Leakage detection for beverage cans
Ensuring the integrity of canned beverages is critical to maintaining product quality and preventing costly recalls. Detecting leaks without damaging the cans can be a challenge, especially at high production speeds.
Identify leaks swiftly and accurately
The Checkmat SLD from Krones is a non-contact leakage detection system designed specifically for beverage cans. This system employs a fanned-out laser beam and a 3D scanner to measure the bulge of the can lid, thereby indirectly determining the internal pressure. Containers with insufficient bulge, and thus potential leaks, are automatically rejected. This contact-free process minimizes wear and eliminates speed restrictions, ensuring continuous and reliable operation.
Benefits
- Minimizes wear due to non-contact process
- Operates without speed restrictions
- Accurate leak detection through 3D scanning
- Automatically rejects defective cans
- Helps maintain product quality and safety
