A semi manual can seamer for starting in the canning business
Sturdy and reliable it will operate with safety and without requiring any highly qualified engineer for its running and maintenance.

Based on our experience and having in mind ability, can size & fatigue factors one operator could close:
- In 1 hour: 600 cans
- In 2 hours: 1100 cans
- In 3 hours: 1500 cans
For more than 2000 cans closed per day we recommend two S-1 or one Reinerts can seamer.
We manage to obtain the same seaming quality in all the cans, without variations caused by the force applied by the operator

The tooling of the S1 can seamer can be changed in order to close different round can types during one same shift. It only takes a few moments:
- Complete tooling changeover: 5-10 minutes
- Height regulation: 3-5 minutes (without additional parts)
Another key advantage of the S1 manual can sealer is its versatility, having the option of seaming different can diameters & sizes during the same day

Having in mind the low acquisition cost and the daily can productions achieved we can assure that the investment repayment is the fastest of all our can sealers.
JK Somme guarantees buying back the machine once you decide to buy one of our automatic models.

The S1 can seaming machine consists of the following elements:
- Seaming spindle with one rotary seaming chuck
- Manual actuated seaming lever with 2 seaming rolls: 1st and 2nd operation
- Lifter plate actuated by foot pedal with seaming pressure regulated by a spring
- Control panel
- 3-phase or single phase 1 Hp motor
Since 1905, SOMME legendary can seamers have a reputation for being almost indestructible, real “heavy duty”.
