Minster Container Presses
The Minster Machine Company has a long history of innovation and involvement in the development of presses for the can-making industry around the world.

Early work with the originators of the "easy-open" can end has resulted in Minster’s becoming the world’s foremost builder of presses for easy-open end conversion. This success is based on a design that meets the industry’s demand for high production speeds and extreme, consistent accuracy.

Since the mid 1960’s, Minster has been building presses for the production of two-piece sanitary food cans. During that time designs have been constantly improved and refined, and today, Minster has become the unquestioned leader in presses for draw-redraw can lines. Development of the Minster Double Action Cupping press in the early seventies marked Minster’s entry into the D&I can making area. In the decade following, the Double Action Cupping Press has become the industry’s first choice for producing cups in both D&I beer/beverage can lines and draw/redraw sanitary food can lines.

Minster is producing new high-output presses for the production of beer/beverage and sanitary food can ends with extreme precision to handle down-gauging for material savings. Minster’s can machinery knowledge is also finding very successful application in the production of high volume products having similar configuration to cans . . . such as automotive oil filter cans and battery cases.
