New SX Linear Bottle (over conveyor) leak inspection machine to be showcased by ALPS

The SX Flex linear leak testers are single station leak testers that can be placed directly over existing conveyors and use in-built gate cylinders to gate and stop bottles.

The containers are continuously fed by the conveyor. A gate cylinder regulates bottles into the testing area. Precise programmable sensors are used to monitor bottle travel through the gate, test station and reject areas. An integrated air-jet or cylinder ejects defective product from the conveyor.

Handling consists of rugged, adjustable stroke stop cylinders. The unit is suitable for stable bottle designs that gate and stop effectively with a continuously moving conveyor; and for production lines where a separate leak tester conveyor is not desired.
