随着制罐行业转向使用不产生VOC的化合物和涂料，需要一种新的干燥技术来干燥和固化这些密封剂。20世纪40年代，当该行业不再使用水基化合物时，该领域的创新停止了，而且才刚刚开始。本文讨论了可用于水基接缝化合物的新型干燥器、可催化燃烧最流行的溶剂基化合物排放的VOCS的干燥器、罐端的感应干燥和加热，以及易开口端修复涂层工艺所需的新型干燥器。

AS THE CAN-MAKING INDUSTRY MOVES TOWARD THE USE OF NON-VOC PRODUCING COMPOUNDS AND COATINGS, A NEW DRYING TECHNOLOGY IS REQUIRED FOR DRYING AND CURING OF THESE SEALANTS. INNOVATION IN THIS AREA STOPPED WHEN THE INDUSTRY MOVED AWAY FROM WATER-BASED COMPOUNDS IN THE 1940S, AND IS JUST BEGINNING AGAIN. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES NEW DRYERS AVAILABLE FOR WATER-BASED SEAMING COMPOUNDS, DRYERS WHICH CAN CATALYTICALLY BURN THE VOCS EMITTED FROM THE MOST POPULAR SOLVENT-BASED COMPOUNDS, INDUCTION DRYING AND HEATING OF CAN ENDS, AND NEW DRYERS REQUIRED FOR THE REPAIR COATING PROCESS ON EASY OPEN ENDS.
