Non-contact non-destructive inspection system Teledyne Taptone

The Case Tracker pressure/vacuum monitoring system is used to test the integrity of a wide variety of food and beverage products. This user friendly system is designed for non-contact, non-destructive, 100% automatic container inspection through a sealed cardboard and/or shrink wrapped case.

The primary function of the Case Tracker is to inspect containers in closed cardboard or shrink-wrapped cases for loss of pressure or vacuum. Any case with a container(s) that fall outside user set limits will be rejected. In many applications, the Case Tracker will detect defects other than low pressure or vacuum. Some examples are gross swollen cans, missing containers, dented cans, missing lids, popped safety buttons, or broken bottles.

There are two configurations from which to choose. The first style is an on-line system, which mounts to an existing conveyor usually located after the case packer system. This system is compact and easy to integrate to an existing conveyor. An optional rejection system is available as well as an optional spray marker system to mark the location of defective containers on the outside of the case for easy identification and rework.

The second configuration is a self-standing system with a six-foot inspection conveyor. A typical application for this system is in the warehouse area. This system may have wheels for easy movement to remote areas of the warehouse. There are optional infeed and exit conveyors for ease of palletizing and depalletizing. An optional case rejection system with high speed push rejector is also available for this system.
