Ceramic ball bearings are fully resistant to corrosion as both the external and internal races are made of stainless steel, while the inner cage is made of plastic material, which is resistant against high temperatures. Thanks to the low friction of the ceramic balls, the seaming rolls require a reduced lubrication – up to five times less than standards. This saves time for the operators and the machine downtime, allowing increased production.

The 60L seaming machine is a multifunctional machine that meets the most diverse manufacturing needs, from cans for food or drinks, to canmaking, aerosols, composite cans and general line cans. Imeta has the necessary knowhow to transform and equip such a machine depending on different can and cover specifications, even beyond the original standard set up.

Imeta provides complete changeover parts for Lanico flanging, necking and seaming machines, for any type of can a customer may be running. The standard kit includes base plates, seaming chucks and seaming rolls with coatings, in order to offer a longer productive lifetime. Partial changeover kits can be provided if, for example, straight cans need to be necked.

Imeta provides complete changeover kits for single and multistation Cevolani machines, depending on the type of can required by the Client. The standard kit includes design and manufacturing of all necessary tools, such as rollers and knives for parting stations, rollers and formers for beading stations, complete spin flanging heads, complete necking heads and seamer changeover parts.

This feeder was initially designed for installation on the Angelus 60 L and was then adapted for many other machines. The innovative feature here is that the feeding screw is inclined and parallel to the cover stack, making the feeding more natural and fluid. This feeder is adjustable and, with the substitution of just a few parts, it is suitable for any cover diameter (between 50 and 105mm).

Following the great success of the AP0158.4 Cover Feeder, Imeta has also developed a simpler version of a one or threescrew cover feeder for the entire Angelus P Series. This upgrade has been particularly popular for feeding Easy Open covers, which are very difficult to feed with the original dualshaft feeder. This feeder has the same advantages of simple adjustment and performance reliability.

Imeta has also developed Cover Feeders that can feed aerosol tops and bottoms and special components such as varnish rings or deepdrawn covers, as well as a wide range of special feeders with three or four screws for rectangular or oval covers.

Whereas necessary, all the cover feeders can include a pneumatic lid gapper (“No CanNo Cover”) in order to reduce the load on the feeding screws.

This conversion kit consists of six larger driven lifters, a pair of stainless steel turrets with upper splined hubs, and a rugged central splined shaft. There is also a range of optional extras that can be provided with the Gear Driven Lower Lifters in order to further improve their performance.

The “DESMO” Kit for Angelus 60 L includes A desmodromic cam that controls both opening and closing of roll levers at any speed A desmodromic cam that guarantees the return of the extractor shafts at any working speed A series of seaming levers allowing the adjustment of seaming rolls and very fast changeover with no need of dismantling the levers.
