Empty can inspection system for food industry
Ensure seamless production flow by detecting faulty cans before filling, preventing blockages, and safeguarding product safety with precise top-down inspections for maximum line efficiency.
Inspects and Rejects Defective Empty Cans
The HEUFT canLine II empty can inspection system from HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK GMBH is designed to optimize your beverage, food, and pharmaceutical production lines by detecting and rejecting faulty empty cans with precision. Utilizing a top-down color sensor camera, it inspects each can for deformations, contaminants, and misalignments before they enter the filling process. Capable of inspecting up to 1,200 cans per minute, it ensures line efficiency without compromising product quality. The in-house developed HEUFTSPECTRUMII platform provides full automation, including automatic format changes and adaptive LED illumination, enhancing operational reliability. This system is especially beneficial for ensuring the safety and integrity of soda, soup, and pharmaceutical cans, as well as other canned goods. Made with robust materials, the HEUFT canLine II excels in rigorous, continuous, and high-speed manufacturing environments, offering seamless integration into existing lines and scalability through modular upgrades.
