In-line leak detection system for beer bottles
Ensuring the integrity of beer bottles post-pasteurization is crucial for maintaining quality and preventing spoilage. Challenges such as leaks from improper capping or minor defects in the bottle neck can compromise product quality.
Detect leaks and measure internal pressure
The PCS BEER by Antares Vision is an advanced inspection technology for in-line leak detection by measuring the total headspace pressure of each individual beer bottle. Located immediately after pasteurization, it intercepts leaks due to incorrect closure or defects in the bottle thread neck. Utilizing laser spectroscopy, the system provides direct and non-contact inspection, ensuring accurate and versatile performance regardless of bottle type or cap variations. It offers real-time monitoring of pressure levels across the entire production, optimizing quality and reducing waste. The system visualizes production trends quickly, identifying recurring defects and allowing for prompt corrective actions, thereby safeguarding product quality and brand reputation.
