What are they?
The bottle inspection machines are devices used in the packaging industry to control the quality of bottles before, during, or after the production process. These machines are designed to identify defects or imperfections in the bottles that could compromise the quality of the final product, such as cracks, fractures, contamination, or anomalies in shape and filling.
Inspection machines are essential to ensure that only perfect bottles reach the packaging stage, avoiding material waste and reducing the risk of damage to consumers or the brand's reputation.
What do we offer?
1. Artificial Vision Inspection Machines
Operation: These machines use high-definition cameras and artificial vision software to detect visual defects on bottles. The cameras take photos or videos of the bottles moving along the production line, and thanks to advanced algorithms, imperfections are identified.
Features:
They use artificial intelligence to analyze the image of the bottle.
They can detect external defects (scratches, cracks) or shape-related defects (deformed bottles).
They can be integrated with other systems for a 360-degree view of the bottle.
Advantages:
High precision in identifying defects even invisible to the naked eye.
Ability to monitor large production volumes in real-time.
Disadvantages:
Require a significant initial investment for installation and calibration.
Maintenance and calibration must be performed regularly to maintain high reliability.
2. Fill Level Inspection Machines
Operation: These machines are designed to measure the liquid level in bottles, ensuring they are properly filled. They can be used to detect under-filled or over-filled bottles.
Features:
Often use capacitive level sensors or laser sensors to accurately determine the product level inside the bottle.
In some cases, they can also detect the presence of foam or any foreign bodies inside the bottle.
Advantages:
Ensures that each bottle is filled correctly.
Reduces the risk of production errors that can affect product quality.
Disadvantages:
Cannot detect visual defects such as scratches or deformations.
Works only on filled bottles and not on empty bottles.
3. Shape and Size Inspection Machines
Operation: These machines check that the bottles meet the expected dimensions and shape, detecting any deformations or dimensional defects. They are often used for plastic or glass bottles, where precision in shape is crucial.
Features:
Use laser sensors or camera systems to measure and compare the shape and size of the bottle with preset parameters.
Can also detect defects such as cracks or misalignments.
Advantages:
Help ensure that the bottles comply with design standards.
By reducing the risk of aesthetic defects, they increase customer satisfaction.
Disadvantages:
Cannot detect internal defects such as content contamination.
4. Contamination Inspection Machines
Operation: These machines are designed to detect the presence of foreign bodies or contaminants inside the bottles, such as dust, debris, or plastic pieces. They often use X-ray systems or vision sensors to perform the check.
Features:
X-rays can detect internal contaminants, such as glass, metal, or plastic that may have remained in the bottle.
Infrared cameras can detect invisible contaminants such as fine dust.
Advantages:
Very useful for ensuring food safety and product quality.
Can detect contaminants both inside and outside the bottle.
Disadvantages:
Require precise calibration and can be more expensive than other types of inspection.
5. Labeling and Sealing Inspection Machines
Operation: These machines verify the correctness of labeling and sealing of bottles, ensuring that the label is correctly positioned, not damaged, and that the bottle seal (if present) is intact.
Features:
Can use vision systems to check the position, format, and integrity of labels.
Can also check the presence of seals (such as plastic or metal ones) and verify that they are correctly applied.
Advantages:
Ensures that each bottle has the right label and is correctly positioned.
Reduces packaging errors and ensures the product is ready for the market.
Disadvantages:
Cannot detect internal defects or structural defects of the bottle.
6. Glass Bottle Inspection Machines
Operation: These machines are specifically designed for the inspection of glass bottles. They can use a combination of artificial vision and X-ray systems to detect visual defects, cracks, chips, and other anomalies typical of glass bottles.
Features:
Often include high-resolution cameras and specialized sensors capable of detecting imperfections in the glass.
Can also perform checks on the transparency of the glass and detect any structural defects.
