Gagers

Dubble Head Gager

Dual Head Gager (DHG)

  • 100%, online choke, dip/saddle, plug, ring, and height testing
  • Can be set up to operate as a plug gager, dip/saddle detector, or (combined) dual head gager.
  • Plug penetration adjusts from 22 to 70 mm [7/8 to 2-3/4 in.]
  • Dip/saddle detection can be used on both narrow neck and wide-mouth containers with finish diameters from 9 to 132 mm.

Deep Penetration Dual Head Gager

  • Adapted from the standard DHG for deep plug gaging of tall, straight-necked ware
  • Plug penetration from 30 to 140 mm [1-1/2 to 5-1/2 in.]
  • Same inspection setup and operational flexibility as standard DHG

Single Spindle Plug Gager

  • Same plug/ring/height gaging same as on DHG, but with a single inspection area
  • Designed for applications where dip/saddle gaging is not required

Fluidic Finish Selector (FFS)

  • 100% online dip/saddle testing (used primarily on wide-mouth ware to detect unfilled and wavy finish defects, as well as on rigid plastic containers)
  • Heads available for inspection of finish diameters of 9 to 132 mm
