Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed herein is a system for use in can manufacturing wherein cans are washed, decorated and/or a coating has been sprayed onto an inside surface of cans comprises a first station including a first array of semiconductor-based narrowband irradiation devices positioned to irradiate and dry the cans through a mesh or open-spaced belt of a mass conveyor or a serial conveyor, a second station including a second array of semiconductor-based narrowband irradiation devices positioned to irradiate and cure ink applied to outsides of cans being transported on a conveyor, and a third station including a third array of semiconductor-based narrowband irradiation devices positioned to individually and electrically heat inside surfaces of each can moved into a curing zone using optical elements positioned outside the open end of the can.
