Can seaming machine X-52

Overview
The JBT Marel Can Closer X-52 and X-59 are industrial can seamers designed for liquid applications. The range delivers adjustable throughputs covering 100–1,500 cans per minute depending on model and configuration, with configurations for grease lubrication (X-52) and oil lubrication with automatic oil flow (X-59).

Features & Benefits

• Seaming quality – power-driven seaming spindles and lifter plates produce consistent double seams across a wide range of can gauges, including lightweight cans.
• Lubrication options – X-52: grease-lubricated design for standard throughput; X-59: oil-bath gearing plus a full automatic oil-flow lubrication system with oil recovery and filtration for high-speed continuous operation.
• Hygienic construction – stainless-steel product-contact areas and easy access to contact zones; optional wash-in-place (WIP) for sanitary cleaning cycles.
• Operational safety – full-length stainless guards with polycarbonate windows, electrically interlocked wide doors and optional LED lighting for safe maintenance and change-over.
• Waste reduction – spring-loaded knock-out pads, reduced-diameter lifter tables and low-lift cams combined with an efficient air-removal system minimize spillage and product loss.
• Range coverage – X-52 typically 100–600 cpm; X-59 typically 300–1,500 cpm (adjustable per configuration).

Customizability and maintenance
Both machines feature adjustable speeds, ergonomic layouts and easily accessible major assemblies to reduce downtime. Options include WIP, LED task lighting and mechanical or electronic interfaces for line integration.

FAQs

• Can these machines be integrated with fillers? Yes. X-52 and X-59 can be synchronized mechanically or electronically with JBT Marel fillers to create integrated filling and closing lines.
• How do they limit product waste? Precise seaming control, automatic lubrication (X-59), and mechanical design elements reduce spills and improve yield.
• What maintenance is required? Machines are designed for low maintenance with accessible assemblies; X-59 includes oil recovery/filtration to extend service intervals.
