Beer Can Sealer.

[Lindsay Dive]

How much are the Canimal machines? Heaps of pubs and bottle shops have them now so there must be a local distributor in Australia.

Modus Operandi are in the process of becoming a dealer.

What are your thoughts on some of the seamers offered by manufacturers in China? Anything out there that you might recommend? They're certainly cheap. The old adage, 'you get what you pay for', does come to mind. However, some of those prices are great......

The success of a seamer lies in both the chucks themselves and the can blanks and lids. If the chucks are made to the correct profile with good close tolerances, and the can blanks and lids are also the right profile, then it should be fine. If you're not running at somewhat fast speeds where dynamic balancing issues start to cause vibrations and all that crap.

Assuming we're talking simple manual, single-head machines like in the OP. I would most certainly not have the faith in the emerging Chinese manufacturers to produce automated, multihead seamers of decent reliability just yet.

Don't some of the UBrew It places offer can options? Might be worthwhile a visit?

Only if you brew your beer on their premises, and, they do not retail the can seamers. Their seamers are supplied by a Canadian company named Cask.

The Oktober can seamers are fully adjustable and you need a set of vernier calipers to adjust the seamer.
