Seaming Machines
Seaming machines are machines that mechanically attach two separate
components in an authentic and hermetic manner. They ensure air, liquid and
bacteria tight seaming to prevent any type of leakage and spoilage. The main
function of the seaming machine is to seam the containers, big or small, and
to keep it in the same condition for long periods, and specially in very
adverse situations.
The seaming machines are specialized for Filters, Cans, Drums, Electrical
Capacitors, etc. In filter machine manufacturing industry, they are mainly
used for seaming spin-on-design filter housings and top covers. They ensure
that there is no leakage problems in all types of filters specially oil
filters. Their accurate working ensure leak proof filter sealing. They can
also be used for operating on automotive filters, hydraulic filters and
industrial filters.
Working
Seaming machine unite the edges of sheet-metal plates by bending them and
pinching them together. They do so by joining two pieces of sheet metal by
interlocking 3 or 5 layers and then pressing them together. Their working
cycle involve two stages. First they join the two pieces of sheet metal and
then rolls them together to give them greater strength. Then by applying a
suitable sealant paste they can be made watertight.
Applications
Seaming machines are used in a wide range of industries. They can be used
for seaming different types of materials and products. From seaming smaller
beverage cans to bigger oil tankers, they are an important constituent of
major industries. Some of the most recognized industries where they are used
are:
- Filter Manufacturing Industry
- Canned Food Industry
- Beverage Industry
- Automobile Industry
