Inspection system upgrades improve interface, tracking

PETtec Filtec's upgraded inspection system for PET bottles provides continuous monitoring and statistical analysis of line operations. The system uses high-resolution cameras to identify filler and capper efficiencies. It includes filler valve and capper head tracking and diagnostics.

What's new? Updates released in the past couple months, including a touch-screen interface, multiple user-access tiers and encoder tracking.

Benefits Compact footprint, ease of use and access to real-time information about line operations. The system can detect if bottles have been over- or underfilled, whether the bottles have been properly sealed and whether labels are present.
