Roeslein™ Ultraviolet Bottom Coating (UVBC) is a mass bottom coating and ultraviolet curing system used in the D & I can manufacturing process. The UVBC system applies a more wear-resistant coating, that provides superior protection to the bottom rim surface, resulting in the reduction of aluminum oxide formation, optimizing transfer to can conveyers, transfer plates and machine infeeds. Conventional bottom coatings are typically applied after Base coating or Decorating with a thermal cured process in a single lane bottom coater. Roeslein™'s standard 36 inch wide unit will process up to 4400 cans per minute

Typically, D & I can manufacturers install the UV Bottom Coating System immediately after the washer in a dome-down orientation. One of the key differences between Thermal-cured and UV cured bottom coating materials is a thicker, more uniform coverage.
