Q
  1. Select 10 containers of uniform size and type, clean the sealing surface.
  2. Close and open each container 30 times. Apply the closure firmly and uniformly each time the container is closed.
  3. Add desiccant to eight of the containers, designated as test containers, filling to within 13 mm of the closure if the container volume is 20 ml or more, or filing each to two thirds of capacity if the container volume is less than 20 ml.
  4. Close each container immediately after
    adding the desiccant
  5. To each of the two remaining
    containers, designated as controls, add
    sufficient glass
    beads to attain a weight approximately
    equal to that of the test containers.
  6. Record the weight of the prepared
    individual containers
  7. Store in a container with relative humidity of 75±3% relative humidity that is achieved by a saturated system of 35 grams of sodium chloride with each 100 ml of water placed in the bottom of a dessicator
  8. After 14 days, record the weight of the
    individual containers in the same manner
  9. Completely fill 5 containers of the same size and type as the containers under test with water

Adv. Of Plastic bottles:

A
  1. cheap
  2. convenient
  3. lightweight
  4. shatterproof
  5. recyclable
88
Q

Disadvantages of Plastic:

A
  1. not safe for hot liquids/ for use in
    dishwashers and in microwaves
  2. Some tougher, reusable plastic bottles
    may contain Bisphenol A, a polycarbonate
    believed to cause cancer.
  3. Many of it end up in landfills, instead of
    being recycled.
  4. It takes thousand of years for a plastic to
    biodegrade, and the degrading process
    emits toxic chemicals into the air.
  5. Alter the properties of certain contents
    because of the chemical reaction that
    appear in time between the artificial
    structure of the plastic and the content of
    the product.
89
Q

Advantages of Glass Containers

A
  1. quality of the material
  2. glass has the purity of structure that makes any
    interaction of the stored product impossible.
    3.greater advantage of preserving a certain
    temperature for a longer period of time
  3. glass bottles do not affect the structure of the
    environment by their chemical composition.
  4. can protect the product from air , moisture and
    light.
90
Q

Disadvantages of glass containers

A
  1. it is fragile, glass fragments can be released
    into the product during transport and upon

92
Q

is measured on-line and each
bottle is tested individually. The object of the
test is to pass the bottle through 2 vertical
plates/pads, which squeeze/stress the bottle to a pre-determined level. Any bottle, which can not tolerate the predetermined stress level will break and is then discarded/recycled

A

Impact strength

93
Q

Bottles are passed in front of a
viewing screen as a final inspection.

A

Visual Check

94
Q

A test carried out
on bottles which will be filled with
carbonated beverages and gauges the internal
pressure of every bottle before it is packed.

A

Hydraulic Pressure Tester

95
Q

This test uses
dielectric properties of the glass, the wall
thickness can be determined by means of a
sensitive head which traverses the body
section of the container. A trace of the wall
thickness is then obtained and bottles falling
below a specified minimum will be
automatically rejected

A

Wall Thickness Detector

96
Q

Focuses a beam of light onto areas of the container where defects are known to
occur from previous visual examinations, any crack will reflect the light to a detector, which will trigger a mechanism to reject the bottle.

A

Check Detector

97
Q

The internal and external diameter
at the neck finish entrance to the bottle and the
bottle height are measured. Bottles outside
specification are automatically rejected by means
of a pusher positioned downstream from the
gauger.

A

Bore Gauger

98
Q

This machine is pre-set to create a
space between the bottles on the conveyer to avoid bottle to bottle contact

A

Bottle Spacer

99
Q

Each bottle is passed between discs that exert a force to the body of the
container. Any obvious weakness or crack in the bottle will cause it to fail completely with the resulting cullet being collected by a return conveyor running underneath.
