Maintenance
a.
Seamer
i.
Roller bearing grease
Your roller operation bearings come greased with between 5 to 8 grams. Grade 0 or grade 1 FDA approved
grease should be applied to the roller bearings periodically thereafter. The interval depends on usage, of
your machine. Your rollers may require grease after as little as 144 hours. However, excessive lubrication
may lead to dead heads or grease being thrown onto cans. Therefore, do not grease unless it is necessary
as this can also decrease the life of your rolls. When done properly, grease should just exit the roller.
ii.

approved silicon grease. The shuttle cylinder, which shuttles cans into the seamer, and
