Part 3/9:
Once mixed, the liquid is transferred to a piston filler, which operates like a giant syringe to dispense the precise amount needed into empty jars. The piston filler, equipped with one-way valves, exemplifies the careful engineering that enables Evan to maintain accuracy and consistency in his product. With this unique mechanism, each jar is filled methodically, ready to be sealed.
Sealing and Labeling: The Finishing Touches
After filling, the next stage in the process involves sealing the jars. Evan employs an induction sealer, a clever machine that uses heat to melt the wax on the underside of the foil lid, creating a tight seal. This not only prevents leaks during shipping but also enhances the product's presentation—a critical factor in consumer markets.
