The Heuft InLineII IXS detects cracks, chips, dirt and other particles in empty bottles

USING pulsed X-ray technology, the Heuft InLineII IXS empty bottle inspection system sees through, around and under bottles. It checks for chips, shell-shaped fractures, cracks, broken glass, glass splinters, and, which cannot be seen with the naked eye, all of which can affect production. The machine can detect residual liquids in bottles, which can threaten the safety of the end product.

The system has two different methods in order to detect and remove the empty bottles in question before the filling process:  it identifies residual lye using high frequency technology and oil and varnish with infrared sensors.

Optical base inspection allows the detection of low density foreign objects reliably. An illumination without reflections or shadows and specially positioned high-performance cameras even make transparent and reflecting faults visible.

Empty bottles are individually aligned using servo technology so that the inspection covers the entire base area completely.  The HEUFT reflexx² image processing system combines and analyzes the detection pictures in real time and implements a specific teaching in procedure.

Products in question are also removed afterwards by single-segment and multi-segment rejection systems of the HEUFT rejector series.

The machine processes 72,000 bottles per hour and an accuracy rate of 0.03 percent false rejection rate for base and sidewall inspection, according to the Heuft.
