Scleros has been internationally recognized for over 70 years for its expertise in designing and manufacturing high-precision Tungsten Carbide tools. What many may not know is that its know-how also extends to the packaging and closure systems sector, offering dedicated solutions for the food industry.
Durable and Precise Solutions for Food Packaging
In the field of cold forming and stamping of caps, food cans, aerosol containers, and industrial packaging, Scleros offers Tungsten Carbide components specifically developed to ensure wear resistance, dimensional accuracy, and optimal surface finish. The company’s technical solutions meet the high-performance and durability requirements of the food and canning industries.
Key products include:
- Movable and integral dies for blanking and forming operations
- Tungsten Carbide inserts and rings
- Sleeves for flip tablets
- Rollers and knurls
Each component is manufactured with extremely tight tolerances (up to ±2 μm), superior surface finishes (Ra < 0.2 µm), and materials selected for hardness (HV > 1800) and compressive strength.
Integrated Technology and Tailored Technical Support
Thanks to the synergy with the HI.Lab laboratory of the OMCD Group, Scleros can thoroughly analyze material properties and simulate complex processes. The lab performs microhardness testing, metallographic analysis, and FEM simulations, enabling optimization at every stage of the production cycle. This approach allows Scleros to design custom tools for high-speed production lines, improving efficiency and tool life.
Scleros‘ expertise in the food sector includes twist-off caps, easy-open closures, and components for decorated containers, with highly customized solutions developed in close collaboration with clients.
Strong Identity, Future-Oriented Vision
Scleros continues to evolve, combining the experience of family ownership with the precision and reliability of Made in Italy manufacturing. Ongoing investments in production technology and specialized skills support solid and sustainable growth, positioning the company as a key partner for those seeking durable, high-performance, and customized solutions in the metal packaging industry.
