in Minster’s becoming the world’s foremost

builder of presses for easy-open end conversion. This success is based

on a design that meets the industry’s demand for high production

speeds and extreme, consistent accuracy. Minster presses have been

used with several sophisticated end conversion tooling systems and are

currently in operation in approximately 70 countries around the world.

Minster continues to develop new designs and improved

manufacturing techniques for end conversion presses.

Since the mid 1960’s, Minster has been building presses for the

production of two-piece sanitary food cans and easy open ends.

During that time designs have been constantly improved and reﬁned,

and today, Minster has become the unquestioned leader in presses for

production of shells, easy open ends, cups and redrawn cans.

Development of the Minster Double Action

Cupping press in the early seventies marked

Minster’s entry into the D&I can making area.

In the decade following, the Double Action

Cupping Press has become the industry’s

ﬁrst choice for producing cups in both D&I

beer/ beverage can lines and draw/redraw

sanitary food can lines. Its prominence grew

based on its high-torque, high energy drive

and the mass, rigidity and precision needed

for the production of drawn cups with

uniform wall thickness.

In its tradition of combining experience and

innovation, Minster is introducing new high-

output presses for producing beer/beverage

and sanitary food can ends with extreme

precision to handle down-gauging for

material savings.

Minster’s can machinery knowledge is also

ﬁnding very successful application in the

production of high volume products having

similar conﬁguration to cans . . . such as

automotive oil ﬁlter cans and battery cases.

If you want to produce high volume

products, with speed and precision, put

Minster’s can machinery experience to work

for you!
