CCP at capping bottle and sealing
I have already been audit and got CAR about CCP at capping and sealing points. We set CL = no incomplete capping or sealing but auditors said CL should be measurable so, could anyone give me an idea what should I change CL to be a number that we can measure them. Thank you in advance.
Dear latchaporn,
Could you give us an idea of the product / process ?
And Yes, CCP/CLs are usually quantitative. Otherwise > OPRP (if ISO 22000).

if you use PET Bottle you can use
- capping angle
- open torque
so you can use quantitative number
My products are coconut water for capping and coconut meat for sealing. Do I need to buy a torque tester? I use PET bottle for coconut water and vacuum sealing in pouch
Thank you all for helping

Sorry but I couldn't understand yr reply. Insufficient process detail.

My product is coconut water filled in the PET bottle and capping the bottle is a one of my CCP
another product is coconut meat filled in the pouch and sealing the pouch is my next CCP

Dear latchaporn,
OK, thks, that helps a bit.
For canning the answer would relate to minimum overlap specs, achieved vacua etc.
Bottles / pouches not my direct area but the answer to yr query sounds like basic textbook in principle, eg maybe as per post #2. :dunno:
Hopefully someone in the business can answer shortly with some typical numbers / links (hint, hint !) although relevant data may relate to the specific bottles / pouches in use. And, as per canning, i expect the appropriate tools will be necessary. i still have sad memories of one canning factory measuring overlap statistics with a 12in.ruler.

Really thx Charles for yr kindness.
I second what Denny said. You will need to verify the capping angle and measure sealed bottle torque.
Kind Regards,
Setanta
The normal test for seal strength on lidding is mechanical peel and burst (under vacuum).
There is machinery available, but it costs.
for capping angle, you can use protactor by sampling after cooling,
but first you must set static torque in your filling machine,
after that checking again capping angle
let me check that my filing machine has a static torque function or not ? and then what should i do next?
Best regards,
Bew
what kind your machine type?
what kind your cap do you use? shortneck? twopiece or onepiece?
different cap will be different setting static torque
