In-line leak detection system for beer bottles
Ensure beer quality by detecting leaks and measuring pressure in every bottle post-pasteurization, reducing waste and safeguarding product integrity through advanced in-line laser spectroscopy.
Detects Leaks and Measures Pressure in Beer Bottles
The PCS BEER from Antares Vision Group revolutionizes in-line leak detection in high-speed beer packaging. Utilizing laser spectroscopy, it directly measures headspace pressure in each bottle, ensuring precision and adaptability across diverse cap types and bottle materials. Positioned post-pasteurization, the system identifies leaks from cap misalignments or neck defects, preserving beer quality and shelf-life. Ideal for breweries and beverage manufacturers, it monitors continuous production for leaks and pressure variations, minimizing waste and false rejects. With a hygienic, compact design, it easily integrates into existing lines, offering a user-friendly interface and real-time data insights for quick issue identification and resolution. The PCS BEER supports varied beer types, including craft brews, lagers, and non-alcoholic options, enhancing overall operational efficiency and sustainability in beverage production.
