Inline leak tester for aerosol cans

Ensure the integrity of your aerosol cans with precise leak detection, achieving regulatory compliance and safeguarding product quality in high-speed production lines.

Performs High-Speed Leak Testing for Metal Cans

The AERO DPSC and R DPSCA leak testers from WILCO AG are engineered to carry out precise and efficient inspection of metal packaging. These systems specialize in detecting leaks in aerosol and steel cans, utilizing differential pressure techniques to ensure accuracy and reliability. Suitable for applications across the aerosol, food, and packaging industries, they can handle products such as spray paint cans, canned vegetables, and beverage cans.

Capable of testing up to 500 cans per minute, the AERO DPSC integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, with an in-feed star wheel and continuous moving carousel system. Its clamping device tests cans in a “hanging” position, allowing potential seam leaks to be exposed. Automatic compensation features address external influences like temperature variations.

The R DPSCA offers similar precision for steel cans, with robust design, reliable throughput, and a user-friendly MAVIS operating system. Both systems ensure compliance with UN, ADR, and FEA regulations. Fully automated, they deliver non-destructive testing and facilitate fast format changeovers for cost-effective operation. Built for durability, these testers support you in balancing quality with price efficiently.
