Precision filler management to ensure line efficiency and reduce product loss
FILTEC offers a range of photon and vision Filler Management Systems to fit almost any bottle or canning line. The solutions use machine vision to measure fill levels in clear glass or PET bottles, or photons for fill level in aluminum cans.
Closely monitoring filler performance keeps high-speed line operations smooth and in line with quality assurance (QA) standards. FILTEC systems can identify under-performing or broken valves within seconds. Immediate warnings prevent wasted product, container damages, and line failures.
FILTEC Filler Management runs on the INTELLECT platform, offering end-to-end, connected, and scalable inspection capabilities on your line.
FILTEC’s Filler Management Solutions Include:
Vision Filler Management Solution for Bottles
System Highlights:
- Designed for glass and transparent PET bottles on lines operating up to 1,200 bottles per minute (BPM)
- High-accuracy encoders and optical sensors: Inspect every bottle in detail as they proceed down the line.
- Vision enclosure: Protects the entire inspection process from ambient light interference.
- Automatic Changeover: with automatic motorized positioning of the camera, trigger and LED strobes whenever a new bottle type is run.
X-Ray Filler Management Solution for Bottles
System Highlights:
- Designed for glass and transparent PET bottles on lines operating up to 1,600 bottles per minute (BPM)
- Inspection is performed at the discharge of the filler and closer system
- X-Ray Inspection Head: Provides non-contact measurement for each bottle’s fill level.
- Photon Fill Level Application: Reduces content under fill, overfill and product give-away.
X-Ray Filler Management Solution for Cans
System Highlights:
- Utilizes photon technology for accurate, reliable detection of the fill level in cans
- Designed for lines operating up to 2,500 cans per minute (CPM)
- X-Ray Inspection Head: Non-contact measurement for
each can’s fill level even though the contents are not
visible. - Photon Fill Level Application: Reduces content under fill,
overfill and product give-away.
Pre-Seamer Filler Management Solution for Cans
System Highlights:
- This compact solution fits in a unique installation location
between the filler and seamer, providing true can fill level and
valve performance measurement. - Advanced inspection system that utilizes X-Ray or Gamma
photon technology on lines operating up to 2,500 cans per
minute (CPM). - Compact Photon Inspection Head: Non-contact measurement
for each can’s fill level, even though the contents are not
visible.
Additional Application Options Include:
- Slosh Compensation
- Foam Compensation
- Closure Color
- Pattern Inspection
- Date Code Inspection
- Closure Defect Inspection
- Vent Tube Detection
- Pressure Inspection
- Quantitative Analysis
- Label Inspection
With INTELLECT Integration, you will have a deeper view of your line data. INTELLECT provides:
- Continuous monitoring and statistical analysis of line operations
- A sampling of filler valves and closer/capper heads at high production speeds
- Isolation and evaluation of the performance of individual filler valves and closer/capper heads
