The detection of glass breakage is a very sensitive issue for a wide variety of fillers, regardless of the product to be filled. There are special requirements for glass breakage detection, especially in the food sector, since in individual cases products that there contaminated with glass splinters reached the market and the end consumer if they are not detected. At this point, complex and costly recalls of entire batches are necessary.
To prevent this problem from arising in the first place, our dsound® airborne sound sensors can be used to reliably detect glass breakage incidents based on the signal level and frequency characteristics and to stop the filling line via the connection to the PLC before further damage occurs.
