Metal packaging is recognised for its protective qualities, versatility and environmental credentials; it protects from water, oxygen and light, and is 100% recyclable. The most suitable metals for the manufacture of packaging are steel and aluminium based materials.
Flat-rolled products can be foil, strip and plate, these generally are delimited by thickness. Strip thickness is in the range 0.1 – 6 mm.
Since pinhole is associated with package safety, its size and number is an important scale to measure production quality.
CEPHEE® V is a cutting-edge detector able to analyse 100% of the strip at a high speed.
The pinhole is detected, classified by size and positioned in X, Y along the strip.
For the very thinnest gauges (6-70µm), the foil is doubled to avoid breakage because of the extreme thinness in the cold rolling mill, then rolled to the desired gauge and separated into large reels; to be later slitted to required widths.
CEPHEE®ASL is an automatic detector especially designed for double-rolled foils, testing 100% of the two foils at the exit of the separator.
It detects circular holes of 10µm diameter minimum at a speed of 1200 meters per minute and indicates the exact location of each detected pinhole.
CEPHEE ®SSL also available for single laminated aluminium or copper foils (designed for slitters or rewinders).
