Analysis and solution of retort pouch broke

Common materials for making retort bags include PET, AL,BOPA, RCPP, etc. These materials have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of mechanical properties (stretching, peeling, impact resistance, etc.) and physical properties (moisture barrier, oxygen barrier, cold and heat resistance, etc.). Therefore, in production, two-layer, three-layer or multi-layer composite structures are used according to the type and requirements of the contents to obtain the best performance.

However, the problem of bag breakage still occurs. Conventional retort bagged foods adopt the following production process: raw material acceptance → processing → bagging → vacuuming → hot melt sealing → inspection → heating sterilization → cooling → dry packaging, among which bag breakage often occurs in the heating sterilization and cooling stages.

Because the bagging stage requires the filling amount to be lower than the bag capacity to prevent the influence of sealing contamination on the heat sealing quality, and the bag cannot reach an absolute vacuum state during the vacuuming stage, these two situations will cause a certain amount of gas to remain in the retort bag. When the vacuum-treated retort bag is heated at high temperature, the water content of the bag evaporates to form water vapor, which expands together with the remaining gas in the bag due to heat, and the pressure rises suddenly. When it exceeds the maximum pressure that the retort bag can withstand, the weak part of the bag will first break. In addition, there is also a risk of bag breaking during the cooling process. When the cooling water enters the retort pot, the pressure outside the bag drops sharply, but since the contents of the bag cannot be cooled synchronously, the pressure inside and outside differs by several times, which will inevitably cause bag breaking accidents.

Spout pouches cases

Henan Baolai Packaging Six years ago, we found that the retort bags broke in the following parts: breaking from the heat-sealed edge; breaking from the inside of the heat-sealed edge; breaking from the inner layer inside the heat-sealed edge due to the delamination of the heat-sealed layer and the outer layer.

In response to these phenomena, Henan Baolai Packaging Co., Ltd. has adopted strict production procedures. Composite films with different film materials and structures have different heat-sealing parameters. We conduct heat-sealing strength tests on retort bag samples before production to determine the rationality of the test heat-sealing parameters and select the best parameter combination.

Our factory has established a product quality control system guided by experiments and guaranteed by random inspections to fundamentally prevent bag breakage accidents.
