Canning lines require special round profile belt when printing the tin sheets where the friction must be low and prevent any scratching of the inner can surface or of the printed side. When lined up for filling, the same low friction surface is vital as the lines which are often hundreds of meters long, run under the stationary cans online and this accumulated load will break inferior profiles.
