5 Head Bottle Inspection Unit (See Video Below)

W. Amsler's New Flying Head Leak Tester Delivers

High Output and Tool-Free Changeovers

Five-Head Unit is Among the Industry's Fastest and

Most Compact Solutions to Ensure Bottle Quality

RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, June 30, 2011 – W. Amsler Equipment Inc., a leading Canadian manufacturer of all-electric, reheat stretch-blow molding machines and ancillary equipment based in Richmond Hill, Ont., has extended its line of leak testers with an innovative flying head design which provides high output, flexibility, and tool-free changeovers. The new five-head unit, which runs up to 250 bottles/min, is for plastic containers up to 2-L for beverage, personal-care, consumer goods, and other markets.

“This new leak tester is one of the fastest, most cost-effective, user friendly, and compact solutions in the industry,” said President Werner Amsler. “It ensures maximum productivity and improved quality for processors and product manufacturers.”

The five heads travel with the bottles along the conveyor in the enclosed system. A unique feature is the use of servo motors instead of an indexing conveyor or stationary heads to control the traveling heads. This enables the heads to move more quickly, speeding up overall operation.

The compact linear system is smaller and more flexible than competitive linear and rotary machines. No change parts are required and tool-free changeovers are fast and simple.

The leak tester uses low-pressure air to detect holes as small as 0.006-in diameter. It also detects fallen bottles, choked necks, and blocked necks. Extra heads can be added to the unit to increase speed and productivity.

Amsler’s new leak tester is fully tested and commercially available. A custom blow molder in the U.S. has purchased two units for testing various plastic food containers.
