Just had the most rugged morning. As you might know, we recently set up a new canning line. It's not really up and running yet, but we put our old manual filler next to the conveyor on the new line leading into the seamer. So we're filling manually, then one person is placing caps, the cans go through the new auto seamer, get rinsed, and pile up on the collection table. We've done about 4 pallets total (360 cases, or 8,640 cans). Somewhere near the end, we noticed some of the seals were bad. We then had to go through almost every can, about 6,000 total, and squeeze them to see if they were one of the 50 that had bad seals.
This means we took every 4 pack out of the case, squeezed all 4 cans, removed any that were soft (bad seal) and repacked them into a new case, and re-stacked the pallet. Most of this was done in the cooler. Not how we're looking to start the week.
