Meaning of jam-up | Babel Free

Definitions

The situation where material becomes jammed in a machine, or some process similarly grinds to a halt.

Examples

“The rationale goes something like this: Increasing line speeds, complex packaging equipment, and ever-lighter-weight containers and packaging materials make jam-ups likely—usually many per day.”

“Record the number and location of jam-ups, the number of cans inspected and the number of metal fragments found.”
