If your brand lives or dies by freshness, oxygen control, and repeatable seals, the Dixie Model UVG+MD-AL-HMI was built for you. It’s a next-generation, chambered double can seamer that combines vacuum, inert gas flush, and positive-pressure inert gas capabilities with a powerful 7″ HMI touchscreen—so you can dial in low-oxygen packaging with confidence, batch after batch. Think R&D precision with production reliability, in a format sized for specialty lines, pilot plants, and small- to mid-scale manufacturing.
This model includes all the functions of the MultiFlush UVGMD and adds two new positive-pressure operating modes—allowing you to pull a vacuum and then add a positive inert gas flush up to 26 PSI. Pair that with vacuum up to 28″ Hg, CE/UL compliance, and a rugged .75 HP gearhead motor with electronically controlled clutch-brake, and you get a seamer that protects product quality while simplifying validation and reporting.
Why oxygen control matters (and how UVG+MD-AL-HMI nails it)
Oxygen is the enemy of flavor, aroma, texture, and stability in many products—coffee (whole bean and ground), nutritional powders, infant formulas, medical devices, seafood, premium teas, nutraceuticals, and more. The UVG+MD-AL-HMI gives you six operating modes to match the exact oxygen-exposure profile you need:
-
Atmospheric
-
Vacuum Only
-
Vacuum with Inert Gas Flush
-
Multiflush up to 11 Vac/Gas cycles
-
Positive Pressure Inert Gas Flush (up to 26 PSI)
-
Positive Pressure Inert Gas Multiflush (with timed delays)
With programmable dwell (timed delays) from 0.1 to 9.9 seconds, you can fine-tune your sequence—vacuum level, gas type, number of cycles, and dwell times—to hit your oxygen targets consistently. The machine hermetically seams the can after all programmable functions complete, ensuring the closure happens only once your cycle spec is met.
Touch, set, run: the MULTIVERSA Command Center (7″ HMI)
The 7″ HMI touchscreen is your control room. Select the function, set values, cycles, and time delays with a tap. You’ll monitor vacuum and inert gas parameters in real time during each seaming cycle, and the system counts cans closed in each of the six operating cycles. For repeat production, save up to six cook/pack “recipes” per operating mode for near-instant setup.
For QA and compliance, all temperature/pressure/time data (COOK LOG) can be saved to a .CSV on the PC, and the system supports up to 12 independent “T” type thermocouples, with temperatures displayed on the control panel and saved to the log. An independent RTD feeds the chart recorder. You also get maintenance reminders every 5,000 cans, keeping uptime high and surprises low.
Positive-pressure modes: added safety, added capability
The two Positive Pressure Operating Functions include features the vacuum/gas modes don’t:
-
A Light Curtain Device and pneumatic door clamp assemblies that keep the chamber door secured while positive inert gas is applied.
-
Before positive inert gas flush begins, the chamber is vacuumed to at least −3 PSI (≈ −6.108″ Hg). In these modes, vacuum setpoints are entered as negative PSI (−PSI)—Dixie provides a quick conversion for inches of mercury to −PSI for programming and reporting.
Result: You can drive oxygen down, then backfill with an inert atmosphere under positive pressure—ideal for especially oxygen-sensitive products or those that benefit from advanced multi-flush profiles.
Built for specialty and small-batch versatility
-
Can size range: < 2″ up to 6-1/4″ diameter, up to 15″ tall
-
Footprint: 28″ × 34″ × 82″ H (compact enough for tight production rooms)
-
Shipping weight: Approx. 800 lbs (Export boxing w/15″ chamber: ~850 lbs, request quotation)
-
Power: 110/115 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 20 amps (transformer/vacuum pump options available for 220/50 or 60 Hz/1 Ph)
-
Air: 90 PSI / 5 CFM required
-
Certifications: CE/UL rated
-
Drive: .75 HP gearhead motor, electronically controlled clutch-brake, air lift, integrated vacuum system
With the right change parts (tooling), this can seamer has the ability to close virtually any size can, including dome-type lids and small formats below 2″ (customization available—request quotation). That makes it a flexible platform for brands with diverse SKUs or seasonal/market-test runs.
Applications that benefit immediately
-
Coffee (whole bean & ground): Vacuum + inert gas flush (single or multi-flush) helps lock in aromatics and volatile compounds while minimizing staling.
-
Premium teas and botanicals: Prevent oxidation and preserve delicate notes using multi-flush routines.
-
Nutritional powders & infant formula: Oxygen and moisture control for stability, safety, and taste.
-
Medical devices & pharma/nutraceuticals: Controlled atmosphere packaging and hermetic integrity for sensitive devices and actives.
-
Seafood & specialty foods: Pair with thermal processing where applicable; protect flavor and texture with gas profiles before seam.
-
Industrial & specialty: Desiccant-assisted, low-oxygen packaging for moisture- and oxygen-sensitive components.
Because the UVG+MD-AL-HMI performs all programmed vacuum/gas steps before the lid is joined and double-seamed, you get the right atmosphere inside the can before hermetic closure—no compromises.
What sets the UVG+MD-AL-HMI apart
-
Positive Inert Gas Flush up to 26 PSI and Positive Inert Gas MultiFlush (up to 3 cycles) for ultra-low O₂ targets.
-
Vacuum/Gas MultiFlush from 28″ Hg to 1″ Hg—up to 11 cycles—for precise O₂ reduction and impurity removal.
-
Programmable dwell (0.1–9.9 s) and mode-specific recipes for reproducible results.
-
HMI quick-reference operator manual right on the screen—reduce training time and operator errors.
-
Maintenance reminders at 5,000-can intervals to keep preventive care on schedule.
-
Data you can defend: CSV logs, thermocouple integration, chart recorder compatibility.
All of this is wrapped in Dixie’s hallmark build quality and support—hermetic seams produced only after your programmed cycle completes, and Dixie Double Can Seamers engineered to hermetically seam lightweight metal tops onto round, rigid containers of various sizes, types, and styles with precision.
Seam it like you mean it: simple, repeatable operation
Operating the UVG+MD-AL-HMI is straightforward:
-
Select the operating mode on the HMI.
-
Set vacuum levels, gas flush pressure, number of cycles, and any timed delays.
-
Position the filled can and lid.
-
Close the chamber door and press Start on the HMI.
-
The system executes the programmed steps precisely and repetitiously before the lid is joined and the can is double-seamed hermetically.
Whether you’re sealing smaller formats at atmospheric conditions or executing multi-flush routines under positive pressure, the machine handles the sequence exactly the same way, every time.
