Madras Fisheries Bureau. Remarks on Canning

1921

3. Here then is the raison (-Mire, the reason for and the object, of the Government fish canning operations and cannery, viz. , the stimulation, instruction, and aid of private enterprise, the prevention Of discouragement and loss to those interested in the industry, the provision of expert knowledge and staff. [...] Consequently there was a strong case for a State undertaking, in order that information might be gained as to the various materials available and the methods of obtaining and dealing with them, as to the technology of the combined industries of canning and can-making, as to the nature of the goods manufactured or possible from the materials, as to the markets and their several tastes and wishes, a [...] If the areas of the plates are not carefully adapted to the intended size of the cans, so as to get the maximum number of bodies or tops and bottoms with the minimum of waste strips, the cans will be costly and the metal wasted. [...] When the bodies are duly packed with fish, they are brought to a fourth machine called a double seamer ', the covers are laid on the bodies, and the machine then clamps the cover and body together in a seam by turning the edge or rim of the cover under the lower edge of the flange of the body—the rubber washer being between them—and then forcing the two flanges together in a hermetical joint. [...] The can which is thus a cylinder open at the top to its full width, is then packed with the goods, and the cover, which is a replica of the bottom, is sealed on to the flanged top in the same way as the bottom.
