About Continental - 2003/2004/2006 RCM

BW Packaging's Continental seamers provide a hermetic seal by creating an airtight closure of five interlocked layers, three from the can end and two from the can body. This airtight closure keeps the product fresh and avoids the risk of food poisoning.

Excellent safety is not the only benefit of the 2003, 2004 and 2006 RCM. They have been designed for an efficient, economical can-making operation. Our engineers created the RCM series for maximum value by designing many of the parts to be interchangeable, even though the seamer is being built to your unique specifications. The result is:

  • Lower cost to build the machine because of the large manufacturing lots of common parts
  • Shorter lead and assembly time, since we can assemble the machine required to fill your exact requirements from a stock of common parts
  • Better parts prices and delivery due to the large number of common parts utilized on all models
  • Lower customer investment on spare parts inventory; the ability to maintain a single set of common emergency spare parts to cover the majority of requirements for 3, 4 and even 6 spindle machines

The 2003, 2004 and 2006 RCMs have been designed with the versatility necessary to accommodate the full range of products and can sizes packed in your plant. Height changeovers are accomplished in minutes thanks to a dynamic concept that provides for the support and driving of all height change-related components directly from the top housing. The simplicity of design provides ease of operation and maintenance for even new personnel.
