WILCO will be exhibiting its new high-tech testing method for filled aerosol cans, which can be used to replace the costly, energy consuming and environmental polluting traditional hot water bath.
The newly developed laser-based technology by WILCO allows a laser-based, non-contact leak testing of filled aerosol cans at capacities of up to 900 cans a minute with just one testing station! The leak rate required by law of 2×10-3 mbar x l a second is detected safely and highly accurately with smallest attainable standard deviations and any leaking cans are automatically eliminated from the running production processes.
The new testing method operates at a maximum power consumption of 1200 watts and represents an alternative to water baths with their enormous energy requirements. This is also the only supply of energy required; it does not require any other sources of inert gas or flame for ionization.
The machine has a fully automatic self-monitoring system and provides the highest standard of safety. Since the used laser, due to its low power, belongs to class A specification, no separate protection devices are required for the operating personnel.
In addition, the integrated laser diode was designed for a long life and allows consistent measurements for many years without any loss. With this newly developed technology, the requirements of the UN ADR 2007 document European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road are met and substantial savings regarding energy and machine footprint can be achieved compared to the hot water bath
Finally, the environmental benefit must be emphasised, since no leaking of contents into the water and water contamination can occur. Therefore any need for regular water changes or water filtering systems is eliminated.
