Inspection systems for fillers and cappers
In beverage and food production, ensuring that fill levels are accurate and caps are properly sealed are critical quality control steps. Inconsistent fill levels and misplaced caps can lead to product waste, safety hazards, and customer dissatisfaction.
Ensures accuracy in fill levels and cap positions
The Krones Checkmat is a highly precise inspection system designed for fillers and cappers. It performs rigorous checks on fill levels to within one millimeter and inspects bottle caps for correct positioning and the condition of tamper-evident rings. Using high-frequency, infrared, gamma, or X-ray technology, it detects both underfill and overfill situations. With the capability to inspect up to 120,000 containers per hour, it suits both glass and PET containers and cans. Additionally, it offers various camera-based options for detecting issues like cap absence, slanted position, and damage. Suitable for slightly foaming and non-foaming products, this system promises continuous container inspection without the need for a radiation protection officer, except for gamma-based models. Produced by Krones, it integrates seamlessly with filler management solutions for production, quality, and safety management.
