CMB Engineering, a provider of can-making machinery, has announced the expansion of its new Academy of Canmaking and Seaming. The Academy was initially launched with a workshop area where practical lessons could be conducted with some of the most popular machines on the shop floor, such as the CMB5000 Bodymaker and CMB550 Trimmer (CMB 5500 Canmaker).
With the recent completion of the Academy’s second development phase, the facility now features three separate classrooms, where theory lessons will also take place.
“We are very excited with the success the Academy has had since it first launched, and we now look forward to providing more of our customers with enhanced training, supported by our additional facility and resources,” said academy training officer Steve Williams. “Our customers will benefit from a training-friendly environment for both practical and theoretical lessons.
“We’re confident that with the additional resources, our training will be even more effective and valuable to the engineers who attend.”
The first customer to take courses at the Academy of Canmaking and Seaming was Carlsberg, who signed up four of its engineers for a Seamer training course earlier this month. This course was taught on the Ferrum ‘F’ Series and included Seam Evaluation as well as Seamer Gold Plan setting.
“It was great to have the opportunity to be trained by our supplier partner at their headquarters,” said Jonathan Woolhead, can-making engineer at Carlsberg. “The Academy really served its purpose as a stress-free and safe environment to train in, and the course was very useful to help reinforce our can-making skills and knowledge.”
