Identifying leaks with precision

HEUFT squeezer QA

leakage check for plastic containers

The HEUFT squeezer QA checks the tightness of plastic packages by means of a comparative fill level measurement in a compressed and non-compressed condition. For this a belt drive exerts a precisely controlled amount of pressure on the containers which are passing though freely. Gas escapes from the headspace and the fill level rises when a container has a leak. However the fill level remains almost unchanged in the case of containers without a leak. Even the smallest leaks are precisely identified in this way. Modular combinable systems monitor that the positioning and the integrity of the closures are correct as well as the presence of metal foil closures.

FUNCTIONS

• leakage check
• checking the internal pressure of the container
• overfill and underfill check
• closure inspection
• filler valve monitoring
• quantifying fill analysis
• closer head monitoring
• serial fault detection which emits a switch-off pulse
• the rejection of faulty containers

THE ADVANTAGES

• outstanding detection performance due to the unique linking of different measurement technologies
• precise adjustable pressure load due to variable belt guidance
• continuous quality assurance by means of online detection
• increased effectiveness for the filler/closer complex by means of integrated analysis tools
• wear-resistant belt guidance due to automated interval lubrication
• modular design makes an adaptation to business-related tasks possible
• hygienic construction in accordance with the HEUFT CleanDesign
• integrated future-proof network interface (Industrial Ethernet, TCP/IP)
• remote service connection via the Internet and the SQL/DDE database interface for storing all the production data
• graphic editing of the data extracted
• automatic or manual sampling
