Leak detection for pharmaceutical containers
Ensure the integrity of your liquid products in high-speed production by detecting leaks, closure faults, and even microcracks in plastic containers efficiently and continuously, safeguarding both product safety and quality.
The HEUFT Squeezer II is a sophisticated leakage check system designed to ensure the safety and integrity of products commonly packaged in HDPE and PET containers. By employing a dual-method approach of internal pressure measurement and fill level detection, it accurately identifies leaks, stress cracks, and closure faults in high-density polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate bottles. This system is particularly suited for pharmaceutical items like cough syrups and vitamin supplements, as well as food and beverage products such as protein shakes and carbonated drinks. Fully automatic and capable of rapid brand and format adjustments, the HEUFT Squeezer II excels in high-speed production lines, handling up to 1,200 containers per minute. Its design incorporates HEUFT’s advanced image processing systems, offering an optional HEUFTVISION 360 module for enhanced optical closure inspection. The adaptive HEUFTNaVi interface ensures user-friendly operation, while the robust construction supports hygienic cleaning and maintenance. Achieving high detection precision, the system minimizes false rejections, contributing to improved line efficiency and product quality.
