CDL500 Curling and Lining Machine
The CDL500 integrates the processes of curling and compound lining in a double-lane configuration, based on the concept of the CSL250 but designed to operate simultaneously on two lanes within a single machine.
Engineered to significantly increase production capacity without proportionally expanding floor space, the CDL500 combines high precision, speed, and reliability in a unified system.
The process begins with a feeding system composed of three knives positioner per lane, ensuring proper flatness and correct presentation of the end before entering the curling station.

Automatic Cleaning System
The CDL500 incorporates the same automatic cleaning system in each lining head.
The system consists of:
- Cleaning brush
- Purge station
- Water tank with automatic pumping system
At configurable intervals via the touchscreen:
- The head automatically moves to the cleaning station.
- The nozzle passes through the brush.
- Compound purging is performed inside the injector.
- The nozzle passes through the brush again before returning to the working position.
During production stops:
- The nozzle is positioned inside the water tank to prevent air ingress.
- This avoids compound drying inside the injector.
- Before restarting production, the full brush → purge → brush cycle is automatically executed.
This system ensures operational continuity, process stability, and reduced manual intervention.
Curling Station
-
Each lane incorporates a fully servo-controlled curling module.
The curl forming process is performed by a die set driven by two independent servo motors per lane:
- One acting on the upper tooling
- One acting on the lower tooling
This dual-servo configuration reduces cycle time by approximately half compared to traditional single-actuation systems, where only the lower tool moves through a longer stroke.
Servo-controlled operation provides:
- High precision during die impact
- Fine adjustment of curl height via the touchscreen interface
- Repeatability and stability in continuous production
End presence detection prevents die collision when no end is present, reducing:
- Operating noise
- Premature tooling wear
- Maintenance requirements
During the curling process, ends are transported by four lateral fingers per lane, driven by two high-precision endless side belts, ensuring stable positioning and accurate handling.
Lining Station
After curling, each end moves to its corresponding lining station.
In this phase, the end is transported by a central high-precision endless belt per lane, held by push fingers for stable movement.
Compound application is performed by the Spider Head Liner heads (one per lane), ensuring:
- Constant linear speed
- Constant pressure
- Uniform and stable compound distribution
The injector follows the movement of each end during application, completing the lining process in a single cycle.
The estimated production capacity is up to 500 ends per minute (depending on format and configuration), distributed across both lanes.
