Reduce your aerosol production line quality costs with the new Award Winning STT Crimp Depth & Diameter Gauge

Accurately monitoring crimp quality on your process lines can be a big headache. The new STT Gauge will give you confidence that your quality control is effectively cutting reject costs.

  • Direct simultaneous readings of the two critical
    dimensions.
  • Measurements are taken ‘Hands-Free’ ensuring
    consistancy and repeatability between operators.
  • Easy to set up and operate - no re-setting for different sizes of can.
  • Robust and reliable construction.
  • Robust and Reliable.
  • Short payback time.
  • Designed for F.E.A and ISO Standards

Extract from a proposal for ‘The Chairman’s Innovation Award’ which was subsequently awarded for the development of the gauge and the resulting cost savings:

"Rejections for crimps out of specification can be very expensive and historically cost the company thousands of pounds using conventional methods"

He continues: "Since introducing the STT gauge there have been few if any write-offs."

Comments: Quality Manager Mike Steed at Lever-Faberge who are currently using nine units.

Lever-Fabergé have subsequently invested in a further seven gauges to extend the cost savings to the remainder of their process lines.
