4. Forming
- Stretching: The cut blanks are put into stretching molds and stretched and formed by stretching machine to form the basic shape of the cover.
- Trimming: Remove the excess material produced during the stretching process and trim the edges.
5. Finishing
- Punching: Punch out the air-permeable holes or pull-ring holes on the lid.
- Flanging: Flanging the edges of the lid to form the position of the sealing ring.
- Turning: Turn the inner and outer surfaces of the cover to ensure dimensional accuracy.
6. Surface treatment
- Polishing: Polishing the surface of the lid to improve the appearance quality and corrosion resistance.
- Cleaning: clean the lid to remove oil and impurities.
- Passivation: Passivate the stainless steel lid to enhance its corrosion resistance.
7. Assembly
- Seal Installation: Install the seal of silicone or other materials to the flap position of the lid.
- Functional Component Assembly: If required, install components such as pull ring, safety catch, etc.
8. Inspection
- Dimensional Inspection: Ensure that the dimensions of the lid meet the design requirements.
- Sealing test: Test whether the sealing performance of the lid is up to standard.
- Appearance Inspection: Check whether there are scratches, stains and other defects on the surface of the lid.
9. Packaging
