Perform quick, easy and safe changeovers of your coating wheels

Beverage canning is a massive industry. Humans across the globe utilize roughly 400 billion cans per year for their beverage consumption and that number continues to increase year after year.

To meet needs, requirements and increasing production of the beverage can industry, Hannecard developed HandyCoat®, a revolutionary coating system for beverage cans. This unique HandyCoat® system provides an extremely quick and efficient way to apply coatings to aluminum beverage cans, providing significant time and cost savings.

HandyCoat®

The patented beverage coating system

Developed as a sound and flexible alternative for current coating systems within the beverage canning industry, HandyCoat® is the umbrella term for Hannecard’s innovative and patented solution for base and overvarnish coaters. Changeovers for standard coating systems are often characterized as extremely labor-intensive. The HandyCoat® system changes this by separating the coater covering from the coater core.

The HandyCoat® solution features the HandyBase coater core and the Monkal® polyurethane HandySleeve® coated coverings, which have been developed exclusively for paint and varnish applications.
