JBT FoodTech SeamTec for Powder

JBT’s SeamTec for Powder creates closures for metal or composite double-seamed cans used for packing infant formula, milk powder, instant coffee, chocolate or sports drinks powder.

The cans can be fitted with a peelable, easy-open lid, typically covered with a plastic cap for re-closability.

The system incorporates enhanced hygiene and cleanability, quick and easy changeover and gentle, zero-defect can handling.

The 6-head seamer can run up to 127 cans at speeds up to 450 cans/min (27,000 cph). The combi variant is fitted with a seaming head preset for two can diameters.

The system comes in several possible configurations to meet each can packaging principle, pre- or post-gassing requirements.

The seamer is equipped with an oil-lubricated triple screw cover feeding system. It automatically detects reversed covers which can be removed during operation. A continuous cover stack pressure control guarantees consistent and gentle cover feed.

A synchronised can stop turret and infeed scroll avoids denting, while powder spillage at a line stop is prevented by a can stop turret.

The system incorporates quick can and cover format changeover. The lower seaming arm can be changed quickly without disassembly and easily positioned with a spline and a locating pin. Hygienic qualities are achieved by avoiding powder spillage, not exposing lubricants and an overall easy-to-clean design. The seamer is available in a dust explosion-safe version.
