Empty Container Inspection

Antares Vision Group offers advanced in-line solutions for empty can and empty bottle inspection, ensuring high-quality production standards in the food and beverage industry.

Our Empty Can Inspection System detects defects such as scratches, fragments, deformations, and issues with flange width, ovality, and dents, ensuring cans are ready for the filling process. Similarly, the Empty Bottle Inspection (EBI) System uses AI-driven deep learning to identify subtle defects and contaminants in bottles, including chip finishes, body imperfections, and washing residues. Both systems enhance operational efficiency, reduce product rejects, and maintain the integrity of the final product.

Empty Can Inspection

The Empty Can Inspection System is designed to detect defects quickly and accurately in empty cans before filling, ensuring the quality and safety of the final product. It reduces jams by identifying defects such as scratches, fragments, foreign bodies, deformations, and issues with flange width, ovality, and dents. The system inspects the flange, inner sidewalls, inner base, and residual liquid, with an optional 360° inspection of the can's exterior.

Benefits:

Eliminate the risk of defects of the flange, sidewall and base of the can or contamination by foreign bodies, fragments or inclusion
Reduce cost, jams and rejects of filling products.
Artificial vision
Suitable for various can sizes and can types
Available for high-speeds
Production records and pictures storage
X-ray module for residual liquid detection
Expandable with other inspections

Empty Bottle Inspection

The Empty Bottle Inspection (EBI) System is designed to detect defects in empty bottles before filling, using deep learning (AI) to distinguish between inherent variables and defects. This advanced system enhances inspection performance by detecting subtle defects, reducing false rejects, and simplifying operator use. It accurately inspects every side of the bottle for contaminants, imperfections, and defects, including chip finish, bottle body, base, washing residues, and thread (optional), minimising jams and rejects during the filling process.

Benefits:

Avoid bottle bursts during filling
Artificial vision
Inspection and analysis of bottles with a wide range of shapes and bases
Production records and pictures storage
Empowered with AI for body defects of the bottle
Subtle defects detection
Distinction between intrinsic variability and defects
Reduction of false reject
Continuous improvement in defects
Expandable with other inspections
