DUAL SENSOR COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY

TapTone DSC
®

Advanced Leak Detection for Flexible
Containers
The TapTone Dual Sensor Compression (DSC) sensor is designed to inspect a wide
variety of flexible containers for micro leaks. The design incorporates our patented
dual sensor technology and high speed compression belts for improved accuracy and
container handling. The system was designed for harsh environments. When combined
with optional sensors, this system will also perform fill level inspection, cap inspection
and label detection. The sensor is available in a low profile format for small container
handling.

How It Works

Dual Sensor Compression Technology
Detects and rejects leaking and damaged flexible containers at production
line speeds up to 1.52 m/sec (300 ft/min). The system is designed with dual
parallel belts suspended over the customer’s existing conveying system.
As the container passes through the system, the dual parallel belts apply
force to the sidewall of the container. This action compresses the headspace
of the container which allows a comparative measurement to be taken at
both the infeed and the discharge of the system. Comparing readings on
the same container at the infeed and discharge of the system eliminates the
effects of typical product and container variations.
