BottleStop This ALPS multi-head leak tester is designed to meet the needs of blow molding manufacturers of large, stable containers. It is appropriate for testing extrusion blow molded HDPE containers, such as household toilet-bowl-cleaner bottles, industrial chemical containers and automotive fuel-additive containers. Boasting advanced control systems, the tester can switch between testing angled and standard necks; an optional probe for choked necks also is available. Features include a full-color touch screen, which provides reports, and a self-test function to verify calibration and ensure reliable detection of even very small defects.
What’s new? The leak tester, which hit the market this winter.
Benefits Ease of use, and automatic, reliable, precise quality control and efficient process monitoring.
