The 10A Can Seamer is a single head, pneumatically actuated can seamer. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, the 10A utilises pneumatic cylinders to automate the seaming process. Operation is by twin push buttons, for operator safety, which lifts the can to the seaming position before another cylinder engages the vacuum hardened cam. Suitable for seaming tinplate, aluminium, paperboard or plastic cans, the 10A Seamer is extremely versatile in use and the premier option for single head seaming with increased levels of operator safety. A high number (13) of 1st Op revolutions mean even the most lightweight ends can be closed with optimal double seam formation. The seaming operation is motor driven and pneumatically actuated, using a cylinder to engage the seaming mechanism, meaning the operator does not need to move their hands from the push buttons.
The 10A has the same mechanical components as a high-speed seamer but in a smaller frame, to ensure the highest quality commercial seam integrity. The lifter mechanism has an adjustable mechanical spring and is raised against a repeatable dead stop, allowing full and easy setting for a repeatable body hook parameter. Changeover to different can heights is extremely easy, using the handle connected to a leadscrew at the back of the machine. The seaming head moves up and down, allowing the 'home' position of the lifter to remain in the same position, whatever the can size. Can diameter changeovers take just 10 minutes from start to finish.
