Problems regarding Process Filing Forms

There are some problems to fill this forms.

Container Information:

2-pieces or 3-pieces

Question1: What is the meaning of pieces?

Enter Critical factors

Question 2: What is the meaning of matting tendency?

Thank you for your help.

I think you need to provide more information on the forms you are trying to complete.

Hello,

Type of container you use. 3-pieces means it consist of top, bottom end and body while 2-pieces consist of body and top end only (e.g. deep drawn can).

It's about your product's characteristic especially during thermal process.

"Product matting or clumping may change heat-penetration characteristics and influence coldspot location. Also, caution should be exercised with sliced products which may stack together during processing" ( http://www.inspectio...09083903?chap=9 )

Good luck :smile:

Dear avila muncar,

Thks for above link which contains useful material.

I presume the document is still current although the page itself seems undated and the content includes some rather antique references.  However i daresay the basic process knowledge has not changed that much in last 20 years. i would have expected the equipment (and cans) to display some changes though?. :smile:
