End Light Tester (ELTP)
Sencon’s End Light Tester Package has already been fitted to many makes and types of press. It has also been successfully installed on some food end conversion presses.
By testing 100% of production on the press, the End Light Tester Package (ELTP) delivers a significant improvement in product quality for a low investment and with minimal disruption. Experience shows that most end defect types are detected, including leakers due to tears or pinholes in the panel, score and chuck wall, as well as split rivets. Clipped curl and compound blob defects can also be detected if they are large enough to affect the light seal around the end.
ELTP can normally be installed on any press that makes round food or beverage ends from 112 to 603 / 44.5mm - 153mm in size using belt pocket transfer. Other sizes and non-round shapes can also be considered for installation with specially designed adaptations.
Mechanical installation packages are available for most conversion presses. Contact your local Sencon office for further details
