Can inspection

As can fillers and can makers will know, perfection in packaging is critical.

Thankfully, at Industrial Physics, we have a number of instruments in place to perform numerous tests on beverage cans. Take a look at just a few of our instruments.

Headspace and gas detection

Performing headspace and gas analysis on your beverage packaging is hugely important - from measuring shelf life to ensuring product safety, our instruments test across a range of applications.

And we have a variety of products on offer.

Coating testing

When a bottle or can reaches consumers, it has to look perfect. But if there is a chipped can, the experience can be ruined in an instant.

Across production, at every step, it is essential that quality is front of mind.​

TQC Sheen Scrub Abrasion & Washability Tester
The Scrub Abrasion and Washability Tester is used to test the resistance of paint, varnish, or coatings to scratching, wearing, and color loss due to wet or dry abrasion.
This is achieved through the simulation of everyday wear from cleaning actions or general use. Ensuring your beverage package can stand the test of time!

• Reduces costs for laboratories by complying to many standards
• Includes optional accessories – such as our innovative camera tool!

TQC Sheen CAT (Comprehensive Abrasion Test)

Beverage cans often suffer from severe scuff and friction during transport – this could result in aesthetic issues and the can could even begin to leak.
The Comprehensive Abrasion Test is a universal testing machine that tests the coating abrasion resistance on beverage cans or flat materials.
The instrument tests for wear and friction resistance of metal packaging coatings – ultimately, preventing package failure during transportation.  

• Easy to use
• Computer controlled
• Reproducible

Pressure measurement

Whether you need to find and inspect the best metal containers for your beverages, control the CO2 levels contained in your carbonated drinks, or check your choice of crown closures, we make all of the devices you need.

1/6

Steinfurth Automatic CO2 Tester CDA MK-6

The innovative CDA MK-6 gives you perfect CO2 monitoring for a variety of packaged beverages including cans and bottles with a metal, or plastic, closure.

This innovative tester measures pressure and temperature simultaneously, calculates the CO2 content, and transfers the measurement results via the data interface to the base unit.

It comes with QS-based automatic workflow management for repeatable results based on the physical laws of Henry & Dalton. With easy check and calibration, low maintenance requirements, and operator-independent functioning, this robust device offers a fast return on investment.

The Steinfurth Bottle Pressure Tester (BPT)

The Steinfurth BPT is a reliable, handheld device that measures the internal pressure of glass and PET bottles with crown closures.

It attaches ergonomically to a glass bottle. It pierces the closure, then reads the internal headspace pressure from a digital or analog pressure gauge attached to the piercing mechanics.

The Steinfurth BPT is easy for one person to operate, plus it’s customizable to suit most shapes and sizes of bottles.

2/6

The Steinfurth Can Pressure Tester (CPT)

The Steinfurth CPT is an accurate, handheld device that measures the internal pressure of cans.

It attaches ergonomically to a beverage can. It pierces the top lid, then reads the internal headspace pressure from a digital or analog pressure gauge that’s attached to the piercing mechanic.

The Steinfurth CPT is easy for one person to operate, plus it’s customizable to suit most shapes and sizes of cans.

3/6

The Steinfurth Past Control

When you produce pasteurized beverages you need complete control over your inspection process. Too little pasteurization can lead to microbiological product changes, and too much affects taste.

The system features a temperature logger and a pasteurization unit (PU) monitor. Attached to a can or bottle, the logger moves through the pasteurization tunnel. Both the temperature at a selected (coldest) spot inside the container and the spray temperature can be measured and recorded. The logger is fitted to the PU monitor so the number of pasteurizing units (PU) can be read from the LCD display. Plus you can store the recordings in the logger’s memory to evaluate later.

The Steinfurth Drop Cart Tester (DCT)

The Steinfurth DCT is a precise testing device designed to perform standardized drop cart testing on beverage cans and metal bottles.
Carry out both drop testing and can abuse resistance testing (CART) on your beverages. Through the drop test, your sample can is dropped onto a plain anvil plate from ever-increasing heights. CART follows a similar process - your specimen can is dropped onto another anvil plate, from a fixed height.
The standardized test procedure gives you repeatable results at any test place. You can make adjustments for different can diameters and it’s great for testing aluminum bottles too.

4/6

The Steinfurth Shoulder Cart Tester (SCT)

The Steinfurth SCT was built to deliver standardized shoulder impact testing and support can-abuse resistance testing (CART) on cans and metal bottles.

Adjust and secure your sample in the can holder, then use the easy drop height adjustment to set up the test conditions. Push a button and an impact weight is triggered, dropping repeatedly onto your metal package.

The standardized test procedure gives repeatable, reliable results.

The Steinfurth Side Wall Abuse Resistance Tester (SWART)

The Steinfurth SWART gives you control over your SWART testing on cans and metal bottles.

A drop weight falls on your pressurized beverage packaging from different pre-programmed launch heights and a destroyed sample is automatically detected.

The SWART is developed for automatic and user-independent monitoring. To optimize the efficiency of the process, each SWART is pre-programmed with standardized, fully automated, and semi-automatic test procedures.

5/6

Steinfurth Tumbling Tester (TT)

The Steinfurth TT abrasion test will determine the performance of your crown closure coatings.

It tumbles a number of your crown closures together over a defined period of time. The abrasion test will identify if any excessive dust is created - important to know as dust particles can contaminate a bottled beverage. Find out how your crown closures will survive the hazards of your supply chain with this easy-to-load tumbling device that gives repeatable, reliable results.

The Steinfurth LCS 710P

Need to determine the right CO2 content of your beverages and the correct metal cans and bottles to contain them in? The Steinfurth LCS 710P is the device you need.

It will fill your sample beverages with the precise levels of CO2 you desire. The versatility of the different carbonation settings makes light work of sample preparation and helps you to identify the optimally crafted product.

The low-maintenance LCS 710P will improve your quality control and save you time and money. This popular device gives accurate, repeatable results and adjusts to fit many bottle types.
