Source: TASI Group: Bonfiglioli Engineering and Sepha

Established since 1974, Bonfiglioli Engineering Srl have become specialists in the design and manufacture of micro-leak testing machines for containers in the food, beverage, and can industry. Years of experience and continuous research have led to the development of economical, high sensitivity, non-destructive leak testing machines for various types of containers including Aerosol cans, peel seam/e.o.e.,drums etc. During Metpack 2008, visitors will be able to see this first hand whilst having the opportunity to discuss, in detail, solutions for their production lines.

One of the machines that will be exhibited is the E.O.E. leak testing machine, being the leak tester for peel seam. The E.O.E rotary leak tester is designed specifically to test peel seam for leaks at high speeds and includes a state-of-the art measuring and control system. This leak tester can be incorporated into existing manufacturing lines.

The E.O.E. leak tester is fed via a conveyor (which can be customized according to the client's line). The peel seam fall into a stacker situated in the machine, after which the custom made handling system positions each peel seam under a special testing head, which is cam driven to seal precisely on the edge of the peel seam. Testing via pressure is done and monitored to detect any leakages present. If a leak is detected the peel seam is automatically rejected in a designed area on the exit of the tester. This leak tester can reach up to 800 ends per min. Bonfiglioli has lately improved the design of the tooling changeover parts system making it easier and faster.

Customer can also choose to have Remote Assistance device added to the machine's specifications. This technology is ideal to assist the client should any operational problems arise that require urgent solutions. All the client needs is an ADSL modem to telephone network.

Crown Cork Seal for whom integrity packaging in the production line is a must,have purchased Bonfiglioli's E.O.E. leak testing machine for Italy,France and Spain. They were so satisfied with this cost effective innovative investment that saled have led to repeat orders.

We would be happy to answer any questions at Metpack Hall 3 Stand 409.
