Sift Test ObjectiveSift Test Objective
• To confirm new product’s sift-resistance level • To ensure customers’ comfort level with eliminating
a liner from the package using FlapMate closure
Sift Test ProceduresSift Test Procedures
1. Torque Meter measures the torque of a closure on a bottle in inch-pounds.
3. The package is placed into a fixture so that the bottle stays in place when the test is conducted.
4. The configuration is placed into a sieve shaker. The test is conducted for one minute.
2. A Heat Gun is used to shrink the tamper-evident band around the bottle and closure.
Sifting LevelsSifting Levels
Level 3: Dusting – Increased particle count, one layer of beads or product, too many to count.
Level 4: Sifting – Accumulated particles, multiple layers and deposits, possibly measurable by weight.
No sift under the band
Small amount of sift above
the center cleanout
One layer of product above the front curve
Multiple layers of product above the
front curve
Level 1: No visible siftLevel 2: Particles – Visually definable individual
media glass beads or product, plenty of space surrounding product, countable.
