Clamp and Pressure Controls in Tin Packages

In general, packaging affects the quality stability and identification of a product. The packaging provides adequate protection and minimizes component loss. At the same time, it should not interact with the product it protects physically or chemically in a way that will change its content and quality or create a risk of toxicity.

Various tests are carried out in advanced laboratories to determine the quality, integrity and compatibility of packaging materials. The specification and necessity of quality testing depends on the type of materials used.

The main tests applied to packaging materials can be:

• Chemical tests (pH value of chloride and sulfate materials in paper or cardboard, alkalinity of glass and compatibility with chemicals)
• Mechanical standard tests for wrinkling, folding and similar effects
• Environmental tests (water absorption, light transmittance and permeability to water vapor, gases, oils, odors and similar)

Meanwhile, the tests applied to the packaging itself are as follows:

• Mechanical tests are mainly applied to the outer packaging to protect the product inside from transportation hazards. A standard test procedure is used to compare the effect of different protective materials to prevent damage to the contents.
• In environmental tests, packages are subjected to conditions that reproduce the environment and evaluations are made at appropriate intervals.

Especially in tin cans, clamping and pressure controls are important in this respect. Metal packaging is generally made of two materials: aluminum and tin (sheets of steel). The tin is covered with tin and organic lacquer, so direct contact of the steel with the food is prevented. In this way, corrosion-resistant metal packages are produced.

To ensure that tin packaging conforms to product specifications, environmentalIt is subjected to various tests in terms of equipment and the properties of the products in the process.

The ideal requirements for reliable tin packaging are:

• It must be able to hold the product without losing it due to leakage, deterioration or seepage.
• During storage, it should protect against environmental conditions such as light, air and humidity.
• It should not be permeable to gases.
• It must have the strength to withstand handling, shipping, and similar shocks.
• The material should not interact with the content.
• It should provide protection against mold, bacteria and similar factors.
• The lid should ensure that it closes hermetically.

Our company, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, also provides clamping and pressure control services in tin packaging with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
