Empty bottle inspector with deep learning

In bottling facilities, ensuring that containers are free from contaminants, material defects, and other inconsistencies before filling is critical. Traditional inspection methods often miss minute details, leading to potential issues in the final product stage.

Accurately inspects and sorts empty containers

The Linatronic from Krones is an advanced container inspection system equipped with Deep Learning technology. It inspects empty glass and PET containers for material damage, contamination, and residual particles with high precision. The use of DART 4.0 software provides a low false rejection rate of just 0.3%, ensuring that only fault-free containers proceed further. Modules include foreign-bottle detection, side-wall inspection, thread and lateral neck finish inspection, base inspection, and high-frequency residual caustic detection. Additional benefits include quick type change-over, long-life resilient conveyor belts, and GRS remote service for immediate assistance. These features make it suitable for diverse inspection needs in bottling facilities.
