Labels and codes

LBI

  • Label inspection
  • Code reading

Positioned downstream of the labeller, it verifies the correct placement and integrity of applied labels, detecting and signalling defects; paired with a REJ or QLS rejection system it removes the defective item from the line.

What it inspects

  • Label integrity

    Tears, stains, incomplete label

    Front and back labels, read on the whole bottle with high-resolution cameras and dedicated illuminators.
