TapTone 1000 Force & Compression

High Speed Inspection Systems for Pressurized & Non-Pressurized Plastic & Metal Containers

Versatile Inspection/Advanced Control - The TapTone 1000 Force and Compression systems inspect 100% of your containers at production line speeds. The TapTone 1000 Force system will detect leaks and low pressure in liquid nitrogen-dosed and carbonated beverage containers. The TapTone 1000 Compression system will detect pin-hole leaks in plastic containers and tubes. When combined with optional sensors, these systems will also perform fill level inspection, cap inspection and label detection. 

Compression Technology - Detects leaks in plastic containers. As a container passes through the system, dual parallel belts apply force to the sidewalls of the container. This action compresses the head space of the container, which allows a load cell to take a force measurement at the discharge of the system. Utilizing DSP technology, the controller analyzes the measurement and assigns a merit value to each container. If the merit value is outside of the acceptable range, a reject signal activates a remote reject system.

Force Technology - Detects leaks and low pressure in LN2 dosed and carbonated beverage containers. Parallel belts transport the container past a load cell that measures the tension on the sidewall of the container. This action allows the system to measure the pressure inside the container. Utilizing DSP technology, the controller analyzes the measurement and assigns a merit value to each container. If the merit value is outside of the acceptable range, a reject signal activates a remote reject system.

X-ray Technology - measures the product fill level in steel, aluminum, glass, plastic and paper containers. An X-ray tube is used to produce a low-energy X-ray beam. The X-ray beam penetrates the side of the container in the area of the fill level. An X-ray detector is positioned on the opposite side of the container to measure the intensity of the beam after it goes through the container. The intensity of the beam is then compared to acceptable energy levels to determine the relative fill level of each container. The X-ray sensor is used to measure both overfilled and under filled products in all types of containers.
