Leak tester LT1 is based on an AND&OR electronicequipment
Its main mechanical characteristics are:
1. Metallic structure built in stainless steel.
2. Lateral test conveyors, adjustable in positionthanks to a manual wheel or knob, which allows its adjustment without using any tools.
3. Fairing and protection according to the 2006/42/EC standard.
Working principle
Its working principle is based on thecalculation of the pressure gradient,measured laterally when the bottleis passing through the machine bytwo charge photocells of 5-15kgwith 6,000 divisions (detecting leaksup to ø0.1mm in 1L bottles). Thisalso allows the self-checking theequipment without being affected byany atmospheric changes.
Application
• Detection of cap defects or wrong capping.
• Detection of bottle leaks.
The command central unit has the following generalcharacteristics:
• Automatic calibration.
• Parameters programming by touch panel: rejection delays and timings, type of bottle, maximum leak level allowed, conveyor speed (external or internal), etc.
• Display of production data, number of good or defective bottles, leak levels in each test and maximum level allowed.
• Light warning in case of several consecutive defective bottles.
• Sensibility of 2g – equivalent to ø0.1mm leak in 1L bottles.
• Rejection unit for leaking bottles to be installed at the input of the test conveyor.
