Product FinderThe objective of a can seamer is to create an airtight—or hermetic—seal between the can body and the can end (or lid) to create a secure, leak-proof closure in order to preserve the product and extend its shelf life. This process is referred to as double seaming, first pioneered and patented by the Angelus Can Machine Company more than a century ago.
In the process of double seaming, a metal-to-metal or metal-to-composit joint is formed by interlocking five layers: three from the can end and two from the can body. These layers are compressed and tightly ironed to form the hermetic seal.
While Angelus, Continental and Hema Can Seamers are designed to fulfill different product needs, they share BW Packaging's commitment to ease of use, maintenance and repairs; delivery of safe, hygienic seals; fast changeovers, and reliable machinery designed for decades of service.
ANGELUS seamers span two product lines: Angelus Legacy seamers and Angelus V-Series seamers. The Angelus Legacy line is known for its trusted performance and long-term reliability, with many machines installed more than 60 years ago still in active production in the field. The V-Series line builds upon this strong foundation, retaining all of the rugged design and dependability, while adding innovations to enhance ease of maintenance, lower the cost of ownership, and deliver patented innovations for lightweight can handling.
V-Series seamers contain 25% fewer components than Angelus Legacy machines and employ an 80% parts commonality across the family. In addition, the metric base-driven design is built with the ideal pitch match to pair with today's modern fillers, and the 304 stainless steel used in all product contact areas ensures a clean, sanitary design that is foam and chemical cleaning-compatible. This series can be used for atmospheric, under cover gassing, steam vacuum, and liquid Nitrogen dosing applications.
The CONTINENTAL can seamer is designed for quick changeover times for both body and lid, and is simple to run and maintain. It is a grease-lubricated seamer, delivers superior seam quality, and offers industry-leading longevity for reliable operation.
The HEMA CANSM delivers reliable performance, standardized machine design, robust ease of operation, and the option for turnkey line configuration.
