X-ray assisted empty bottle inspection
In beverage production, ensuring that empty bottles are free from defects and contaminants is crucial for maintaining product quality and safety. Traditional inspection methods often miss microscopic defects, leading to potential contamination and costly product recalls.
Identify minute defects with x-ray precision
The HEUFT InLine II IXS utilizes advanced X-ray strobes and optical detection modules to perform a thorough, all-around inspection of empty bottles. This system combines pulsed X-ray technology for inspecting the bottle base with high-performance cameras for sidewall, thread, and finish inspection. The HEUFT reflexx A.I. image processing system integrates real-time image analysis, ensuring precise identification of chips, cracks, and residual liquids like lye and oil. Servo technology aligns each container optimally, enabling comprehensive detection with minimal radiation exposure. The HEUFT SPECTRUM II platform provides high automation and intuitive user guidance, making operation straightforward and reducing the risk of manual errors. The system can handle up to 72,000 empty bottles per hour with a false rejection rate of 0.03% for base and sidewall inspection and 0.01% for residual liquid detection.
