INSPECTION 31 PET planet Insider Vol. 19 No. 07+08/18 www.petpla.net Manufacturing image processing & inspection machinery Impurities detected For the Propak Asia, held from June 13-16, 2018 in Thai- land, members of P&S Technology were assembling the latest preform inspection machine (PS-21GP S2W) and the new concept centrifugal preform feeder brought directly from Korea in order to promote them on overseas markets. P&S Technology is a company specialised in the manufacturing of image processing and inspection machines. Since 1997, the com- pany has focused on developing and manufacturing image processing and impurities inspection machine inde- pendently.Since 1999, the company has run a technology research centre consisting of researchers with MD and PhD degrees. It has been releasing inspection machines for preform and glass bottles for the food and bever- ages sectors, alcoholic drinks, and automatic inspection instruments for the inside and outside of can and bottle lids. Also, machinery for the inspection of instruments for phar- maceutical vial bottles & pills, cos- metics containers, filled and empty bottles, straw inspection machines, vision inspection machines etc. based currently on around twenty patented technologies. The company is equipped with the small quantity batch production system to develop customised products tailored to cus- tomers’ needs. Its impurities inspec- tion machine acquired the ISO9001 certification and can accurately detect impurities and defects on the inside and outside of cans and bottles. In particular, its (PS-21GP) preform inspection machine is said to thoroughly inspect the whole surface of the preform by applying a rotary type mirror track- ing system, can overcome the limit in utilisation of space with its built-in gate cutting device and also is reasonable in terms of price. Its vision inspection machine can automatically inspect 800 PET and glass bottles per minute, 1,600 cans a minute and 3,000 per minute in case of the surface and side of bottle lids at high speed. P&S Technology has also devel- oped an image processing-based software, a smart camera, various controllers and control systems and in addition, has recently developed an inspection machine fitted with a special lens and lighting. Cosmetics manufac- turers are showing huge interest in this instrument because it can carry out the inspection of the surface of cosmetics containers and check printing quality as well as inspecting impurities on the inside and outside of containers simul- taneously, says the company. For the last 10 years, the company has received tremendous attention from buyers in industrial exhibitions in China, Japan and Thailand and it accounts for a high share of the domestic market with its policy of high quality, high per- formance and reasonable price. In addi- tion, it has 12 overseas agencies which are in active operation and is gearing up for establishing a service centre and an instrument production factory in Bangkok for the South East Asian cus- tomers by 2020. Further to this, in order to explore Europe, Middle East and African emerging market, it continues to expand its overseas sales area. www.pnstech.co.kr INSPECTION S P E C I A L
