ANC Rexam Megyesi Cylinder and Shaft

Now Offering an “Old Timer” Cylinder and Shaft Assembly

Not necessarily a high demand item but one that fills an essential void. Many “Old Timers” in the two-piece can industry who have been around decorators at multiple locations may have run across an old Ragsdale decorator. In the late 1990’s, American National Can adopted a tapered shaft/cylinder combination that was the first of its kind. After Rexam purchased ANC at the beginning of the new millennium, some of the 22 US-based and 13 Europe-based plants continued using the ANC/Rexam tapered shaft and cylinder design. Bunting believes that if a market continues to exist for a decorator cylinder then Bunting is going to offer it, only better. Better machining, better tolerances, and better deliveries … all backed with better service.

• No movement on the shaft itself, which has an integrated taper means less shaft wear.

• Originally designed for the Ragsdale style decorator.
