Fill level and closure inspection system

Ensure precise fill levels and secure closures in high-speed liquid packaging environments with advanced monitoring and rejection systems, protecting product integrity and line efficiency while preventing costly recalls.

Monitors and Inspects Fill Levels and Closures

The HEUFT SPECTRUM II VX from HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK is a fill management and inspection system tailored for beverage, food, and pharmaceutical applications, ensuring precise product quality control. This system is distinct for its ability to detect and expose fill level and closure faults, using modular detection technology suitable for both transparent and opaque containers. Equipped with advanced camera and X-ray technology, it excels in detecting underfills, overfills, and ensuring closure integrity, reducing false rejection rates significantly.

The HEUFT SPECTRUM II VX is designed to handle high-speed operations, managing up to 100,000 containers per hour, making it perfect for high-volume production lines. It supports industries such as bottled beverages, pasteurized milk, and pharmaceutical effervescent products, among others. The system’s automation capabilities include PLC control and network-based real-time monitoring, which integrates seamlessly with existing production lines, allowing for remote diagnostics and reduced downtime.

Engineered with a focus on efficiency, the HEUFT SPECTRUM II VX reduces energy consumption, optimizing motor usage while providing high accuracy in product inspection via AI-driven image processing. It is made with durable materials, ensuring corrosion resistance and compliance with industry standards like GMP for pharmaceuticals. Maintenance is streamlined with features like automatic sampling and built-in cleaning functions, reducing manual intervention and ensuring sustained operational efficiency. Custom engineering support is available for tailoring system configurations to meet specific production needs.
