High-speed, reliable, and simple-to-operate seaming technology for liquid applications
At JBT, we’re all about combining innovative designs with proven technologies to make food processing simpler, faster, and better. When it comes to can closing, you shouldn’t have to choose between speed and quality. We offer a wide range of versatile seamers that are suitable for liquid applications with speeds from 100 to 1,500 cans per minute (cpm).
With over 750 machines sold worldwide, the X-52 grease-lubricated seamer is one of the canning industry’s most popular seamers. The X-59 oil-lubricated seamer outperforms the competition in terms of speed while also setting new standards for consistency, hygiene, ease of operation, safety, and efficiency.
JBT’s can closers are designed to provide you with superior results while minimizing the overall cost of ownership. With limited maintenance requirements and strategic automation, you can increase production speeds and end-product consistency while saving valuable time and money.
Features & Benefits
Consistency, efficiency, and simplicity come together to deliver the most cost-effective and results-driven can closing solutions in the FoodTech industry. Designed to accommodate a wide variety of applications, the X-52 and X-59 are designed for seaming cylindrical metal cans for any type of food, dairy, or beverage product with speed and precision. Primary advantages include:
- Superior reliability – With all gearing contained within one oil bath at the top housing of the machine, JBT’s X-59 can closer offers a unique combination of extreme reliability, low maintenance requirements, durability, and ease of use.
- Sanitary design – The closer’s stainless steel design and easy-to-access product contact areas make it ideal for applications that necessitate high standards of hygiene or involve corrosive products. There is also an optional wash-in-place (WIP) system available.
- Improved user safety – The machine is equipped with full-length stainless steel guards that have polycarbonate windows and optional LED lighting, in addition to wide interlocked doors to accommodate easy accessibility to the seaming area for maintenance, adjustments, and change-over. The fully-enclosed design maximizes operator safety at every level.
- Consistent seam quality – Power-driven seaming spindles and lifter plates produce high-quality double seams every time, even on the most lightweight cans.
- Automatic lubrication – The X-59’s full automatic oil flow system lubricates each and every machine part, including seaming heads, lifter tables, and seaming rolls, without the need for downtime. The system also features a high-performance oil recovery filtration system.
- Maximum efficiency – The X-52 series covers the speed range from 100 to 600 cpm, while the X-59 series covers the speed range from 300 to 1,500 cpm, Stainless steel, spring-loaded knock-out pads and reduced diameter lifter tables with low-lift cams to minimize spillage are combined with a highly efficient air-removal system to reduce waste and increase processing speeds.
Customizability Meets Low-Maintenance Design
JBT’s line of automatic can seamers marry reliable quality with fast-paced operation. With adjustable speeds from 100-1,500 cmp depending on your machine preferences, you have the power to control throughput to best serve your particular production goals. But ultra-efficient performance doesn’t have to come with additional costs. Our can closers offer easy maintenance with ergonomic designs that prioritize user experience and efficiency. Stainless steel surfaces, electrically interlocked doors for ease of maintenance, and optional wash-in-place technology significantly reduce downtime and increase overall system efficiency.
