A device and a method for producing resin-coated cans that make it possible to uniformly cut resin coating when resin-coated cans are trimmed after being pressed. A device for producing resin-coated cans includes a press machine, a trimmer, a chute connecting the trimmer to the press machine, and a cooling device configured to cool at least, of resin-coated cans passing through the chute, portions to be trimmed by the trimmer. A method for producing resin-coated cans, in which the resin-coated cans are conveyed to a trimmer by a chute after being processed by a press machine, includes cooling at least, of the resin-coated cans passing through the chute, portions to be trimmed by the trimmer.

A ram support assembly for use in a can bodymaker includes a yolk body for coupling with an end of a ram body of a ram extending from a first side of the yolk body. The yolk body is configured to be coupled to, and be driven by, an operating mechanism of the can bodymaker that is coupled to a second side of the yolk body opposite the first side via a connection arrangement. The ram support assembly also includes a slide arrangement coupled to the yolk body and configured to be coupled to a frame of the can bodymaker such that the yolk body can move linearly with respect to the frame. The slide arrangement includes: a number of rails, and a number of carriage members, wherein each rail of the number of rails has at least one carriage member of the number of carriage members slidingly engaged therewith.
