What is Evaluation of Can Microseam Resistance when Submitted to Mechanical Abuse about?

Microseaming is a significant technological development in the can manufacturing process that has been employed in the packaging of tomato processed products in Brazil. It was developed by the Brazilian company Grupo Kramer i n 1990. Due t o its reduced dimensions in relation t o the traditional can closing . system, i.e. the conventional double seam, microseam mechanical resistance as well as its capability t o guarantee package integrity when submitted t o processing and distribution remain questionable. In this study microseam resistance was compared t o conventional double seam resistance when submitted t o mechanical abuse through a standardized impact on the seam region positioned at angles of 45 and 67". As evaluation parameters of closing integrity loss after impact swelling resulting from the cans external contact with a bacterial suspension, internal vacuum loss and can centre depth changes were used. The microseam presented a performance comparable t o the conventional double seam for the impact at 45", whereas a t 67" its performance was found t o be superior. This superior microseam performance can be credited t o its being more malleable, i.e., to its greater capabili
