Here’s how we’ll support your canning success in 2026
As the year winds down, all of us at Dixie Canner Company want to thank you for your trust and partnership. Since 1895, we’ve built our reputation on American-made quality, practical innovation, and responsive support. From our factory in Athens, Georgia, we engineer canning solutions that help brands protect product integrity, extend shelf life, and run efficient, repeatable operations.
In 2026, we’ll keep doing what we do best: manufacturing can seamers and retorts tailored to real-world applications. Whether you need atmospheric, vacuum, vacuum with gas flush, multi-flush, or positive-pressure inert gas flush seaming, we have you covered—alongside vertical, still stainless-steel retorts with manual or automated (Package 5) controls for precise thermal processing. For line prep and hygiene, we also build stainless food-processing equipment—line exhausters, lye peeler-scalders, steam blancher-coolers, sinks, and tables—all designed for low- to mid-volume producers across food & beverage, ingredients & gourmet, industrial, pharmaceutical, and specialty markets.
Our seamers hermetically close metal, composite (paper), or plastic round containers with metal lids—creating reliable double seams that keep out light and oxygen. If you’re growing a taproom or pilot line, the Model 25D remains a favorite: a compact 7″ × 10″ footprint with the punch to run up to ~900 cans/hour, delivering consistent Crowler™ and small-format seams in tight spaces. And if 2026 calls for tighter oxygen control, our advanced vacuum/positive-pressure platforms (like UVG+MD-AL) pair recipe-driven HMI control with vacuum, inert-gas single/multi-flush, dwell timing, and data logging—so you can hit low-O₂ targets before the seam and document every run.
What hasn’t changed—and won’t—is how we support you. We don’t just sell machines; we help you match product & pH to linings, confirm can/end seam specifications, set up QC and seam teardown routines, and plan the right change parts as your SKU mix evolves. From first quote through installation, training, and maintenance, our team is here with manuals, videos, parts, and people who pick up the phone—because uptime and seam integrity are everything.
Built in the USA, Backed by Real Support
Every Dixie machine is manufactured in Athens, GA, with parts, service, and technical help from a team that knows these systems inside and out. Need a quick walk-through, a spares list, or help validating seams against can-maker specs? We’ll get you what you need—fast.
Solutions for Today’s Applications
From coffee and seafood to nutraceuticals, devices, and specialty foods, we configure seamers and retorts that fit your products, formats, and targets. Choose atmospheric or vacuum/gas-flush seaming, add positive-pressure inert gas when ultra-low oxygen is critical, and pair with RDSW-3SS retorts for thermal stability.
Start 2026 Strong
Planning a refresh in Q1? We can help with line calibration, operator training, change-part kits, and pilot runs using your actual cans and ends. If you’re exploring new sizes (202/300/307/401) or specialty ends (EZO, sanitary, peel-off, dome, cartridge), we’ll confirm compatibility and the tooling path before you commit.
From our family in Georgia to yours—happy holidays and a successful New Year. If you’re launching a line, upgrading controls, or simply want a quick health check on your setup, we’re ready to help you make 2026 your most consistent, efficient year yet—with Dixie can seamers, retorts, and processing equipment built to protect your product and your reputation.
