TAJ seamer tooling has been manufactured in the UK since 1966. Its mission is to manufacture good quality tooling in small batch quantities, on short lead-times and at prices below the high volume manufacturers.

Since acquiring the TAJ product range in 2003, Eurocan has continued to support this legacy with long term investment in manufacturing, quality control, and research and development.

Whether the seaming machine is a modern high speed Angelus, or a single head Metal Box from yesteryear, the integrity of the double seam is totally dependent on the quality of the seaming tooling

The chuck lip profile must precisely fit the countersink of the end to ensure it does not slip, without damaging its protective coating. Each and every end specification requires a dedicated seaming chuck. Similarly, the geometry of the seaming roll groove profiles is critical to achieving the correct double seam specification.

TAJ seamer tooling has been endorsed by the world's leading can makers for decades for use on their own can lines and on their customers' can closing machines. Thereby TAJ chucks and rolls are manufactured according to the original container manufacturing standards ensuring complete compatibility.

Combined with a comprehensive library of chuck and roll designs for almost every conceivable make and model of seamer, TAJ seamer tooling is the perfect marriage of container manufacturing technology and closing machine expertise.

Although tooling geometry is critical, durability is also highly important. By choosing proven material specifications, and adhering to stringent manufacturing, heat treatment and coating processes, TAJ tooling provides optimum wear life without the price premium associated with highly specialist materials and coatings.

For the can maker, chucks and rolls can be manufactured from AISI BD2 a high tensile steel that is induction hardened to Rockwell 62 and finished ground and polished to a 3 micron surface finish.

The first choice substrate for the canner is AISI 440C stainless steel, a corrosion resistant material that can be hardened, ground and polished to the same specification as BD2.

A stock of turned and hardened seaming roll blanks is kept for fast track manufacturing of common roll designs, and for customers who pre-advise future purchasing demand.

Stoody is a cobalt chrome metal alloy with very hard wearing characteristics. It is specified for high speed cannery seamer applications where the cost premium is justifiable due to the volume of cans being processed.

All tool material substrates can be enhanced by coating with titanium nitride, which increases durability and resistance to pick-up of the lacquer coating from the end.
As a full service company we can provide a wide range of replacement parts, and offer to supply our seaming rolls fully assembled with pins, bearings, shims and caps where applicable and according to the original specifications.
