Ultrasonic leak detection system for carbonated beverages
In beverage production, especially for carbonated drinks, detecting and managing leaks is crucial. Leaking bottles can cause contamination and product loss, severely impacting the quality and safety of the beverages. Efficient, non-invasive leak detection ensures product integrity and operational efficiency.
Detect leaks with ultrasonic vibrations
The HEUFT exciter is an advanced ultrasonic system designed to detect leaks in glass and PET bottles filled with carbonated beverages. The system works by transmitting ultrasonic vibrations directly to the bottles on the conveyor, simulating the same effect as shaking a bottle, which causes the product to foam and escape if there is a leak. This method avoids the need for an unhygienic ultrasonic bath. With precise fill level measurement and fault rejection systems like the HEUFT prime and HEUFT DELTA-FW, even the smallest leaks are detected and the faulty bottles are efficiently removed from production. The HEUFT exciter is compact and hygienic with an easy adaptation process for different bottle types during brand changes, and features reliable transmission of vibrations through a controlled ultrasonic module.
