Company Profile

Founded in 1977 by Dipl. Ing. Michael Horst miho Inspektionssysteme GmbH has developed to a global, medium sized company and is one of the leading providers of inspection technology in the beverage filling industry and return logistics since then.

Miho has set standards for the inspection of returnable PET bottles for the entire filling process. For example, the entire thread area, including the vent slots, are checked for damage and contamination. With mihos inspection systems it is possible to find stress cracks on the bottle-base, which can lead to leaks. Even markings that have been made with permanent markers, that are not completely removed in the bottle washer which are very difficult to detect, can now be detected reliably. Many more features offer integrated solutions that have not been available in this way before. But miho also sets new standards for the inspection of glass bottles and swing top bottles over the entire filling process. The sensitive side finish areas are inspected up to the thread segment, including a "full thread inspection" for foreign bodies, cracks, bursts, contamination and similar faults.
