RECYCLED PACKAGING

RECYCLED PACKAGING

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and recycled PET (rPET) packaging materials need to go through some tests and analyzes in order to determine parameters such as durability, whether they have been recycled before, and the purity of the packaging material.
PAPER

PAPER

Packaging materials obtained from many raw materials are used in food products. One of the most used materials today is paper, which is especially used for disposable packaging. Paper packages must go through some tests and analyzes to determine their physical durability.
METAL

METAL

Metal packaging is used especially for foods that are used in canned food, which are more affected by environmental factors and can be used for long-term storage. Products such as cheese, olives, corn, and peas are the products in which tin packaging is used the most.
PLASTIC

PLASTIC

Today, plastic is the most used packaging material due to its cheapness and ease of use. It is the type of packaging that we see most often on the market shelves, especially in single-use packaging.
GLASS

GLASS

Many materials, especially paper, metal and plastic, are used as packaging materials. However, especially in recent years, glass packaging is preferred because it is safer in terms of health. It is preferred in terms of security. However, since it comes into contact with food for a long time, it needs to pass some tests and analyzes.

Determination of Grip Ratio in Tin Cans

Determination of Grip Ratio in Tin Cans

Determination of Grip Ratio in Tin Cans

Tin packaging, which is widely used in food and beverage packaging, especially in the food industry, undergoes many physical tests before it is ready for use. One of these tests is “Determination of Grip Ratio in Tin Cans”.

Grip, by definition, is the degree of overlap of the body and cap hooks. The length of the grip, lid and body hooks is a function of can thickness and clamp height. The optimum grip rate in canned seams is 50%. The clamping ratio of usable good quality clamps should be between 45-65%. If the clamping ratio is less than 45% and more than 75%, the clamps should not be used.

When calculating the clamping ratio in tin cans, sections are taken as samples from certain parts of the clamp. Sections taken should be taken from different points expressing the clamp. Afterwards, % Grip ratio can be calculated according to body hook, lid hook, lid tin thickness, seam height (depth), body hook properties.
