HEUFT Prime

Heuft Prime is deployed for inspecting the fill level, checking the presence, position and tightness of closures, detecting unlabeled full bottles, burst bottles and serial faults with the consistent rejecting of faulty products. This is easier than ever before with the advent of this machine! Because the compact full container checks combine different detection technologies with a high degree of automation and the audiovisual HEUFT Natural View user guidance

• Fill Level Detection: Too little, too much or exactly right: the HEUFT full container inspection can be perfectly equipped with different detection modules for a precise fill level detection.
• Closure detection: Missing, incorrectly positioned and leaking: the HEUFT PRIME identifies closure faults such as these reliably. Different procedures are used for this: it checks the presence and position with special sensor and optical technologies. Therefore missing closures or closure elements which are too high are noticed immediately. The same applies to deviating closure curvatures which draw conclusions about the internal pressure and consequently the tightness of the containers.
• Label Check: Collar, body, neck or wrap-around label: there must not be any missing! The HEUFT PRIME checks whether this is really the case by means of special sensors which make use of the different reflection characteristics of the container surface and the label. Therefore it is immediately clear when one or several of them are missing. The sensors can be directly integrated in the labeller. A presence check is also possible whilst the containers are being transported on the conveyor as an alternative.
• Serial Fault Detection: Specific, in good time and sustainable: the HEUFT PRIME prevents faults from becoming serial faults and impairing the productivity of the complete filling and packaging line. For example an integrated locator function records when a particular filler valve regularly underfills in good time. A switch-off pulse is emitted when the number of faulty fillings exceeds a certain, individually adjustable threshold value. Therefore malfunctions can be rectified before they can threaten the safety and quality of complete batches and cause rejection rates which are too high. The HEUFT PRIME also notices recurring closure and labelling faults in good time and prevents these from going into production and thwarting the efficiency and productivity of the whole line by means of a stop signal.
• Fault Rejection: Fast, careful and accurate: highest precision when detecting faults is only effective if the products in question are also removed afterwards. The single-segment and multi-segment rejection systems of the HEUFT rejector series deal with this both precisely and carefully.
• Product Monitoring and self-test: Always knowing the current location of a particular product: each one is tracked precisely for this. This ensures that none remain uninspected. The integrated reject verification checks that each product identified as faulty is really removed. Standard test programs guarantee a regular examination of the detection performance. Network-based continuous documenting and long-term archiving of the results.
• Optional Additional Functions: The range of functions of the HEUFT PRIME with its modular design can be extended at any time. Thus the HEUFT sonic module checks the tightness of metal closures highly precisely. The optionally available bottle burst detection registers bottles which burst in the filler immediately and draws the right conclusions: not only are these rejected but also adjacently filled bottles and those which have been filled during the subsequent circuits with the same valve. Therefore products contaminated with glass splinters cannot reach the customer.
