Hans-Ulrich Bogatzki

Title: Hans-Ulrich Bogatzki and Inspection Technology for Containers.

Introduction

Hans-Ulrich Bogatzki is an inventor associated with Zurich, Switzerland. His patent work includes inspection systems designed to identify defects and verify the quality of plastic bottles and hollow glass containers. He is credited with 5 patents.

Latest Patents

One of Bogatzki’s patents describes an inspection machine for plastic bottles. Bottles move around a vertical turntable while also rotating individually, allowing multiple inspection stations to assess them. Sensors and evaluation electronics check characteristics including the alignment of each bottle’s bottom and neck, volume, pressure tightness, height, and color.

Another patent concerns an apparatus for checking hollow glass containers. A sensor mounted on a movable rod enters the container and approaches its bottom. If a suspended plate on the sensor encounters an internal glass defect, such as a spike or filament, it moves and triggers a proximity switch. The resulting signal can activate a device that ejects the defective container. The apparatus is particularly suited to wide-necked containers, where spike-shaped defects are more common.

Career Highlights

Bogatzki’s listed company affiliation includes Elpatronic AG. His patent subjects reflect a focus on automated inspection and defect detection in container manufacturing.
