Aerosol Leak Detecting Machines

Aerosol Micro Leak Detectors

Now installed at LMA Services in Pocklington and verified by Bourgoynes to be compliant to the ADR 2007 directive and the BAMA standard!

LMA services are industrial aerosol fillers. They fill paints, oils and lubricants. The machine was installed and verified in October 2008.

LMA and others have ordered further machines to be installed in May 2009.

Features

  • Aerosol Leak Detecting Machines as part of a verified water bath alternative or after the water bath.
  • Machinery detects propellant gases like R134A, propane/butane, LPG, DME or other hydrocarbons.
  • Machinery may detect leaks in cans for carbon dioxide and other gases when hydrocarbons are present in product.
  • Aerosol leak testers detect micro leaks lower than 0.001mg/s detectable to meet ADR 2007
  • Machines run at up to 500 cans per minute
  • Adjustable micro leak reject threshold
  • Carousel or run through machine
  • Machines in use in Aerosol industry for over 25 years
  • Detector uses single head analyser
  • For Aerosol cans in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical industry
  • Detector is not in risk of contamination
  • Detector not at risk of poisoning
  • Machine is easily calibrated due to linear response of detection system used.

    Summary of Compliance from the Bourgoynes Verification Report:

    5.1 The machine as supplied by Raupack designated Aerocan 100 (the machine) is capable of fulfilling the requirements of ADR 2007 of a leak tester for filled aerosols as part of the approved alternative to the Water Bath method.

    5.2 The machine has sufficient controls in place so as to present minimal risk of explosion.

    5.3 The machine can be considered to avoid flammable atmospheres in normal operation by design thereby presenting no additional zoning requirement to its environs, and having an internal zone classified as non-hazardous.

    5.4 The machine can be considered as complying with the BAMA standard.

    From 29 April 2010, for the first time, compliance with all aspects of the Aerosol Dispensers Directive (ADD) and the application of the reversed epsilon compliance mark is mandatory under UK law.
    As preparation we are building a stock Aerocan Leak Detector. This small 800 x 800 mm machine is capable of testing cans at up to 100 cans per minute, either after the water bath, or as part of the water bath alternative. It uses a single sensor head and can be calibrated in less than 10 minutes.
    The machine, which is available for rental, has been verified by Paul Dewhirst of Bourgoynes to comply with the water bath alternative requirements of ADR 2007 and the BAMA standard.
