Abstract (en)
A process for closing a metal can body, suitable for containing an edible product, with a can lid, to provide a metal can suitable for heating in a retort. The process comprises: placing a metal lid over and in contact with an open end of a metal can body; applying an inwardly directed mechanical force to the lid such that at least a central portion of the lid is deformed into the interior space of the metal can body; and seaming the lid to the can body to form an airtight seal between the lid and the can body.
