The cam followers include cam follower bearings adapted for receiving a portion of individual metal lids thereagainst. A plurality of sealant guns are mounted on the starwheel. The sealant guns are under computer control and are disposed next to said cam followers. The sealant guns apply the sealant inside the metal lids. A motor driven magnetic wheel is mounted on top of the tabletop and disposed under the starwheel. The magnetic wheel is driven in an opposite direction from the starwheel. A circumference of the magnetic wheel is adapted for engaging a portion of the metal lids as the metal lids are spun on top of the tabletop.
