How does the Gas Flushing process work on our Vacuum Gas Flush Seamers?

Our vacuum seaming models utilize a proprietary “Wide-Path” open-chamber cycle that completely eliminates the need for pre-clinching:

  • Unrestricted Oxygen Removal: Inside the sealed chamber, the can and lid are kept fully apart during the vacuum stage. This creates a wide, unobstructed pathway to pull out the trapped air instantly.
  • Instantaneous Sealing: The nitrogen gas backfills the chamber, and the machine brings the can and lid together to seam them a fraction of a second after the flushing operation.

Why This Beats the Clinching Method?

Traditional systems that require you to clinch the lid before gassing create severe quality risks:

  • The Nitrogen Escape: Nitrogen gas is lighter than air. In clinched-lid systems, the gas naturally floats up and escapes through the loose lid perimeter during conveyor transit.
  • Conveyor Vibration Leakage: The physical movement and vibration of the conveyor belt as a clinched can moves toward the seamer create air currents that force ambient oxygen back into the can.
  • Trapped Oxygen: Clinching creates a tight restriction, trapping pockets of oxygen inside the can that vacuum systems cannot easily pull out.

By isolating the entire process inside a sealed environment and eliminating open-air conveyor transit entirely, our system ensures the lowest possible residual oxygen (O₂) levels without slowing down your production line.

  • The Can with the Lid (End) to be seamed is placed on the lifter plate. A Foot Switch (electronic) or Dual Push Buttons are pressed.
  • The Chamber Closes , the Can is Vacuumed and then flushed with Nitrogen. On completion of Flushing, the Can is Seamed and the Machine is ready for the next Can. All operations take place consecutively without any further operator intervention.
  • The Vacuum and Gassing operations are done inside a chamber and the chamber is opened only after the Can and Lid (End) are held tightly together, thereby eliminating any chance of Nitrogen leaking out of the can
  • The Vacuum and Gas Flush times can be set to user desired levels in the control panel. The machine also has a multi-flush option for multiple Vacuum+Flush cycles, if required.
