One of our bottlers noticed that he could twist the crowns on our freshly-filled bottles (pry-offs). I tried adjusting the crowner on our GAI 3003A with no effect. The crowns are right where they're supposed to be tightness-wise according to my go/no go gauge.
I also tested the crown integrity by shaking the hell out of a couple of full bottles and immersing them in a bucket of very hot water. No bubbles. I'm surprised the bottles, at near 32F, didn't shatter when they hit the 180F water, but it seems there is no leakage from the crowns.
I'm thinking this is normal and we just never noticed it before. Any ideas, folks?
