Abstract:
1. Method for closing containers with closures, which comprise a tamper-proof strip, by means of a closing device, wherein the closures are rotated onto mouths of the containers for closing purposes, wherein, for closing the containers, a final torque is used, with which the closing operation is completed, and said final torque is lower than a maximum torque, which is applied at least once during the entire closing operation, wherein for at least one period of time during the closing operation, a torque of the closing device is not affected in a limiting manner, wherein at least one characteristic variable of a torque of the closing device is measured and changes in the characteristic variable during the closing operation are determined, wherein, when the torque decreases during closing, the final torque is set, and wherein a predetermined limit value for the characteristic variable is determined and when this predetermined limit value is reached, the closure is rotated further by one of a predefined rotation angle or for a predefined duration.
