X-ray Inspection in upright Containers
The Challenge
The production of gummies packaged in plastic bottles are on the rise. They are easier for both kids and adults to take their vitamins and they generate high profit margins for manufacturers. However, supplement manufacturers face production mishaps and every day obstacles.
- Foreign object detection – physical contaminants can enter the product before the bottles are sealed and detection after this point on the production line is next to impossible.
- Missing cap detection – detecting missing bottle tops once the vitamin gummies are cased is very difficult and almost impossible to locate with the naked eye and can cause serious safety issues for the final customer.
- Mass measurement – ensuring each individual bottle has the same amount of gummies is crucial to bottom-line profits.
