Protecting your brand is our mission.
Established in 2007, ENOS Engineering's flagship product is the ENOS A100 "Sniffer" System, a vapor-analysis platform designed to detect and remove consumer-returned contaminated refillable PET soft-drink bottles from RefPet and PRB lines.
Returned PET bottles are washed and refilled. Before refilling, bottles are inspected for consumer-added contaminants. If contamination is detected, the bottle is automatically rejected and destroyed, while compliant bottles continue through washing, cleaning, and refill operations. The ENOS Multi-Barrier System was designed to identify and reject these contaminated bottles before refill.
Shortly after the ENOS A100 reached the market, a major soft-drink company asked ENOS to expand that capability into a complete Multi-Barrier Sniffer System that combined the upstream technology with Mass Spectrometer final inspection to safeguard the production line from bottles the primary system could miss.
Mass spectrometry performs best in a laboratory-grade clean environment. In industrial operation, highly concentrated NOx and hydrocarbon bottles can contaminate the Mass Spec module and temporarily blind the detector for 15 to 20 bottles after a contamination event. In a Multi-Barrier configuration, the ENOS A100 removes those severe contamination cases before the Mass Spec stage, allowing the final inspection module to run at sensitive detection levels with fewer false rejects.
