Industrial Dynamics / filtec offers an array of full container inspection solutions to identify containers that are underfilled or overfilled. Over 10,000 filtec FT-50 gamma source systems have been installed worldwide. The FT-50 inspects for underfill or overfill at speeds up to 144,000 cans per hour or 72,000 bottles per hour. The sealed Americium 241 sourceis warrantied for 40 years, making it the most cost effective solution.
The FT-70 and FT-75 provide the same quality full container inspection using an X-ray generator. See our comparison of X-ray and Gamma technology here.
The FT-47 radio frequency system uses a high frequency electric field to detect underfill and overfill of glass and plastic containers at speeds up to 72,000 cans per hour.
The Vent Tube Detector detects the presence of a loose broken vent tube that has dropped into a bottle during the filling process.
Sensors in the FT-50, FT-70s and FT-47 measure the impact of the liquid in the container on the source radiation or the electrical field. The data is analyzed and the results are recorded and processed resulting in rejection of containers that do not fall within the acceptable parameters.
