Bottle Cap Glands for Temperature Validation During Sterilisation

The validation of bottled product during sterilisation is made easier using bottle cap mounting glands from Thermal Detection.

The gland allows easy and accurate positioning of temperature probes or thermocouple wires in a product bottle. They can be made to fit a range of temperature probe sizes or thermocouple wire formats, and can be fitted to most bottle caps. There are two types of bottle cap mounting gland:

The GL45 is used to securing a single rigid temperature probe. It utilises a Teflon® olive in the gland body to secure the probe in position with a finger tight adjustment, allowing fast and accurate placement.

The GL45-1 is used for securing a number of thermocouple wires. It uses a Silicone sealant with predrilled holes to seal the thermocouple wires. A Teflon® cannular is fitted to the gland to guide the thermocouple wires into the bottle and allow positioning of the hot junctions centrally in the bottle.

Both gland types can be specified with Schott Duran® and Corning® bottles, other manufacturers on request. The sealing gland is made in 316L stainless steel
