Inspecting full glass bottles in rotary systems
Glass fragments and splinters do not stand a chance
Anyone who has operated a filling line knows: Broken glass appears in the line again and again – and may have unpleasant repercussions. The splinters are distributed throughout the entire line and, in a worst case scenario, could enter the beverage undetected. The RotoCheck inspector protects against such a risk. This is because it detects even the smallest and shallowest glass particles in the filled bottles. So that you have the safe certainty: The bottles that leave your production line do not contain anything other than pure taste and first-class quality.
