4 types of liquid filling
bag-in-boxasepticcarbonatedstill TERM 2
Bag-In-Box
DEFINITION 2 manual,semi-auto, fully autovarious types of processing proceduresCan have advanced features such as: cooling tunnel for hot bags, specialized valve to allow filling large particulates, and steam sterilization for aseptic filling TERM 3
Aseptic Packaging
DEFINITION 3 Aseptic processing is the process by which a sterile product (typically food or pharmaceutical) is packaged in a sterile container in a way that maintains sterility.Sealed off from rest of plant, HTST,Traditional: Sterilize after filling and sealingAseptic: Sterilize product before TERM 4
Carbonated Liquids
DEFINITION 4 Dissolved gasses, same viscosity but special handling, fill under pressure, container is part of the control of net contents.Must be filled to prevent foaming, foaming is uncontrolled fill level. TERM 5
Still
DEFINITION 5 rigid and semi-rigidpreformed containers (glass bottles, cans, plastic, preformed paper cartons) not dealing with f-f-s
2 methods of filling
Sealed: filling device seals positively against containerUnsealed: Container is left open to the atmosphere during the fill TERM 7
Delivery of
Containers
DEFINITION 7 In bulk:palletized, jumbled in boxes (unscrambled) bags In reshippers:emptied by hand, emptied by machine (case unloader) mainly glass or plastic may be right side up or inverted TERM 8

Cappers for CT closures
DEFINITION 17 Hand Cappers/ hand tightenersSingle spindle (single head) / intermittent motion cappersstraight line continuous motionrotary continuous motion(all apply mechanically) TERM 18
Torque Control
DEFINITION 18 chucks or spinning wheelspneumatic and mechanical combos-l c-m is all mechanical TERM 19
Pneumatic Chuck
DEFINITION 19 round flexible ring with hole in the center, cap enters hole when ring is in the relaxed state (no air pressure) TERM 20
Air Pressure
DEFINITION 20 ring compresses and grips while it is moved to the bottles and screwed on, torque controlled by pneumatic clutch
Hand Cappers
low production, unusual caps, 20/min, useful for pump/trigger cap applications or retorque after induction sealing TERM 22
Single Spindle (single head) I.M. motion
cappers
DEFINITION 22 pneumatic or manual, 60/min, short runs, limited versatility, may cause spillage in some containers (wide mouth) TERM 23
Straight Line Continuous motion
DEFINITION 23 Torque control clutches built into multiple spindle heads that trun rollers to apply caps.Never stops, speed limited by conveyor60-300/mincan use multiple spindles to increase ratesadv. over rotary: do not require change parts, size can be changed with little down time. TERM 24
Rotary Continuous motion
DEFINITION 24 Use many heads, 40-700/minhigher speed = more heads 700 cpm=24 heads TERM 25

Case Delivery
DEFINITION 38 knocked down (KD) MFG joint: stiched glued1) cases in magazine on machine2) machine selects case stack pushed down, case drops vacuum cup pickup pusher bar
- case opened pushed against stop vacuum pickup
- bottom closed inner flaps tucked in glue applied outerflaps folded over held shut until glue sets or taped top loaded cases rotated into position
- cases may be set up by hand lettuce in field TERM 39
Case Loading
DEFINITION 39 1)Product delivered by conveyor guided into position dividers lane guides sensors detect tipped or problems
- Side loading system vertical or horizontal single/multiple tiers pusher bar moves product into case case closed and sealed
- Top loading system products dropped into open case lowered into case (held by top, held by sides) TERM 40 case closed and seadled
Case
Closing
DEFINITION 40
- Filled case on conveyor2) Close inner flaps plow down leading flap tucker bar to close trailing flap
- adhesive applied to outside of inner flaps spot lines spray hot melt 25% cold melt 50%
