Steel Drum Welding Machine FAQ: Utilities, Materials and Parts Planning

The machine is intended for galvanized sheet, tinplate, stainless steel, and base iron cold plate. Its supported board thickness is 0.2 to 1 mm. This makes it suitable for two-piece metal cans and barrels made from thin metal sheet, including paint buckets, chemical barrels, military barrels, and other listed applications.

Before ordering, send the actual sheet material and thickness used in your drum body. Material choice affects the production setup, and the machine should be matched to the workpiece your line will run.

The welding diameter range is 70 to 600 mm, and the welding length range is 100 to 1,800 mm. Both dimensions can be customized according to customer requirements. The machine is intended for welding the body of metal steel drums with manual feeding.

For a 20-liter or 60-liter drum project, provide the body diameter and seam length for the intended drum design. These figures allow the machine configuration to be checked against the workpiece before production planning.

The machine uses three-phase 380 V at 50 Hz and has a rated input capacity of 25 KVA. It requires compressed air at 0.5 MPa, with compressed air consumption of 250 L/min. Cooling water flow is 20 L/min.

The equipment measures 2,000 × 1,200 × 1,800 mm and weighs approximately 1,000 kg. Plan the installation area around these dimensions and weight, then confirm your electrical, compressed-air, and cooling-water connections before shipment and setup.

The machine can perform continuous seam welding, pulse seam welding, and intermittent seam welding. The suitable mode depends on the drum body design and the required welding process. Discuss the workpiece and desired seam method when specifying the machine.

The machine uses copper wire with a diameter of 1.65 to 2 mm as the middle electrode. The copper wire is part of the welding setup for the supported sheet materials, including galvanized sheet.

The listed control and drive components include a Delta PLC, Yadeke pneumatic components, a Taiwan Yongkun main reduction motor, a Schneider intermediate relay, a Delta inverter, and a Siemens motor. Use these component details when preparing an equipment integration and spare-parts discussion with the supplier. Confirm the required part quantities and replacement specifications for the exact machine configuration before placing an order.

Send the drum body drawing or sample, material type, sheet thickness, body diameter, seam length, target welding mode, and 380 V/50 Hz, compressed-air, and cooling-water connection details. Also include the planned production quantity so the 3 to 4 pieces-per-minute production speed can be considered alongside the product design.
