Empty containers

EBI

  • Container inspection
  • Pre-filling inspection

Inspects glass or PET bottles and containers upstream of the filler: it removes non-compliant containers or containers with foreign objects from production, raising finished-product quality and bottling safety.

What it inspects

  • Container finish

    Cracks, abrasions, chipping

    Baga module. On glass and PET; it moves to follow containers of different heights.

  • Base

    Defects, deformation, cracks · Foreign body in the container

    The recognition software keeps false rejects low.

  • Walls

    Scratches, deformation, splits

    Requires a semi-transparent container; the rejection system removes the defect from the line.

  • Thread

    Defects and cracks

    High-quality optics read the entire thread through 360°.

  • Residual liquid

    Presence in the base

    Optional module, checked at the bottom of the bottle.

Frequently asked questions

What does EBI inspect?

Container finish, base, thread and sidewalls on empty glass or PET containers, upstream of the filler. The optional residual-liquid module also checks the bottom of the bottle.

How many modules can be combined?

Up to four: Finish, Base, Thread and Sidewalls, plus the optional residual-liquid check. Finish and Base move to follow containers of different heights; Thread reads the entire thread through 360° with dedicated optics.

How does it integrate with the line and with Industry 4.0?

Ethernet for local and internet connections; OPC-UA, MQTT and Modbus for Industry 4.0. It interfaces with the rejection systems that remove the non-compliant container from the line.
