What is a Can Seamer Sealing Machine?
A can sealing machine is also known as a can seaming/closing or a can sealer/seamer/closer machine. It is used to hermetically seal the lid to the body of paper cans, aluminum cans, tin cans, PET cans, glass cans, plastic cans, pots, jars, and others. The can lid is usually made of tin-plated steel while the can’s body can be:
Can seamers could be assembled on an automatic packaging line or used alone. They are very common in the food industries and other product varieties.
Can Seamer / Closer Machine Classification
The mechanical composition and design of can seamers vary depending on the type and number of cans (usually steel or aluminum) being sealed per unit time. They can either have automatic or semi-automatic and contact or non-contact (with respect to the can being sealed) operation.
Automatic Can Sealers
Automatic can sealing machines are fully automated and does not need any human interaction during the sealing process.
Semi-Automatic Can Seamers
Semi-automatic can sealer/sealing machines, on the other hand, require some manual help for the operation.
Contact Can Sealing Operation
Can sealers that do double seaming (such as nitrogen gas flushing vacuum seamers) come into contact with the can. Double seaming is the process of connecting the can’s lid to its body.
Non-Contact Can Sealing Operation
Contrastingly, induction cap sealers do not come into contact with the cans. This is because induction sealing only uses heat to bond an aluminum foil to the can to seal the can’s opening.
Can Sealer Parts and Function
Can seamer machine have the following major components:
#1 Seamer Chuck/Head
The seamer head holds the can’s top or lid tightly and serves as a support material from the rollers’ pressure. The dimensions of the chuck depend on the diameter of the round can/tin can/jar being sealed. An appropriate chuck should be installed for different can diameters.
#2 Seamer Turntable (Base Plate)
The spring-loaded seamer turntable is a disc that spins freely and gives support to the body of the can being sealed.
#3 Seaming Rollers
Can sealing machines normally have one set of seaming rollers but some can seamer machines used for high volume production have more. The first roller interconnects the can’s lid to its body while the second one tightens the seam and irons it out.
#4 Sealing Chamber
The sealing chamber is where the sealing process of the can takes place.
#5 Vacuum Room
Vacuum can sealing machines have a vacuum room where the oxygen is removed from the can under vacuum pressure.
How Can Sealing Machines Work
Can Sealing Machine Designs
Can sealing machines work depending on the sealing machine design – rotary or non-rotary.
Rotary Machine Design
In rotary seamers, the can spins while the seamer does the sealing process. Automatic can seamers typically have rotary machine designs and are usually used in big operations in industries. LPE’s Fully Auto Nitrogen Filling Vacuum Sealing Machines and High Volume Fully Auto Round Can Sealing Machines have rotary machine designs.
Non-Rotary Machine Design
Non-rotary seamers keep the can stationary and only the seamer spins. This avoids damages to the can being sealed especially to the product inside it. These are ideal for products that contain any kind of liquid to prevent spilling. Semi-automatic seamers have normally non-rotary machine designs and are meant for the home market. LPE’s Semi-Auto Vacuum And Gas Nitrogen Flushing Round Can Sealing Machine, Semi-Auto Can Seamer, and Servo Fixed Speed Sealing Machine have non-rotary machine designs.
The Can Sealing Process
When you buy a can body, the flange in it is noticeable and its end has a curl. Once the can goes in the seamer, the can is lifted up and the lid is attached to the can’s top by the seaming chuck. The can enters the seamer either through a conveyor if it is automatic or by manually putting it on the sealing chamber if its semi-automatic.
After the can is lifted up, it undergoes three operation stages in the can sealing process: compression, first roller operation stage, and second roller operation stage.
Stage 1
Compression
The compression stage provides the force necessary to hold the can being sealed against the seamer chuck. It feeds the can body flange towards the first roller. The chuck holds and keeps the lid to be attached to the can in place while the seamer turntable moves the can upwards against the chuck.
For vacuum can sealing machines, the oxygen inside the can is removed (vacuumed) first and then nitrogen gas is flushed into it before the sealing process is resumed. After which the lid is placed into the top of the can.
Next, the can with the lid undergoes the folding process known as double seaming. The seam is made by interlocking the lid’s “curl” (outside end of the lid) with the “flange” (the can body’s top part). This is accomplished in two roller operation stages.
Stage 2
First Roller Operation
The first roller operation stage is the most critical one as it affects the seam’s integrity. A successful first roller operation stage ensures that tightness issues (or wrinkles) and leaks are avoided. In this stage, the first seamer roller comes in to fold the lid’s curl towards the can’s flange. The first roller stage must not be too tight or too loose as this cannot be corrected later.
First, the lid’s curl (which is wider than the can’s flange) is pushed by the first roller and turns around first. Next, the can’s flange follows while the roller advances closer to the chuck. Lastly, the lid interlocks with the body of the can but is not sealed hermetically yet.
Stage 3
Second Roller Operation
After the first roller operation stage, the lid and the can body are now loosely held in place and “hooks” is formed. The hooks’ parameters are considered and monitored in checking the seam’s integrity under various conditions.
In the second roller operation stage, the loose seam is ironed out by a second roller to ensure that the sealing is made tight. It compresses the interlocked hooks of the lid and the flange of the can body. Then a sealing substance is squeezed into the remaining open spaces which completes the hermetic seal. The sealing substance ensures that the product inside the can is protected from leaks and contaminants by guaranteeing a tight seam seal. You can also learn how aluminum cans are sealed in this guide with a video.
The double seam’s shape is dependent on the first and second rollers’ shape along with:
The rollers’ relative distances and positions
Lifter height
Lifter pressure
How Induction Sealing Machines Work
Another type of can sealing machines is induction seamers that are used to seal containers, jars, or cans having screw caps and aluminum foil inside. The induction sealing process is done after the containers are filled and capped.
The induction sealing machine’s head contains a coiled conductor and generates an electromagnetic current when a power supply energizes it. The capped containers pass under this electromagnetic current through a conveyor. The inner seal’s foil produces electrical resistance which heats the foil and in turn dissolves the inner seal’s polymer coating.
The heat from the foil along with the cap pressure makes the inner seal bond with the container’s lip resulting in a hermetic seal. Our Aluminum Foil Induction Sealing Machine for Screw Cap works the same way.
