Can seamer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Can seamer is a machine used to seal the lid (End) to the can body such as in paint or food cans. The lid (End) should be of metal while the body can be off metal (beverage, soup, etc.), paper (whiskey cans) or plastic.
The seam formed is generally leak-proof but this depends on the product being canned. The seam is made by mechanically overlapping the two layers to form a hook.
Different parameters of the hook are measured and monitored to check the integrity of the seam under different conditions. See: Seam Measurements and Parameters
