Product catalog summary
Overview
The TapTone 4000-F is a pressurized container inspection system designed for liquid nitrogen dosed containers and carbonated beverage containers. It utilizes Force Technology to detect leaks and low pressure by measuring the tension on the container's sidewall as it passes through parallel belts.
Key Features
  • Rapid on-line inspection at speeds up to 1.52 m/sec (300 ft/min).
  • Easy operation with a large color touch screen and icon-driven menus.
  • Capability to perform up to four primary inspections (Force, X-ray, Proximity) on a single controller.
  • Two independently operated reject outputs for sorting and rejecting containers.
  • Compliance with CE requirements and UL/CUL approval.
Applications
  • Inspection of LN2 dosed teas, juices, and water.
  • Detection of overpressure/underpressure in LN2 dosed PET containers.
  • Inspection of retorted dairy drinks in cans and carbonated beverages in cans or plastic bottles.
  • Suitable for low to mid-range pressure applications up to 3.1 bar or 45 psi.
Pressure and Fill Level Inspection
The system inspects 100% of containers at production line speeds, detecting leaks and low pressure. Optional sensors can be added for fill level inspection, cap inspection, and label detection. Fill level technology includes optical sensors for water-based products and X-ray sensors for various container materials.
System Specifications
  • Pressure Measurement Range: Up to 3.1 bar (45 psi).
  • Operating Speed: Maximum 1.9 m/sec (375 ft/min).
  • Conveyor Height Range: Standard 60.9 cm-111.7 cm (24 in - 44 in), Optional 111.7 cm-157.4 cm (44 in - 62 in).
  • Material & Control Enclosure: Stainless steel, NEMA 4X, IP65 rated.
  • Touch Screen Display: 25.4 cm (10 in) color HMI.
System Options
  • Air Pressure Monitoring: Monitors air pressure at the rejector with alarm signals for low pressure.
  • Cap Inspection: Optional sensors for detecting missing, high, or cocked caps.
  • Down Bottle/Can Inspection: Sensors detect fallen containers on the conveyor.
  • Rejectors: Pneumatic ram and standing rejection systems available.
  • Reject Verification: Ensures containers that fail inspection are removed from the line.

FORCE TECHNOLOGY Package Inspection Systems A Teledyne Technologies Company Pressurized container nitrogen dosed containers The TapTone 4000-F inspects 100% of containers at production line speeds. The system will detect leaks and low pressure in liquid nitrogen dosed containers and carbonated beverage containers. When combined with optional sensors, this system will also perform fill level inspection, cap inspection, and label detection. • Rapid on-line inspection: up to 1.52 m/sec • Easy operation & product set-up using a large color touch screen and icon driven menus • Combined inspections on a single controller: Up to 4 primary inspections (Force, X-ray, • Reject and sort with 2 independently operated reject outputs LN2 dosed teas, juices, and water • Over pressure/under pressure in LN2 dosed • Retorted dairy drinks in cans • Carbonated beer or soft drinks in cans or plastic bottles • Other low to mid-range pressure Force Technology Detects leaks and low pressure in LN2 dosed containers, carbonated beverage containers and aerosol containers. Parallel belts transport the container past a sensor that measures the tension on the sidewall of the container. This action allows the system to measure the pressure inside the container. 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 and the container is removed from the line. Fill Level Technology Optical Technology: The Optical sensor is used to measure fill level of water based products in glass and plastic containers. The sensor utilizes a special emitter/receiver infrared wavelength tuned to the absorption band of water. The beam is powerful enough to pass through most types of plastic and glass containers but will not pass through water based liquids. X-ray Technology: The X-ray sensor is used to measure the fill level in steel, aluminum, glass, plastic and paper containers. An x-ray beam is focused in the expected fill level region of the container. As the x-ray beam penetrates the container, it is attenuated by the amount of product blocking the beam. The attenuation is proportionate to the fill level of
