DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Belvac, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), and a leading global supplier in the two-piece metal packaging industry for over 60 years, today announced the latest development in can necking technology, the Servo Belvac Necker.

"The Servo Belvac Necker marks a new generation of energy-efficient machinery for the two-piece aluminum packaging industry. With the growing industry demand for sustainable technology, the Servo Belvac Necker has been engineered to maximize the profitability of can plant operations," said Eric Hodge, Director of Global Sales Operations at Belvac.

The Servo Belvac Necker can continuously operate up to 3600 cans per minute while utilizing advanced servo motor control, allowing for every turret to independently rotate.
