Outcome

The Full Can Inspector (FCI) offers a comprehensive inspection system tailored to the needs of the customer, providing solutions to key quality challenges:

 

  • Fill Level Verification: Ensures that each can contains the correct amount of product, preventing inconsistencies.
  • Seal Integrity Monitoring: Confirms that each can’s seal is properly applied, preventing leaks and spoilage.
  • Pressure Control: Monitors and maintains appropriate internal pressure.
  • Filler and Seamer Management: Provide continuous feedback and control over the filling process, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall productivity.
  • The process ensures that faulty filling heads and seamer heads can easily be tracked from the FCI HMI thereby reducing downtime and mean time to repair.

By integrating this advanced inspection technology, the customer has optimized its production process and improved product reliability.
