Preform and container inspection system
Maintaining the quality of both preforms and blow-moulded bottles is crucial for efficient production in the beverages industry, where any fault can lead to significant losses. Ensuring that only fault-free preforms and bottles are processed is a common challenge faced by manufacturers.
Checks and eliminates faulty preforms and containers
The PET-View from Krones is an advanced inspection system designed to ensure only flawless preforms and blow-moulded bottles proceed through the production line. It inspects preforms and containers based on various criteria, rejecting any faulty items systematically. The system is integrated directly into the blow moulder and can handle both virgin and recycled PET (rPET). Inspection covers aspects like contamination, banana shape, trapped air, gate length and diameter for preforms, and sealing surface, base, contour, and side wall conditions for containers, among others. Operated via the blow moulder’s touch-screen panel, PET-View allows for convenient and efficient quality control, ensuring trouble-free blow-moulding processes and first-class container quality.
