Ultrasonic leak detection system for carbonated beverages
Ensure the integrity of your carbonated beverages by precisely detecting and removing leaking bottles, enhancing both product quality and production efficiency.
Detects Leaks and Analyzes Fill Levels
The HEUFT Exciter from HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK is a sophisticated ultrasonic fobbing system designed for beverage bottling applications, focusing on ensuring product integrity and quality. Utilizing ultrasonic vibrations, it identifies and addresses leakage in bottles filled with carbonated beverages, preventing contamination and microbial spoilage. This system is tailored for use with both glass and PET bottles, effectively integrating into high-speed production lines with continuous operation. The HEUFT Exciter’s innovative approach avoids the need for unhygienic water baths, instead using a direct vibration technique on the conveyor belt. It detects and measures product leakage with a downstream fill level measurement system, ensuring even the smallest faults are addressed accurately. Supported by HEUFT’s rejection systems, faulty bottles are promptly removed from the production flow, minimizing recalls. It also allows for easy brand changes, adapting to various bottle types with precise ultrasonic vibration adjustments. Featuring a compact, controlled design that optimizes energy use, the HEUFT Exciter offers reliable performance while minimizing product loss and maintenance requirements.
