Can seamer in hygienic design
A seamer that is perfectly tailored to the Krones can filler
Krones integrated its many years of experience in the filling and

capping technology sectors in the Modulseam.
The key factor: the can seamer is precisely designed to complement
the Modulfill VFS-C filler – and therefore works hand in hand with it.

Servo-drive technology for all format-specific adjustments
Common recipe management of

filler and seamer The transfer chain can be disengaged; filler and
seamer can be operated separately in the JOG
mode.
− The parameter settings for all kinds of combinations (product,
can and lid) are each saved in a recipe in the HMI of the filler and
can be directly started through it.
− Among others, the settings control the performance of the
bubble breaker and the under-lid gassing device.
− Necessary height adjustments (e.g. type change-overs) can be
centrally assigned for both machines.
− Due to the automated production management, setting up the
subsequent recipe can be done already while the type is still
being processed.
