Dixie Double Seamers hermetically seam lightweight metal tops onto round, rigid cans of various sizes, types and styles. Tops or ends may be steel, tin or aluminum. Can bodies may be metal, plastic, or composite.

All Dixie Double Seamers feature seam rolls which interlock with the chuck to ensure proper alignment. The chuck (and can) turn only during the actual seaming process, so spills are eliminated. Floor model seamers may include an air lift system to simplify operation.

Dixie Double Seamers are priced with customized change parts for closing one size can. To close additional can sizes, within the range of the seamer, requires optional change parts. Numerous types, styles, and sizes of cans and ends are available on the market today. To ensure an acceptable seam on your Dixie seamer, we require samples of your can(s) and end(s) for fabrication of change parts and factory calibrations. Before shipment, your Dixie Seamer is tested using your cans. Seams are inspected to ensure acceptable dimensions and pressure tested to ensure a hermetic seal. If your can supplier has recommended chuck dimensions, seam roll profiles, or seam dimensions, please provide this information with samples of your can(s) and end(s) when you place your order.

Dixie's Direct Drive Models are Top-of-the-Line. They're tough, fast, and precision ­ tough enough to can heavy welding rods precision enough to extract oxygen from dense powders and to produce hermetic seams. They are made of rust-resisting materials which may be wiped clean and sanitized. And, Direct Drive Models may be customized for 6-5/8" diameter cans or containers smaller than 2" diameter.

All models double seam cans under ambient atmospheric conditions. Vacuum, gas flush, multiflush, and timed delays are control functions of Dixie seamers with a vacuum chamber. A vacuum seamer may be desirable to expel oxygen from the contents of the can to prolong the shelf life of your product. If your can will not withstand vacuum, the controls of the seamer may be set for a gas flush.

On seamers with the multiflush option, multiple vacuum then gas flushes may be performed to obtain low oxygen content or to remove atmospheric impurities. Each set value, cycle or delay is performed when the chamber door is closed, before the can and top are joined and double seamed.
