In brief

Agree representative yoghurt variants, filling temperatures, pot and lid or film formats, target fill quantities and production conditions before the trial. Record how fill quantity, the seal area and the finished pack will be judged.

Define normal, difficult and fault conditions, planned format changes and cleaning requirements. Agree the acceptable result, the record to keep and the response when a finished pack falls outside the agreed range.

On the production floor

Turn your production information into clearer decisions — Yoghurt Pot Fillers

Use the agreed trial method, repetitions, acceptable range and result record to assess the complete pot denesting, dosing and sealing route. Keep the production team validation responsibilities clear.

What to record

Finished-Pack Checks and Reject Handling: condition, range and effect on your process

Current condition

Describe how you observe or measure finished-pack checks and reject handling in your operation, including sample condition and any measuring limits. For a project focused on yoghurt pot filling and lidding, also record the production state in which each observation was made.

Realistic range

For Yoghurt Pot Fillers, include normal production conditions, credible extremes, product or part variants and changes over time.

Effect on the system

Show which settings, safeguards, maintenance tasks, decisions or required outcomes are affected by changes in finished-pack checks and reject handling.

Before you contact us

Five questions about finished-pack checks and reject handling for your application

  1. Who can confirm this information?Identify the person responsible for finished-pack checks and reject handling in production, quality, engineering or operations.
  2. How representative is the sample?Include age, supplier, batch, environment and upstream process state where they affect yoghurt pot fillers.
  3. What is the difficult condition?Include the slow, reflective, flexible, dirty, damaged, marginal or uncommon case that your system must still handle.
  4. How will you judge the result?Agree the method, repetitions, acceptable range, result record and the response if the observed result falls outside the agreed range.
  5. What else must be coordinated?Your final yoghurt pot fillers scope must also account for cleaning, access and changeover method, finished-pack checks and reject handling, current regulations and the conditions at your site.

Review finished-pack checks and reject handling as part of the complete system

Question 1

Product Variants and Filling Temperature

State the yoghurt variants and filling temperatures to be used in the trial. Include representative normal and difficult samples and any product differences the filling and lidding trial must cover.

Question 2

Pot, Lid and Film Specifications

Provide the actual pot sizes and specifications, together with the lids or sealing film. Include the full format range for the pot denesting and sealing trials.

Question 3

Target Fill Quantity

State the target fill quantity for each pot format and the finished-pack checks needed to confirm the result during trials.

Question 4

Required Output and Production Pattern

Describe routine output requirements, short runs and planned format changes so the agreed trial reflects the production pattern the line must handle.

Question 5

Cleaning, Access and Changeover Method

Set out cleaning, allergen and product changeover requirements. Include access needs and identify the production team validation responsibilities.

Question 6

Finished-Pack Checks and Reject Handling

Trial pot denesting, dosing and sealing together with representative product and packaging. Check the seal area and finished pack using an agreed method, acceptable range and result record.
