Catalytic Converter Assembly Systems

Adaptive canning has become a watchword in the automotive industry as OEMs require increasingly complex catalytic converters to comply with the emission control regulations in different markets. Jendamark has developed a range of flexible, automated assembly solutions to help customers keep pace with the changing demands.

Canning Lines

Standard Canning Modules

Jendamark’s range of standard canning modules can be configured in various ways on a production line to create a customised canning solution that meets the customer’s exact specifications.

Jendamark’s standardised canning machines can easily be arranged to form manual, semi-auto or fully automated canning lines. Whether the process is GBD or non-GBD controlled, post sizing (soft stuff) or pre-sizing (hard stuff), Jendamark has a solution. Our machines are proven in industry and cater for both passenger and commercial vehicle ranges.

Economy Canning Modules

For customers seeking a simplified, cost-effective canning solution, Jendamark’s Econo line delivers a general option where less flexibility is required. Multiple modules are combined in a standard configuration and mounted on a single base plate.

Machine offerings in this range include the Econo Shrinker and the new Econo Measuring Machine.
