Full container inspection for glass and Pet bottles
Ensure the highest product quality by detecting foreign objects and material defects in full glass and PET bottles with precision and reliability.
Inspects and Rejects Contaminated Full Containers
The HEUFT Spotter II SF, part of the HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK lineup, is a highly automated full container optical inspection system engineered for rigorous quality control in beverage, food, and pharmaceutical production. This system stands out for its capability to conduct complete 360° inspections of glass and PET bottles, identifying low-density foreign objects like film, paper, and insects in transparent liquids. Utilizing the HEUFT SPECTRUM II platform, it integrates optical base and sidewall inspections with HEUFT reflexx A.I. real-time image processing for exceptional detection reliability.
The system’s servo-controlled alignment ensures effective inspection coverage, increasing throughput with a capacity of up to 72,000 bottles per hour. With automated brand changes and the HEUFT NaVi user guidance, it seamlessly adapts to different container formats, enhancing operational efficiency. Its network capabilities facilitate remote monitoring, while HEUFT CleanDesign prioritizes hygiene with sloping surfaces for easy cleaning. Highly modular, the system can integrate optional modules for fill level, closure, and label inspection, making it a versatile choice for maintaining product safety and compliance in dynamic production environments.
