| When fabricating a base plate for
your table-top belt-drive seamer, we need to know if you have extension posts
in your machine. The following information should help you make that
determination. This information is needed to let us know how long to make the
stem of the base plate so that the can will be lifted into the correct seaming
position. If you already know you have a Model 24-700 (for example) you can ignore the rest of this page. The "700" in the model name tells us your seamer will accept cans up to 7" tall. |

This machine does not have extension posts. Note that
the seam roll lever fits flush to the cast aluminum frame where indicated by
the red line. This seamer would be either a Model 23-500 or a Model 24-500. It can accept cans up to 5" tall. |

This machine has extension posts indicated by the red
marks. The extension posts may be marked with either 3-digit or 4-digit numbers
such as 509, 604, 700, 1210, etc. If the posts are marked with a number, this
is the information we need. For example, if the posts are marked
"700" then the machine would be either a Model 23-700 or a Model
24-700. If the posts are not marked, please measure the EXPOSED part of the post. We can determine the length of the extension posts based on this information. Extension posts allow the seamer to accept cans taller than 5 inches. |
