The KegLand Cannular can seamer is one of the most compact and easy to use benchtop can seamers around. With a single operator you can seam/seal the cans in under 5 seconds meaning this compact machine is suitable for small breweries or brewpubs doing small production runs. The Cannular comes with a die for a size 202 beer can lid. Additional dies will be available in the future, but for right now, only cans with a size 202 lid can be canned on this machine.
SAFE 24 VOLT POWER OPTIONS If you have ever used a can seamer you know that you can sometimes spill liquids while processing cans. As a result we have made the Cannular machine with 24v DC so even when you make a mess you don't have a risk of electrocuting yourself. This also makes the machine easier to clean and wash down. An optional step down transformer (item X84) plugs into any 110 volt outlet. If you do not purchase this optional transformer, you need to get an Anderson Plug twin wire lead (our item Z25) so you can feed power into the Cannular Canning Machine. Suitable DC power sources besides transformers include 18 or 20 volt cordless drill batteries, and even car batteries.
GO ANYWHERE & EASILY RECYCLED Cans are a fantastic choice for outdoor events, parties, pool events, or at the beach. No chance of broken glass and or injury, and easy to clean up and pack out.
LIGHT BLOCK Beer can get damaged quickly due to light. If you expose many beers to sunlight for even 5 minutes the beer can become light damaged ("skunked"). Even softer light such as indoor lights will damage beer over time and noticeable skunking can occur with both incandescent and fluorescent light within hours. So unless you keep your glass bottles in the dark all the time you will compromise the beer quality. Aluminium cans solve this problem by blocking 100% of damaging light.
ADAPTS TO STANDARD 16 OUNCE CANS If you have standard USA 16 ounce cans with type 202 (B64) lids, you can easily adapt the Cannular to fit. Just put a 3/8" tall stack of 9/16" washers (not included) below the nylon base on its post. You can also use three of our item Q93 Shank Nipple Washers in a pinch (order separately). See the picture above.
Dimensions: 14" deep by 9" wide by 20" tall.
ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS: The Cannular Canning machine comes already adjusted to use the 500ml and 330ml cans that we sell. If however you use different can sizes or the machine has become out of alignment in shipping you may need to adjust the Cannular. See the video below for adjustment:

Q: I just Bought a Cannular from you and it was delivered yesterday. Are these supposed to be ready to seam out of the box with the 500ml cans? I haven't been able to get it to seal properly, and gone through about 25 cans.
A: If you are having trouble with seaming the Kegland 500ml cans, you may need to adjust the height of the can platform, which screws up and down. There are lots of good videos on YouTube on any fine adjustment you might need to make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWDn_a2wc7U

Q: Can it be powered with a 12 volt battery trickle charger?
A: We are not sure, it would depend o the model of charger and power output.

Q: I own a bosche anniallator 24 volt cordless hammer drill that runs on 24volt 3 amp hour batteries.Will the canner run on those without any issues?
A: It will run on your 24 volt DC tool batteries. It can sometimes be hard to get the alligator clips on the optional power lead to attach to drill batteries if they have smooth contacts (no place for the alligator clip to grip).

Q: Can you can condition with this setup? If so, what sugar ratio do they suggest and are there any special steps?
A: Yes, we have used 4.5 ounces of sugar by weight for 5 gallons of beer. Make sure the beer has completely fermented out before canning - we recommend always using a secondary fermenter, and leaving the beer for a few extra days before canning, just to minimize the possibility of canning beer that is still fermenting.

Q: Does this canner do counter-pressure filling with a CO2 tank hook up? If not, does it have a mechanism to flush the can with CO2 just prior to filling, like a beer gun?
A: No, although you can use something like Blichmann Beergun to fill your cans before sealing, or use the natural carbonation method (priming the beer before canning).
Not Good had to Return
So I am an auto mechanic by trade so I understand machinery and setup. This machine required mulitiple hours of setup and still did not seal cans properly. I have had solid luck with all other Kegland products but this one needs some work as another reviewer put it. It was not able to produce a consistent seal afer hours I finally gave up and returned it. Maybe my machine was just a dud but it did not work and I gave it every effort. Thanks to the Williams Brewing Team for a seamless return process. These guys are great!
Glad to have it.
Like most of you looking for a can seamer, I did my research and landed on this one. So you dont have a lot to choose from but there are a few. Will this take some set up time? Yes. Get online watch the kegland videos and down load the manual on how to set it up. No instructions were in the box. Is it loud? Yes, but managable. You will need a splash guard, but you might want to modify the one you can buy for this seamer. You could just use a large bar towel maybe. I have used the 500ml cans and they work thats a lot of beer. Now looking into finding a way to use 12oz cans not the 330ml. So this will take a new table (white part) to hold the can. With the money I saved by buying this one I can buy so many more cans.
Game Changer
Simple to set up and operate right out of the box. Would also recommend splash guard depending on your canning location. There is always some minor amount of spray when canning, whether from foam or starsan. Wipes down easy for cleaning. The metal housing appears to block/trap the spray so that it drips on the exterior of the machine versus inside the housing. No adjustment needed for can fresh- knocked out 20 big boys right out the gate. Quality appliance. Game changer.
Update - Power Supply Help
So when I received this device, I ultimately couldn't get any cans to work.From the factory it should come correct and working and mine did not. I calibrated it to specs and I finally got it working for a short time. A couple of weeks ago I went back again and sure enough, my canning was not working right, kept playing with it and after about 10 or so cans, got a can or 2 to work. Now my power doesn't even come on at all. Not sure if the power supply went out or what is going on but its frustrating. First I was sent the wrong power supply that doesn't work with the device. Then I get an updated 1 and before even 100 cans go through, it is somehow shot? Confused and irritated. When the machine is working correctly, its great. But so far the hassle is more than what it should be. William's Responds: Sorry to hear of all the trouble. We are shipping out a new power supply tomorrow. Regarding the canning machine, it is very sensitive to how tight the can is against the top die. Use the screw thread on the can base to adjust the height so the can with lid just snugs up to the top of the die, and is not loose at all. Do not raise the base so high that the can dents when the lever pushes it into the die, just so it is firm. Also, be sure to leave 1/4" of air space on top of the can, as if the lid is floating on beer or foam it will not seal correctly.
What I’ve been waiting for
After watching the set up video and a couple of minor tweaks as instructed..: works amazing! So happy I can, can beer now. Yeah a little beer may spray as expected, I bought a couple of magnets and some clear plastic to counter that. Can’t wait to see what these guys come up with next. Side note the flow control keg posts are great as well.
