Vacuum Gassing and Seaming Multi Stations

Product catalog summary

Overview: Sapli offers Vacuum Gassing and Seaming stations that can be configured with or without a vacuum-gassing option, which involves adding inert gas in a vacuum chamber. Customers can choose between atmospheric, vacuum, or vacuum and gassing seaming operations based on product requirements. The system is designed for low to medium production speeds and features a unique can feeding system to optimize the vacuum gassing and sealing cycle.

Machine Performance Method:

Cans are fed into the machine via a transportation belt, positioned by a vacuum grip driven by a servo motor system.
For vacuum seaming, a silicone seal inflates around the can, and the vacuum port opens until the target vacuum pressure is achieved. If gassing is required, Nitrogen gas floods the chamber to the specified pressure.
The can and end are clamped onto the seaming chuck, and the double seaming operation begins.
After seaming, the closed can is pushed onto the exit transportation belt.

Technical Features:

High-performance solution for medium production speeds with a modular design for future expansion.
Suitable for seaming and vacuum gassing products in various packaging materials across multiple industrial sectors.
Features perfect sealing technology with adjustable working speeds and residual O2 levels for extended product shelf-life.
Configurable vacuum and gassing pressures, monitored on each seaming cycle.
Constructed from food-grade 316 Stainless Steel, ensuring high food security and compliance with EU standards.
Accommodates a wide range of tin can formats, heights, and diameters.
Multiformat capability allows for various packaging formats on the same machine.
Food-grade grease lubrication and seaming rolls that do not require lubrication.

Vacuum Gassing and Seaming Multi Stations-1

SAPLI ~ Packaging Technology SAPLI VGS-3 VACUUM GASSING AND SEAMING MULTISTATIONS Sapli’s Vacuum Gassing and Seaming stations can be configured with or without vacuum-gassing option (adding of inert gas in vacuum chamber). The Customer chooses: • atmospheric • vacuum • vacuum and gassing seaming operations machine. The vacuum-gassing option is needed depending on the product requirements. More than one station machine is applied in low and medium production speeds, depending on the product requirements. Sapli offers the unique on the market highly-efficient cans feeding system, developed specially for maximum reduction of vacuum gassing and sealing cycle and achieving of the optimal level of Oxygen. Machine Performance Method: 1. Cans are fed into the Sapli machine via a transportation belt. The vacuum grip driven by servo motor system places the can in the exact position in the seaming chamber. 2. For vacuum seaming a silicone seal is inflated around the can body and the vacuum port is opened until the vacuum pressure sensor signals the target vacuum pressure is achieved. If gassing is required, the chamber is then flooded with Nitrogen gas to the specified pressure. 3. The can and end are clamped onto the stationary seaming chuck, and the double seaming operation is initiated. 4. After seaming, the closed can is gently pushed onto exit transportation belt. Packaging Technology from Barcelona since 1978
