Wilco WILCOMAT® R MC/LFC

Rotary type leak tester for both small and large BFS products.
The machines are designed and built according
to latest GAMP guidelines.
The containers are fed to the tester
on a conveyor belt.
An especially designed in feed star
wheel positions the containers continuously
onto the test rotor directly underneath one
of the testing station.
Once positioned, the test chambers close
and seal by a mechanically cam driven system.
Once sealed, a patented vacuum based leak test
will detect smallest leaks anywhere
on the containers by analyzing the applied test
vacuum for any changes over time.
A special 2-step approach assures the detection
of large leaks in a fraction of a second,
thereby avoiding contamination of the test chambers.
Once successfully passed the large leak
detection small leaks are being detected.
After the testing, the containers are released
from the testing station and are moved
back onto the out feed conveyor belt.
Only containers, which have passed both leak tests,
are allowed to continue on.
Leaky containers are rejected by a fail-safe reject mechanism.
