filtec's Pressure/Leak Detector: No belts, mess, or contamination.

Sept. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Torrance, CA.  -  filtec has revolutionized the way bottles are inspected for low pressure caused by misplaced caps, stress cracks, pinholes and other defects in PET and HDPE containers – whether they hold carbonated beverages, LN2 dosed water, teas or juices. The filtec Pressure/Leak Detector uses a beltless system, so there’s no squeezing of the bottles to detect improper pressure – eliminating the possibility of product spillage from defective bottles and the resulting belt contamination.

With only a single moving part, the Pressure/Leak Detector is virtually maintenance-free. Instead of using belts that frequently need to be adjusted, each bottle is firmly supported by precisely positioned guide rails while being inspected by an intelligent sensor utilizing a proprietary algorithm. This enables the Pressure/Leak Detector to give an immediate and reliable read. When the pressure is outside the acceptable limits, a defect is indicated, and the bottle is rejected from the line

The Pressure/Leak Detector is also extremely cost-effective to operate. In addition to being belt-free, it is airless which reduces utility costs. Its small footprint makes installation in existing lines quick and easy, and precision-fitted parts make changeovers a snap – eliminating expensive downtime.

The Pressure/Leak Detector connects to any existing filtec fill level inspection system using the same rejector, and ships with filtec’s full-featured color touch screen SPT Interface to complete the package.
