AUTO ENAMEL RATER (master SERIES)
long term flexibility
The Master Series quality assurance gauges offer a modular, scalable range of measuring systems that can start as single gauges but grow into complete, automated multi-gauging clusters.
The modular approach means that you can purchase just those options that meet your immediate needs, safe in the knowledge that additional measurement or operational functionality can be added when appropriate.
Reduced cost of ownership

This fully automatic enamel rater constantly checks its own operation to ensure that tests are accurate and reliable. Electrolyte concentration, fill level, and many other variables are continuously monitored, so you can rest assured that the same test quality is maintained day and night. With this test consistency, any trends or problems are spotted instantly and corrective action can be taken before excessive HFIs or scrap are generated.
The new Enamel Master is the result of a redesign project which drew on more than ten years experience of building and maintaining the most successful range of automatic enamel raters in the industry. The result is an eminently durable gauging system that is ready to accept virtually any 2pc beverage can without change parts. The gauge is ready for any can size change you may need.
Mechanical pumps have been replaced with an innovative electrolyte handling system. Only one major service per year, plus one minor service is required.
Additional gauging stations can be added, along with spray machine identification camera and multi-lane infeed.

cost Saving Benefits / Increased Efficiency
This fully automatic gauge allows operator time to be used on more productive and profitable tasks by relieving operators of the labour intensive enamel rating / coating porosity test .
Labour Saving
In many cases labour reductions may be possible .
Improved Quality
The automatic enamel rater tests each can for lacquer integrity in a precise and repeatable way, free from operator bias and fallibility. So problems and trends are spotted instantly and appropriate action can be undertaken immediately, thus improving both quality and production efficiency.
Better Process Control
Reliable, accurate porosity information is directly interpreted on a continuous basis. The Master Series enamel rater gives on screen warning at the first sign of any problem.
Immediate Availability of Data
Operators and supervisors benefit from immediate access to enamel rating test data. Data can also be linked into the factory’s process management system.
Reduced Spoilage
By relating sampling rates to production levels and previous results, enamel rating test frequencies can be set to match optimum output efficiency. Lacquer integrity checks are always made on time with immediate action, thus reducing the potential for manufacturing out-of-specification cans.
