Abstract: A seamer assembly includes a frame, a first servo assembly, a second servo assembly, a first support element, a second support element, a first die, and a second die. The first servo assembly is coupled to the frame. The first servo assembly includes a chuck that is configured to be rotated by the first servo assembly. The second servo assembly is coupled to the frame. The first support element is configured to support a can subassembly that includes a can body and a lid relative to the frame where at least one of the first support element, the first servo assembly and second servo assembly move relative to the other of the first support element, the first servo assembly and second servo assembly. The second support element is coupled to the second servo assembly. The first die is coupled to the second support element. The second die is coupled to the second support element. The first support element is configured to support a can subassembly such that the chuck is received in a first chuck position.

Abstract: A distillation system includes a pot and a rectification column. Vapor is produced in the pot and the rectification column receives the vapor from the pot. The rectification column includes a first plate, a first ring, and a fluid distribution system. The first plate is positioned within the rectification column. The first ring is positioned within the rectification column. The first ring includes a first plurality of apertures. The fluid distribution system receives a pressurized cleaning fluid and provides the pressurized cleaning fluid to the first ring such that the pressurized cleaning fluid is propelled from the first ring via the first plurality of apertures into the rectification column. At least some of the first plurality of apertures are configured to cause the pressurized cleaning fluid propelled therefrom to contact the first plate.
Abstract: A conditioning system ideally suited for use under a wide variety of water softening conditions is disclosed. The conditioning system is well suited for the removal of calcium and magnesium ions from water although the system is also useful for numerous other conditioning applications. The conditioning system is formed from at least one water conditioner module having a fixed baffle and at least one removable baffle mounted therein. A suitable ion exchange resin is received in the housing and the modules are adapted to be stacked one upon another to accommodate various levels of impurity for the incoming water.
