Advanced foreign object inspection for full beverage containers
Ensure consumer safety and brand protection with advanced X-ray and optical technologies designed to detect and reject foreign objects in glass containers at high speeds, minimizing recall risks and enhancing product integrity.
Detects and Rejects Foreign Objects in Glass Containers
The HEUFT eXaminer II XOS is a highly automated inspection system designed by HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK for detecting and rejecting foreign objects in glass containers, such as bottles and jars, used across the beverage, food, and pharmaceutical industries. It excels with its advanced integration of pulsed X-ray technology and optical inspection, capable of identifying both high-density (stones, metal fragments) and low-density (glass splinters, foil) contaminants. Suitable for products like glass bottle soft drinks, bottled water, and glass jar pharmaceuticals, the system operates at high speeds, ensuring minimal interference with production flow.
Utilizing HEUFTreflexxA.I. image processing, it achieves high precision with a false rejection rate of less than 0.2%, even under challenging conditions such as product turbidity or varying glass thickness. The system’s adaptability is enhanced by modular extensions for fill level and closure presence inspections. It integrates seamlessly onto production lines with its HEUFT SPECTRUM II platform, allowing real-time data transmission and remote monitoring for optimal efficiency management. Moreover, its energy-efficient design minimizes radiation while maximizing safety and reliability. Constructed with hygiene in mind, the HEUFTCleanDesign facilitates easy cleaning, making it ideal for sensitive environments.
