Abstract
An apparatus for closing fluid containers includes a rotary gassing station. In the rotary gassing station, at least one container containing a quantity of fluid within an interior space thereof receives a quantity of gas in the interior space. A rotary seaming station is positioned proximate to the rotary gassing station. In the rotary seaming station, a lid is seamed to an opening of the container to seal the quantity of fluid and the quantity of gas in the interior space. At least one container piston of the rotary seaming station is movable around a center axis of the rotary seaming station. The container piston holds the container between a first radial position when the container is within the rotary gassing station to at least a second radial position when a lid is seamed to an opening of the container in the rotary seaming station.
