Seaming - Import export

This tablet comes with a preinstalled application that allows for ontheground checks of critical seaming parameters and keeps a record of previous measurements. As a tablet, it also has many features that may be useful at the time of inspection (camera, integrated email, etc.)

This micrometer is used for measuring the height and the thickness of the seam.

Thanks to our experience in this industry, Imeta has developed new assemblies for some older seaming rolls. These include the “Easy System” type roll for the Angelus P Series, and the “Super Seal” type roll for any seaming machines. These can reduce roll maintenance time and costs.

Ceramic seaming rolls can increase production efficiencies and reduce machine downtimes by eliminating or significantly reducing many problems deriving from wear, corrosion and superficial damage. There is a low friction coefficient and they are approved by the USFDA.

The Imeta A1 model is a simple model seamer but nonetheless is equipped with all the necessary features for manufacturing small batches and/or seaming tests. The machine has CE protections as standard, and may be supplied with a CO2 flow device to seam carbonated soft drinks cans. The Imeta A1 seams cans up to a diameter of 190mm and a height of 250mm.

This gauge is to measure the countersinks after the seaming operation and allows this seaming parameter to be monitored.

Precise benchtop measuring instrument for the flanged edge of the can. It can be used on different can formats.

This set of calibration wires is used to adjust the correct position of the seaming rolls in relation to the seaming chucks.

The digital dynamometer allows making simple but precise measurements of the pressure in every single lower lifters during the adjustment of the seaming machine. The dynamometer is equipped with a detailed instruction manual and a number of feeler gauges suitable for different can heights. The Dynamometer is available in both with metric or imperial scales.

This is an essential onboard instrument to adjust the seaming rolls and the seaming chucks and set them at the same height. It is equipped with a digital and analogue indicator to guarantee precise measurement.

This is a highprecision instrument to adjust the pin height. It can also be used as a scriber, as a gauge for parallel lifters, for distance measurements, as well as an adjustable parallel or support for indicators.

Imeta is specialized in overhauling seaming machines, filling machines as well as can and cover manufacturing machines of any model. Our Exchange Program allows the clients not to interrupt production while we prepare an overhauled machine. All overhauled machines are sold with a oneyear guarantee and an integrated user manual. They meet the requirements of the CE Standard and/or other standards the Client may require. Depending on the model, the following features can be upgraded with various optional extras. The following pages show some examples of our fully overhauled machines. If you have any questions, please ask our Trade Office.

The “DESMO” Kit for Angelus 60 L includes A desmodromic cam that controls both opening and closing of roll levers at any speed A desmodromic cam that guarantees the return of the extractor shafts at any working speed A series of seaming levers allowing the adjustment of seaming rolls and very fast changeover with no need of dismantling the levers.

Imeta provides complete changeover parts for Lanico flanging, necking and seaming machines, for any type of can a customer may be running. The standard kit includes base plates, seaming chucks and seaming rolls with coatings, in order to offer a longer productive lifetime. Partial changeover kits can be provided if, for example, straight cans need to be necked.

The 60L seaming machine is a multifunctional machine that meets the most diverse manufacturing needs, from cans for food or drinks, to canmaking, aerosols, composite cans and general line cans. Imeta has the necessary knowhow to transform and equip such a machine depending on different can and cover specifications, even beyond the original standard set up.

In addition to the bare rolls, Imeta offers – as an optional service – the seaming rolls preassembled with their pins and bearings. Seaming rolls are then provided already set and lubricated, ready to be mounted, allowing significantly shortened machine downtimes. The assembly is carried out by our skilled technicians using all the correct tools and equipment such as the hydraulic press and the dynamometric wrench. Potentially using certain old items (pins, bottom plates, dust covers), that maybe still in good condition, it is also possible to provide partial assemblies according to the client’s needs.

UCAR plating is applied on the lips of the seaming chucks in order to offer high wear resistance features, besides friction with the parts it is in contact with.

This chromium plating is used for some applications, such as seaming rolls for filters and deepdrawn aluminum cans. It guarantees a very good wear resistance and a low friction coefficient.

This coating is typically applied on seaming chucks and rolls and it extends their life up to three times. Surfaces coated with DIAMOND 98HRC have a very low friction coefficient, and as a consequence they have very high anti pickup features. Therefore, rubbing is reduced, and seams can avoid peeling.

PVD coating is commonly used on seaming chucks made of steel.

CVD coating is typically used for Stoody seaming rolls and chucks. Its main feature is its superior adhesion to the base steel, which provides a high resistance against wear and corrosion.

Seaming chucks and rolls made from tool steel are generally considered the industry standard for can factories, while canneries generally use stainless steel. Other types of steel are commonly used in the production of seaming chucks for Easy open covers, especially for those chucks that suffer from a weak chuck lip.
