Can Seaming and Bottle Capping Machine
When sealing filled containers, the closure process must match the speed of the filler while maintaining airtight sealing and product integrity. A synchronized capping and seaming system ensures consistent closure quality without interrupting production flow.
Apply closures with synchronized high-speed sealing control
The capping and seaming system from Ferrum Group is designed to apply closures to aluminium cans, glass bottles, PET bottles, and liquid food containers in high-speed production lines. The system operates in direct synchronisation with the filler, often as part of an integrated filler-seamer or filler-capper block, ensuring continuous product flow without intermediate handling.
For aluminium cans, the system performs double seaming, mechanically forming an airtight seal between the can body and lid. This process is critical to prevent leakage, maintain carbonation, and protect the product from contamination. Seam geometry and pressure are controlled to ensure consistent seam integrity across all containers.
For glass bottles, integrated crown corking units apply closures in-line with the filler, ensuring precise positioning and consistent sealing force. This is particularly important for carbonated beverages where seal integrity directly impacts CO₂ retention.
In PET bottle applications, the system uses torque-controlled capping heads to apply screw caps or tamper-evident closures. Precise torque control ensures that caps are tight enough to prevent leakage while avoiding over-tightening that could damage threads or closures.
The system supports a wide range of closure types, including lids, crown corks, screw caps, and tamper-evident seals. Custom lid and cap feeding systems are configured based on line capacity and container format to maintain stable operation at low, medium, or high production speeds.
Across all applications, the system is engineered to minimise total package oxygen (TPO), which is essential for maintaining product freshness and shelf life, especially in beverage production. The high level of automation reduces manual intervention and ensures repeatable sealing performance across long production runs.
