The exactness when detecting shell-shaped fractures, chips or glass splinters on the bottom of a bottle opens up new dimensions due to the unique pulsed X-ray technology. A glass in glass detection is even possible when the transparent foreign object is surrounded by residual liquid. For this the HEUFTInLine II IXS produces extremely clear X-ray images without any motion blurs and with minimum radiation exposure. These are analysed in real time by the HEUFT reflexx² image processing system just like the detection pictures generated by the superior optical modules.
The conveyor belt of the empty bottle inspector is driven by precisely working servo motors so that the inspection covers the complete container volume. Thus a specifically adjustable angle of rotation is implemented for each individual type of container – the bottles are correctly positioned and aligned at all the detection units. In addition the servo technology reduces the proportion of components prone to wear and makes product changes particularly fast and easy due to clearly reproducible brand adjustments. The audiovisual HEUFT NaVi user guidance ensures maximum simplicity and transparency.
