Metal Closure Types
Threaded
Lug Style
Roll on
Press on
Crown
Friction fit
Roll on Cap threads
are formed by forcing the aluminum shell to conform to bottle finished threads.
Press on/twist off closure
utilizes a plastisol that expands during steam vapor vacuum sealing to become, in effect, a threaded closure.
Plastic Closures
Some Thermoset
Most Thermoplastic

2. closure-paper or expanded plastic-aluminum foil- heat-seal coating
Ferrite "energy directors"
are used to direct most of the field to the sealing zone
Induction sealing coils can be designed to generate differ field types.

Packaging Machinery
-Uses packages but does not make them
-Includes code marking but does not include printing in general.
Machinery converting
Makes the package, so converting operations not considered part of packaging machinery.
Often individual machines are made by different companies but must operate together in a packaging line.
Often individual machines are made by different companies but must operate together in a packaging line.
Machinery line speed
What really counts is the output
Filler is a critical operational unit in a production line and is frequently used as the benchmark from which all machine speeds are derived.
True
machines run at 100% efficiency
False
Calculating CPM
effiency of each machine x cpm of slowest machine = actual cpm
Machinery- Accumulator
Isolates the slowest station and increases output. Improves output.
The more accurate the filler, the smaller the standard deviation and closer the filler can be set to the declared fill
True
Because many containers vary slightly in their actual volumes, filling to a constant volume results in visible fill-level differences
True
Constant Fill level
Higher probability of giveaway
use for transparent packages
for inexpensive product
Constant Volume
Less giveaway
For opaque packages
expensive product
Gravity Fill
Slower than a vacuum fill and used for products that foam a little.
Vacuum Fill
Seal package to filler, starting vacuum which pulls product into package.
Pressure and vacuum fill
Used for thick and foamy products
Piston Filler
Used for thick, paste products and liquids.
Net weight fillers
Includes weight of package and product
Net Weight Fillers
Weighs product only
Gross weight fillers
faster but also has more chance of giveaway
set scale for heaviest possible package weight so you never sell underweight
90-100% of next day air parcels are dropped 30"
True
Lighter weight packages have to be dropped from lower heights.
False
Average IMPACT speed is
5 mph
Cushion(Attenuation) spreads out the intial shock out over time.
Cushion(Attenuation) spreads out the intial shock out over time
Thicker cushion absorbs more energy and allows greater static load.
Thicker cushion absorbs more energy and allows greater static load.
lower G factor = more fragile item
lower G factor = more fragile item
Structural Vibrations
higher frequencies 50+hz
