Abstract: A base coat applicator utlizing an in-feed chute which provides supply of cans which are mounted on mandrels for application of base coat material by applicator wheels (26, 30). The mandrels are rotated so that surface speed of the cans matches the applicator wheel speed to prevent smearing. Independent control of the inventory production speed of the base coat applicator machine and the applicator wheels allows any desired number of base coat layers to be applied to the cans. Two applicator wheels are used to reduce surface speeds to prevent misting and slinging of base coat material from the applicator wheels and can surfaces. The applicator assembly (15) is automatically withdrawn when the supply of cans is not present and can be manually withdrawn by the operator to prevent application of base coat material to cans or empty mandrels. Disk transfer unit (92) is utilized to transfer the coated cans to deco pin chain.
