Can one machine seal any can and lid?
No. Compatibility depends on the can material, dimensions, rim and lid profile, as well as the tooling. A matching diameter alone does not establish compatibility.
Will I need different tooling when changing can size?
A change in can diameter or lid specification may require a different chuck, support or other tooling. Height adjustment alone does not cover every format change; provide each can-and-lid combination for review.
Does automatic sealing include automatic lid feeding?
Not necessarily. Check whether the selected configuration includes lid storage, delivery and placement, and whether the operator still needs to load cans or position lids.
Does this range include plastic and food cans?
Yes. Plastic and PET cans, aluminum and tinplate food cans, and compatible composite paper cans are included. Select a model designed for the actual can-and-lid combination; one machine is not necessarily suitable for every material.
Are vacuum and nitrogen functions standard?
No. Choose a dedicated vacuum or vacuum-and-nitrogen configuration when the process requires it. Confirm the operating mode, gas supply, cycle time and required residual oxygen level for your product and package.
Does a vacuum or nitrogen seamer include a nitrogen generator?
Not automatically. The AFK400 listing requires an external nitrogen cylinder or generator for nitrogen mode; the machine does not produce nitrogen. Confirm gas quality, supply and connection requirements for the selected system.
Can the AFK350 vacuum-seal square or oval cans?
No. The current AFK350 configuration does not support vacuum sealing. It uses sample-matched tooling for square, oval or round metal cans and is normally configured for one main can specification.
What should I send for a sealing trial?
Provide representative empty cans and matching lids, dimensional drawings, the packed product and filling conditions, target output, and your seam or closure acceptance requirements. Finished closure quality should be checked against the can and lid specification.
Can I combine filling and can sealing in one line?
Yes. Integrated beverage systems and powder-packaging lines with can-sealing modules are available. Match the filler to the contents and the sealer to the can and lid, then check transfer, lid feeding and finished-line output together.
