I was visiting a friend of mine that is a beekeeper and he was showing me his bottling setup for honey.
I was curious on how it get a proper seal because honey is not hot packed. It’s slightly warmed up to 36degrees C to make it more viscous. But that’s it.
He showed me his induction sealer. I was astonished.
It seals a plastic jug with a plastic cap without melting the plastic. Seals a little metal disk right to the top.
My mind was blown. I open a million bottles of various things every year that are sealed like this. And never thought how it was done.
I’ve been struggling with the glass gallone bottles I bought 2 skids of from CDL for the past 2 years. It’s not the bottle it’s the cap that is the problem. CDL replaced all my caps the first year with brown ones. They kinda worked better. Then this year gave me white ones that apparently had a different foam in them. They actually were the worst. Popped off when tipping Them on side after maybe 1 minute.
Drives me nuts. I’ve never had 1 spoil on me. But air bubbles in the syrup don’t look good. And not knowing a perfect seal is made
My question is. Could I use induction caps on glass bottles? Somebody must of tried it.
My bottles use 31.5pp caps.
