English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Preservation and Canning
CONT

Flipper: a can that normally appears flat; when brought down sharply on its end on a flat surface, one end flips out. When pressure is applied to this end, it flips in again and the can appears flat. Flippers result from a lack of vacuum.

CONT

Normally, the two ends of the food can should be flat indicating partial vacuum. If pressure develops inside, the ends bulge and the extent of bulging can lead to a flipper, a springer, a soft swell or a hard swell depending on the pressure inside the can.

CONT

The words "flipper," "springer," "swell," etcetera are used rather loosely by the canning trade.
