Finally possible: the fill level of spray cans can now be checked even in potentially explosive areas. The new HEUFT development meets the ATEX criteria and bears the Ex marking.

HEUFT VX ATEX

spray cans - fill level detection and laning

Checking the fill height of spray cans and laning the container flow - this is even possible in an "explosive atmosphere" with the HEUFT VX ATEX: the system developed especially for the aerosol industry meets the ATEX criteria for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and bears the marking Ex II 3G EEX IIB T4. Therefore it is safe to use in filling areas where a hazardous mixture of air and gas can form.

FUNCTIONS

• inline overfill and underfill check in the Ex area (marking - Ex II 3G EEX IIB T4)
• serial fault detection which emits a switch-off pulse 
• quantifying in order to determine the average filling quantity
• individually definable container laning on up to three lanes
• rejects faulty spray cans
• automatic or manual sampling

THE ADVANTAGES

• safe to use in potentially explosive filling areas due to the strict separation of the control and detection unit
• X-ray technology for precisely checking the fill level of aerosol containers
• an efficiency increasing alternative to the traditional weighing systems 
• maximum detection accuracy independent of the line speed
• higher output at lower transport speed due to considerably smaller container gaps
