Instruction Manual: VAR-180 Electric Can Sealer

Official manual for the VAR-180 Electric Can Sealer – Professional solution for can sealing in the food and beverage industry

I. General Description

The VAR-180 electric can seamer has been developed by our factory according to the practical requirements of our customers. It is based on the pneumatic seamer model, to which electric functionality has been added to achieve automatic can sealing. This increases production efficiency, reduces labor intensity for operators, and ensures higher reliability in sealing quality.

This machine is suitable for sealing bottoms and tops of paper cans, ring-sealed cans and three-piece cans. It is an ideal equipment for small food and beverage factories, as well as an excellent backup equipment for medium and large factories in the sector.

II. Structural Characteristics and Operating Principle

This machine is composed of base, drive system, rotary head, sealing blades, adjusting device and electrical system. The sealing blades can be adjusted within a certain range, so by changing the pressing head, cans of various diameters can be sealed. In addition, by adjusting the height regulating device, cans of different heights can be sealed.

During operation, the can with the lid attached is placed on the tray. When the switch is activated, the tray automatically rises. The pressure head and the tray hold the can firmly and rotate together, thus completing the sealing process.

IV. Steps for Adjustment and Operation

Step 1: Adjustment and checking the concentricity between the tray and the pressure head

1. Place the ring lid on the can and position it in the center of the tray.
2. Lift the tray and carefully check whether the ring cover fully engages with the pressure head.
3. If there is any deviation, adjust the base slightly. 

The diagram is the technical plan showing the correct position of the heads:

• A side view of what appears to be a sealing process
• A central element called (pressure head)
• Accurate distance measurements:
  
  • 0.66mm to the left
  • 0.1-0.2mm in the center
  • 0.4mm to the right

Step 2: Adjusting the tray height

1. Pull the tray up to its highest point.
2. Place an empty can next to the tray and check the distance between the lid and the pressure head. It should protrude by approximately 5 mm.
3. If the height is not suitable, please adjust the lifting seat. (Please refer to the operation video)

Step 3: Adjusting the distance between the first winding blade and the pressure head

1. Manually pull the blade arm so that the blade approaches the center of the pressure head.
2. Visually inspect the gap between the blade and the pressure head. There should be a minimum distance of 1 mm.
3. If the distance is not correct, please adjust the diameter changing screw. (Please refer to the operation video)

Step 4: Adjusting the distance between the second forming blade and the pressure head

1. Manually pull the blade arm so that the blade approaches the center of the pressure head.
2. Visually inspect the gap between the blade and the pressure head. There should be a minimum distance of 1 mm.
