Great risk potential: It is no longer a secret that bottles which burst during the filling process can contaminate other containers with flying pieces of glass. Total bursts are reliably detected. However this is not always the case if only individual parts are burst away.

The remaining part already suffices in order to simulate an intact bottle as regards the filler. By the time a fill level detection identifies such a container further circuits have already been filled and glass splinters which could have entered the filler valve due to the bottle burst may have already entered other containers.

Shower removes glass splinters from the filler valve

HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK GMBH has developed the extended bottle burst detection on the basis of these findings. An acoustic sensor listens to the filler specifically for bottle bursts. The shower function of the filler is activated and the glass splinters are removed from the filler valves when it detects a suspicious noise.

At the same time a purposeful search begins for an underfilled bottle. A completely new algorithm from HEUFT provides the clear filling position of the bottle burst and activates the standard protocol when one is found. This also reliably rejects the adjacent containers as well as those products which were filled by this valve during the successive circuits.

eco6 – Zurich, Switzerland, 9-10 Oct 2006

“SRI – just another marketing ploy?” & “CSR - fact or fiction?”


whether you are a company seeking to improve your bottom line and ‘futureproof’ your organisation or a charity/NGO seeking to effect social or environmental change, you cannot afford to ignore two of fastest growing global economic movements…

  • eco06 is the annual event of the international socially responsible community. A conference which draws together the world’s leading experts in these fields, economie 06 offers you a rare opportunity to meet, learn from and be inspired by passionate, creative individuals from all corners of the SRI and CSR community.

eco06 will be held on the 9th and 10th of October 2006, at the Kongresshaus in Zurich, Switzerland, a city at the heart of Europe's financial institutions - and in one of the most magnificent beauty spots in the world.

  • A formidable array of international speakers includes
    • Professor Hans Ruh, Institute of Social Ethics, Zurich Iniversity
    • John Renesch, the acclaimed San Francisco based business futurist,
    • Dr Kevin Money, Director of School for Reputation, relationships and Respnosibility

  • Equally important is the opportunity to interact with hundreds of diverse and knowledgeable fellow delegates from across Europe and beyond - ranging from fund managers, insurance groups and multinationals to NGOS, charity trustees, environmental groups and academics.
  • The format, including ‘open forums’ and expert panels, has been designed to facilitate audience interaction and provoke debate. It should prove to be intellectually stimulating, informative, intense, challenging - and hugely enjoyable.
  • economie 06 is the only event to bring together the inextricably linked twin strands of SRI and CSR, giving delegates ‘the bigger picture’ .
  • A number of bursaries are available to ensure as diverse a range of participants as possible. If you’re a charity/NGO/small company or from the developing world or a student/academic or other non corporate individual with an interest in SCR/SRI you may be eligible.
  • At the heart of economie 06 lies a commitment to advancing education in SRI and CSR, subjects which will play an increasingly important role in our world’s future. As a demonstration of this the young winners of the economie 06 Student Bursary Competition will be attending – we hope you make them welcome!
