Expand Your Knowledge of Can Manufacturing Technology
Understanding the intricacies of can manufacturing provides you with valuable information for your business. Whether you’re a customer or a vendor, Silgan University’s Can Manufacturing 101 course decodes canning nomenclature and dives into the process of turning raw materials into high-quality Silgan cans. You can discover the differences between aluminum and steel, explore coatings for product protection, and learn how to ensure product quality and maximize shelf life. This comprehensive understanding lays the groundwork for specialized training modules.
Master the Canning Process & Avoid Costly Mistakes
A successful canning process is essential to product quality and safety. With Silgan University’s Canning 101 course, your team can expand their knowledge of industry best practices. You’ll learn about effective can-filling techniques, how to create a seam that ensures an airtight seal, thermal processing, and the final steps of labeling, casing, and shipping. This in-depth knowledge empowers you and your team to identify potential issues and optimize each step for maximum efficiency.
Learn How to Ensure Can Integrity and Product Quality
Maintaining impeccable quality standards is paramount in the canning industry. Silgan University’s Can Manufacturing 101 and Canning 101 are both great courses to start expanding your canning knowledge. But if you want to dive deeper into product quality, learning more about the seaming process can help you ensure your products are protected and ready for the shelf. Our Double Seam Evaluation course equips you with the skills to evaluate the integrity of double seams and learn about their importance to food can safety. By enhancing your knowledge of seam formation, essential measurements, and possible seam defects, you can feel confident that your product is ready to go the distance.
Boost Operational Efficiency and Reduce Costs
No matter what type of product you’re canning, issues can arise. That’s why enrolling your staff in Silgan University courses can be beneficial for your operations. Our educators can help your team build institutional knowledge that can help prevent a small issue from becoming a large one — or even avoid complications altogether. By understanding the nuances of each process, your operators can minimize downtime, reduce waste, and ensure smooth production flow. This translates into significant cost savings for your business by avoiding potential defects or contamination.
