Unique New Leak Tester for 1000 litre 'IBC' containers

The bigger the container, the longer the test time you need to find small holes - It's the law of Physics. The problem is that IBC assembly lines (fitting the valve, placing container in cage etc.) is a lot faster than the blow moulding process. Multi-heading is the classic solution for obtaining longer test times, but a 6 head IBC tester is a monster!

'The Button' - for IBC testing on the move

Introducing 'The Button,' a leak tester that travels with the IBC. Attached to the container, it monitors the test pressure for any test time, 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day. The Button is removed at the end of the test time and placed on another IBC

Leak Testing Recondition Containers using A.Q.S. Automatic Quality System

Almost everyone knows that leak testing has moved on considerably from the primitive method of pressurizing a container and waiting to see if the pressure drops too much. The need to find ever smaller holes, logging test results for anti-litigation defense, and automatic diagnostics has driven us to launch the AQS-2 Dual-Core Dual-Sensor leak tester for industrial containers The AQS-2 leak testing system, with user-friendly touch screen, introduces a new level of performance and reliability. We offer Semior Fully Automatic Leak Testers for IBC’s, Open and Tight Head Drums and Jerry Cans. Using the NASA principle called ‘redundant control’ we use multiple sensors. This brings an unprecedented level of confidence to the testers performance and calibration.

NASA inspired Multiple-sensor technology. What does it do for you? -

NASA inspired multiple sensor technology - Increases accuracy, reliability and confidence. The key component in all ‘pressure decay’ leak testers is the pressure transducer. All pressure transducers drift for a variety of reasons, but ‘generally’ this drift is small enough not to cause a problem. We don't like the word ‘generally’, particularly when describing equipment used for testing containers that might contain hazardous chemicals. Our technique to solve the problem is deceptively simple:

Have a number of transducers measuring the same pressure

By adding their signals together you get a more accurate pressure measurement. By comparing their difference you get an early warning that a transducer is drifting. In the event that the drift is significant a warning is given on the display and an amber beacon light is lit. Again, our unique Dual-Core processor allows us to do these complex mathematics without any effect on the sequence of the rest of the equipment. NASA believes that multiple sensors are essential for reliable measurements and fail-safe operation. We believe that reconditioners of ‘UN’ containers need confidence in their leak testing equipment. Now you can have it, but at prices that are not out of this world.

 

DUAL CORE PROCESSOR = BETTER PERFORMANCE & BETTER REPEATABILITY !

Why a DUAL−CORE Processor?

Detecting small leaks by measuring pressure decay needs fast analog signal processing mathematics - something PLC’s are not designed for.
But PLC’c are excellent for sequence control like getting switch inputs and turning on valves. ‘Conventional’ leak testers use a single processor and accept the compromise between the two tasks. We don’t compromise - in our Dual Core processor the analog and sequence tasks are performed independently by each processor. No matter how complex each task is, the other is unaffected.
