Compression Sensor (C) - For flexible plastic containers

Compression technology detects and rejects leaking and damaged flexible containers. As a container passes through the system, dual parallel belts apply force to the sidewalls of the container. This action compresses the headspace of the container which allows a sensor 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.
