ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for testing, determining, and adjusting a closing torque of a container closing machine. The method involves at least partially unscrewing a screw cap or closure in the closing machine and measuring an opening torque used to at least partially unscrew said screw cap or closure. The measured opening torque is then compared with a desired range of opening torque and an adjustment of the closing torque for the particular closing device is calculated and performed such that, upon the closing device screwing screw caps or closures on containers in a run of containers, the closed containers are openable using an opening torque within the desired range of opening torque.
