Empty can inspection system for food industry
Ensuring the integrity of empty cans before the filling process in food production is crucial. Faults like deformations or contamination can lead to blockages and product recalls, affecting efficiency and safety.
Detect and reject faulty cans efficiently
The HEUFT canLine II is an advanced inspection solution designed to identify and remove defective empty cans from production lines in the food industry. Utilizing a top-down color sensor camera developed in-house, it effectively detects deformations, such as oval openings and warped edges, that compromise sealability and packaging integrity. The integrated adaptive LED illumination and high-performance image evaluation ensure precise identification of dents, contaminants, and foreign objects within the can. Capable of inspecting up to 1,200 cans per minute, the system monitors all aspects of the can, including the neck finish, flange, inner walls, and base. Optional modules allow for even more detailed inspections, such as weld seam analysis, at reduced speeds. The HEUFT SPECTRUM II control unit enhances automation, enabling quick format changes and ensuring seamless operation with minimal downtime. HEUFT’s modular design supports easy upgrading, making the canLine II a scalable solution for dynamic production environments.
