What to include in a production review

A useful review needs the complete production result, not only a machine description. Include representative samples and the hardest normal operating case.

  • Closure drawing and production samples
  • Container neck-finish drawing
  • Application and removal requirement
  • Liner, wad or tamper feature
  • Container height and stability
  • Required closures per minute
  • Samples that represent flip-spout caps
  • A short video of the present process and fault

Questions customers also ask

Open a question for a concise answer, then use the detailed guide above for the full production checks.

What should I check first when working with flip-spout caps?

Define a measurable finished result, use representative samples and start with the first uncontrolled point in the capping and closures process.

What commonly causes production problems with flip-spout caps?

Common causes include variation in incoming product or packaging, unsuitable settings, unstable feeding, wear, contamination and a machine principle that does not suit a closure application where presentation, alignment, engagement, application force or torque, liner contact and container support determine performance for flip-spout caps..
