Comparing Beverage Applications
Quality Matters for Beverage Producers – both in Product and Package
Bulk Material and Ingredients
- Inspect your loose or packaged ingredients for rocks, metal, glass and other environmental contaminants
- High speed throughput ensures no bottleneck in production
- Multilane automatic rejection minimizes product loss and rework
Empty Containers
- X-ray Empty Bottles to identify inclusions, bubbles, finish area defects, and thin side walls
- Inspect Empty or Filled Cans for seam defects, dents, and container integrity issues
- Remove defective containers before filling to reduce breaks at the filler, capper, and seamer – minimize line stoppages and product loss
- Effortless and rapid changeovers
Foreign Material Inspection
- High speed full container X-ray with no masking – inspects “behind the punt”
- Detects foreign material – glass, metal, bone, stone, rubber and hard plastics in bottles and cans
- Non-contact inspection to preserve container integrity
Filler/Seamer Monitoring
- Correlate filler and seamer positions to filled containers at all times – for every container
- Real-time alerting when fillers deviate from thresholds – don’t wait for sampling
- Focus maintenance resources on the outliers – leave good fillers alone
Volumetric Fill Measurement
- High precision volumetric fill measurement and headspace monitoring
- Calculates volume from image data throughout the container – not just within an aperture
- Higher precision in foamy or frothy post-fill positions
Seal Integrity for Capped Containers
- Vacuum and pressure verification for cans and bottles
- Compact footprint mounts over existing conveyor – eliminating the need for transfers
- Sophisticated algorithms compensate for pull tabs and other container types
Confirming Fill-Level
- High precision fill-level and headspace monitoring
- Production speeds up to 3,000 cpm with no spacing requirements
- Streamlined installation for non-contact inspection and automatic rejection
Outbound Cartons and Cases
- Flexible, economical approach to content verification
- Inspection options for fill level, proud bottle and open flap detection
- Easy set-up and changeover
