2. Principle of the crimping operation
Crimping consists in tightly joining a can body to a base. The operation requires dedicated equipment: a can seamer.
To guarantee the tightness of his crimp, the canner must master crimping and know the technical vocabulary describing dimensional characteristics and the main defects. He must also carry out a series of checks at regular intervals, and in all cases, each check must be recorded in the crimping register.
