Filled bottles with leaks are often difficult to detect. The HEUFT exciter foams up a product by emission of ultrasonic and if the container is faulty its contents will leak out. A downstream fill level check can then detect this fault.
Functions
generation of ultrasonic oscillations
transfer of the oscillations to the bottle by means of an oscillation metal rail
Typical areas of use
lines for filling sweet drinks containing carbon dioxide into plastic bottles
lines for filling beer into cliplock bottles
Technical details
An ultrasonic generator has been especially developed for this task
The escillation amplitude is adjustable for adapting to the various brands
the low–friction oscillationg rail is almost abrasion–free
sprinkling jets are pricided in order to improve the transfer of the oscillations to the bottle
an adjustment unit is available for adapting to cone–shaped bottles
The advantages
it is possible to detect even the smallest leaks with a downstream fill level check
packages are not soiled by leading products
a water bath is not required for transferring the oscillations
the fast build–up of pressure in a plastic bottle stabilizes the bottle and results in an improvement to the subsequent transport and labelling process
bottles are able to glide along the rail without impact pressure
