The centerpiece of Pressco’s wet-end family of solutions, the FHCP series of full bottle inspection modules are designed to be integrated onto existing conveyors at the exit of the filler. The multi-camera FHCP-3X sees 360-degrees around each filled and capped bottle, monitoring fill level and ensuring that the correct closure is applied properly.
Featuring both color and hi-res cameras, a swivel-mounted touchscreen and a full NEMA4X/IP65-rated stainless housing with built-in air conditioning, the FHCP-3X has been optimized for high-speed filling lines, and yet is very sensitive to visual flaws. Machine defect correlation data helps to quickly identify filler valve, rinser or capper head failures. A forced sampling mode assists in QA audits. Either pusher or diverter rejection options are available.
