Washing needles for Bausch+Ströbel machines
Container washing needles for Bausch+Ströbel machines.
SPC can apply as much or as little customisation as you wish to an existing part.
Years of accumulated experience put our know-how to work improving your filling conditions.
We manufacture needles with tube diameters from Ø 0.25 internal up to Ø 20.
Our traceability policy means nearly all our tubing is batch-tracked, so we can supply a 3.1 material certificate.
The needle can be partly responsible for filling problems — bubbles, splashing, overflow. We have handled a great many such cases and know how to optimise the part to limit, or remove, whatever disturbs filling.
In most cases the pump or the needle accounts for only a small part of filling problems.
Other aspects of your line often need examining — throughput, product dosed, installation — to find the root cause. Our technical experts come on site to analyse the situation and resolve the malfunctions.
