CarnaudMetalbox Engineering: Innovators of the seaming industry

CarnaudMetalbox Engineering (CMbE) is the market leader in non-OEM seamer tooling. We have supplied seamer tooling to over 380 different global company locations in the beer/beverage, food, and aerosol industries. With key offices in the US, UK, and China, we are able to support our customers efficiently. 

Through innovation and development, we have introduced many new features such as special non-corrosive materials, high-quality coatings, ceramic bearings and specialised seals all originating from the seamer tooling business in Shipley, UK. In conjunction with our UK based R&D facilities, we are able to launch new developments to the world of seaming and have proven to offer benefits over existing products.

All chucks and rolls produced by CMbE provide accurate repeatability, in order to minimise set-up time during replacement and line changeovers: Resulting in higher efficiencies in your line.

We offer a range of products, many of which were launched for the first time by CMbE:

• Stoody® lipped seaming chucks
• ‘Eco-Seal’ technology
• Titanium Carbide coatings for seaming chucks and rolls
• ‘Ultra-Seal’ technology

Chucks

Our chucks can be designed and made to meet specific customer requirements for almost any can/end combination, for most common seamers. 

Each chuck, manufactured for a specific end design, can be customised to a customer’s needs, or matched to a recognised industry-standard.

Rolls

Our team works with customers to provide roll profiles, which are best suited for achieving the required double seam. We have extensive experience across all products and materials; including aluminium, steel and plastic. 

In addition, we apply a range of coatings to withstand the often-harsh environments of beverage and food filling plants. These coatings also minimise the danger of lacquer scuffing.

As a guide, our tooling is capable of closing over 60 million cans in the beverage market, and over 25 million cans in the food market. We manufacture approximately 10,000 items of tooling per year.

We continually explore and test improvements and believe we offer the very best tooling that money can buy.
