Used Can Seamers in California, USA

Overview

Can seamers create airtight seals on metal cans for beverages, food, and industrial products. They range from simple single-head tabletop units to high-speed rotary machines and are sized by can diameter, height and throughput. When buying used, focus on seaming head condition, tooling availability, changeover ease, and sanitary design for food-grade work. Verify electrical specs, PLC controls and documented run time to match your line requirements.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used can seamer?

Inspect seaming heads, rollers, chucks and tooling for wear. Ask for seam cross-section photos, maintenance records, electrical specs, and a live run test if possible.

How should a can seamer be prepared and shipped?

Secure and crate rotating parts, lock moving components, drain fluids, and tag electrical connections. Use a carrier experienced with packaging lines and get lift points and weight specs.

What routine maintenance does a can seamer need?

Daily checks for lubrication, roller wear, and seam quality. Periodic replacement of seaming rollers, chucks, and gaskets; routine alignment and seam cross-section verification.

How do I ensure spare parts and tooling compatibility?

Record model, serial, and tooling codes. Source spare rollers, chucks and replacement heads ahead of time and confirm can diameter/height tolerances for new tooling.
