High Speed Leak Tester for Food Cans

Tuesday, November 01, 2005 by Bonfiglioli Engineering

Italian Company Bonfiglioli Engineering has delivered and installed an in-line automatic leak tester type RLD 230R for food cans at a speed of 1200 cans per minute.

Testing is done automatically by sealing the top of the can and pressurizing with a very low pressure. Micro leaks will result a drop in pressure inside the can. Special sensors analyze the pressure pattern and faulty leaking containers will be removed accordingly with a high speed reject mechanism. The testing heads would also contain a Volume Reducer to minimize the testing volume inside the can as to maximize the leak detection sensitivity. The machine is highly precise and highly repeatable with a very low energy and compressed air consumption.

Bonfiglioli Engineering has been operating since 1974 with great success in the market of leak testing machines. The experience built up and constant attention towards new technologies, have allowed the company to set itself as a valid point of reference at world level in the market for designing and building leak testers, for the can-making, beverage, food and pharmaceutical sectors.
