Quality Control & Inspection

Guarantee a quality product every time with fast and reliable inspection in real-time with total traceability

Ensuring your products are of optimal quality before they reach supermarket shelves is key to maximising production efficiency whilst avoiding costly product recalls and damage to your brand’s reputation. Bringing increased automation to the production process often means an increase in speed where manual checks are costly and not enough to spot every product defect.

Increased productivity

The verification of your products rejected from the line due to defect, foreign bodies, wrong or missing labels and over and underweight allows you to intervene on the process in real-time, reducing risks and recovering productivity.

Less waste

Automatic weight control allows you to know in real-time the "average filling weight". This avoids production waste and verifies consistency between the measured weight and the declared weight. Feedback to primary filling systems is also available.

Total check for crates and cases

Checking all the packs made it into the case or crate before they leave your factory. No more missing packs at the supermarket or wholesaler.

Space saving “all in one” systems

All quality control and inspection methods can be combined in one smart system, saving space and generating room for further automation.

All in one food inspection systems

An innovative solution, unique on the market, capable of combining space saving and optimising of production with multiple checks in real time on one food inspection machine. Each individual product is inspected with a single machine.

Checkweigher

The checkweigher is a high-precision measuring instrument designed to check the weight of individual products. On board reporting and networking allows you to see your line efficiency in real time and guarantees the right weight for the consumer.

Metal detector

By detecting the presence of metal contamination, our metal detectors for food provide effective protection against ferrous and non-ferrous metals (aluminium, stainless steel, etc.) and guarantee customer safety.

X-ray food inspection

Our inspection technology uses X-rays to identify foreign bodies of different densities. It generates a grayscale image of the product and the software, through a multi-algorithm analysis, highlights any contaminants.

Leak and seal inspection

An innovative application of IR spectroscopy to detect inline holes and microholes in packages by checking for CO₂ leakage (for MAP products), alcohol or a specific flavour. In-line sealing area inspection to detect the presence of products and physical contaminants. Available for transparent or coloured film and packaging through hyperspectral or artificial vision technologies.

Vision inspection

Knowing you have the right information on your packs is critical to consumer safety and your brand reputation.

Inspection to check the quality of labels (alignment, positioning, items or brand, languages, etc.), codes (expired data, lot number, barcode, DataMa-trix, QR code) and the correlation between single products and secondary packaging. Vision inspection can also check packaging seals for any leaks.

Microwave food inspection

Foreign bodies that X-rays and metal detectors fail to detect are detected by inspection with microwave technology. Plastic, glass, wood, bones, rubber, insects, and all metals, regardless of their size or composition, are from now on detectable. This is a new solution in development – register your interest to find out more.
