Automatic seaming cam - workplace safety in focus
Challenge
Format changes often lead to production downtime, even with the quick-change tooling of Ferrum seamers. With the growing demand for diverse can and lid formats, more frequent adjustments for varying material thicknesses are required, leading to increased downtime.

Solution
By eliminating manual tasks, the automatic seaming cam significantly reduces downtime while enhancing safety during production. The upgrade is effortless and ensures more efficient production processes, perfectly meeting the demands of today’s diverse market.
