Leak Detection System
The European Commission’s Aerosol Dispensers
Directive (ADD) legislation (UN ADR 2013,
75/324/EEC) mandates that aerosol dispensers
and small receptacles containing compressed
gas (gas cartridges) must pass a leak-proof test
before they are transported.
Aerosol manufacturers have traditionally relied on water
bath testing to verify the integrity of aerosol products. This
technique, however, is costly, resource intensive and highly
disruptive to production.[1]
Cascade’s CT2211 leak detection system detects and rejects
leaking aerosol cans up to a rate of 500 cans per minute. The
system is contactless, ensuring minimal product damage or
contamination. Its design allows for the detection of a wide
range of propellants including LPG, R134a, CO2, N2O, and DME
while continuous health monitoring features result in lower
maintenance costs and higher operational reliability. With the
increasing number of safety and quality standards required,
Cascade’s CT2211 will ensure current and future regulatory
compliance.
Water bath testing alternatives, such as QCL, speed the
production process by eliminating the water bath bottleneck
and in turn offer reduced floor space utilization and energy
consumption leading to higher customer ROI.
