How the LV-135ZFG automatic vacuum can seamer works
Filled cans arrive on the conveyor, and a servo-driven indexing table moves each one through the working positions under one seaming head. A water-ring vacuum pump with a 100–200 L buffer tank provides the vacuum, and the head forms a double seam. The control program checks for the lid and stops the machine on a can jam, with a one-button reset once the fault is cleared.
The listed 25–35 cans per minute depends on the can, the condition of the product and the fill level, so a representative filled can is the best basis for the rate in the quotation.
Vacuum level and the vacuum equipment
We define the vacuum target and measurement method for your product during engineering review. Send the level you need, or the shelf-life target it serves.
The vacuum pump and buffer tank stand beside the seamer frame (2000 × 1000 × 1750 mm, approx. 650 kg). Leave floor space for the external vacuum pump and buffer tank on your line layout; we provide the complete installation drawing with the order.
LV-135ZFG or the other vacuum seamers
The hand-loaded LV-135B also closes cans under vacuum, at 4–8 cans per minute. The automatic vacuum nitrogen seamer adds nitrogen filling and lists a residual oxygen below 3%, at 4–8 cans per minute. Choose the LV-135ZFG for conveyor-fed vacuum seaming at line speed, and the nitrogen machine when the product needs a residual oxygen target.
What to send for an LV-135ZFG quotation
These details let us confirm the change parts, the vacuum and the layout.
- Empty cans and lids of every format, or dimensioned drawings, and a filled can if possible
- The product, its condition and the fill level
- The vacuum you need and how you measure it
- Target cans per minute and the output of the filler before the seamer
- Space for the vacuum pump and buffer tank, and the conveyor layout
- Site supply and compressed air; the machine lists AC 380 V, 50 Hz, approx. 7 kW and at least 0.4 MPa

Machine features
Review these features with our engineering team to select the configuration for your product and packaging requirements.
- Missing-lid alarm, no seaming without a lid, and a machine stop when a can jams.
- Adjustable machine speed.

- Double seaming with chromium steel seaming rollers.
Working process
The sequence below outlines the packaging process. We coordinate the stations and their order with the selected equipment and line layout.
- Step 1 — The conveyor brings the filled cans to the machine.
- Step 2 — The servo-driven indexing table moves each can through the working positions.
- Step 3 — The vacuum system, a water-ring pump with a buffer tank, provides the vacuum for the seaming stage.
- Step 4 — The seaming head forms the double seam, and the closed can returns to the conveyor.

How this fits the Can Seaming Machines process
Can seaming machines close a filled can by rolling the lid's edge and the can's flange into a seam, by hand-loaded station or on a conveyor, and with or without vacuum or nitrogen. The can and lid, the atmosphere in the can and the line output define the scope of a configuration.
