To remove excess coating material which tends to form a bead around the lower most edge of a can, a bath of coating material solvent is disposed adjacent to the transfer conveyor and has within it an endless belt conveyor to which cans on the overhead conveyor are caused to fall and from which those cans are subsequently returned to the overhead conveyor. The upper, can carrying course of the endless belt conveyor is disposed at a predetermined depth below the surface of solvent within the cans so that excess material accumulating on the lower portions of the cans in the coating region is removed prior to entry of the cans into the drying oven. | |
