CAPS & CLOSURES 31 PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 01+02/25 www.petpla.net Marius Pötting. As a result, the system now has a footprint of just 2.4m² and therefore offers nearly the same inspection performance in half the space of a conventional setup. Technical features of the CapWatcher Compact The CapWatcher Compact offers numerous technical functions for inline plastic closure inspection: Integrated hopper and conveyor technology: The integrated hopper offers a capacity of up to 140 l. The feeder uses the familiar waterfall principle to efficiently transport closures into the inspection section. Comprehensive quality assurance: In addition to the standard modules for inner and outer closure inspection, unique and market-proven modules for micro hole inspection and cavity number reading are implemented. The top wall inspection (e.g. for inspecting prints for contamination etc.) is also available as an option. High speed: With an inspection performance of up to 40 closures per second, the system meets high-speed requirements. Second ejector: Despite the limited space, a second ejector is integrated, which can be used for sorting out quality shots or blacklisting, for example. Wide product range: The CapWatcher Compact is designed for the inspection of common CSD closures as well as tethered caps. Product-specific settings: The electrically adjustable jet height is saved for each product, and it automatically adjusts when changing products. Fault and jam detection: The system automatically recognises (by implemented sensors), when faulty moulded closures become jammed, and localises the position precisely. This ensures uninterrupted and fluent production. Ease of maintenance: Despite the compact construction, the design allows easy access to all components thanks to doors on all sides. To complete the downstream equipment, customers only need a cooling conveyor and a packaging unit in addition to the CapWatcher Compact. However, Intravis can also supply these elements as a turnkey supplier. Solution for modern production requirements With its compact design, the CapWatcher Compact addresses one of the most urgent problems in the industry: Limited space in production halls. Particularly in Europe, attempts are being made to produce more and more in the same or smaller space. With the integration of sorting, feeding and inspection in one unit, Intravis now offers a space-saving and efficient solution. “The CapWatcher Compact shows how important it is to adapt flexibly to the needs of customers. It is yet another example of how we at Intravis see ourselves as a partner to our customers. We are always ready to take on new challenges. With the CapWatcher Compact, we are proud that we have created again great value for our customers as well as our industry in general,” summarises Marius Pötting. www.intravis.com Internal accessibility
