Application Note: Identifying Leakers In Chocolate Syrup Containers

The purpose of this test was to prove the effectiveness of the TapTone 1000-C Compression Sensor in testing syrup bottles for proper closure and seal defects. Due to the nature of a syrup product, processors are aware that one leaking container can ruin an entire case of their product.

The T1000-C Compression Sensor is ideal for finding potential leakers in syrup containers before they leave the processing plant.

The T1000-C Compression Sensor utilizes dual parallel belts to apply force to the sidewall of a passing container. This action also compresses the headspace 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.
