Getting it done today. Rebooting our grain masters after discovering the majority of the seals on the bags we've been using had tiny holes due to presence of moisture at sealing. This resulted in an undesirable wild card of contamination making it's way into our production runs. By letting bags cool in front of laminar flow instead of in the pressure cookers the moisture in the neck of the bags evaporated resulting in an actually sealed bag. The faulty seals were almost undetectable except for squeezing the bag and having your face close enough to hear or feel the tiny jet of escaping air. I imagine if I saw these tiny holes in the seal under a microscope compared to the size of a mold and or bacteria spore/endo spore it would look like a contamination highway. It only caused sporadic disruption but sincerely hoping we have closed one vector of contamination. 🤞
