Why pilot tests for tinplate packaging approval miss double seam microleaks in retort high-moisture foods
Why pilot tests alone fail to predict tinplate packaging approval performance in high-moisture retort foods Short pilot runs can look reassuring, yet they often miss batch variation, retort cycle fatigue, and slow coating underfilm corrosion that only surface later in shelf life. For teams approving tinplate packaging for soups, sauces, and other high-water-activity foods, the gap between early pilot results and long-term performance explains why approvals based on limited trials still lead to seam leaks, rust, and complaints months after launch. What pilot tests actually prove—and what they leave untested Pilot tests are valuable because they confirm basic line compatibility: whether tinplate cans feed, fill, and close without obvious defects, … 続きを読む
