A patinated closure is a term used in the packaging industry, especially in the metal packaging industry. Refers to a defect in the sealing process of cans and lids, where the closure is not performed correctly and may appear to be slipped or uneven. This problem can be caused by several factors, such as lack of proper lubrication, misalignment of machine parts, or excessive wear of the closing wheels.
To solve this problem, it is important to regularly check and adjust the closing machines, make sure that the closing wheels are in good condition and well aligned, and that the closing levers and the closing head are working properly. Also, ensure that lubrication is adequate to avoid excessive friction that can cause skidding.
If you are experiencing slipping seal problems on your production line, you may need to consult your machine manual or contact a qualified technician for assistance in identifying and solving the problem.
