BBULL VK-G
Gamma Full Crate/Full Case Inspection to be installed
after the Packer on the Conveyor for Crates, Cartons, Trays and Six Packs
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The last possible point to detect and reject incompletely packed, broken and badly filled
containers is between the packer and the palletizer.
With the new BBULL VK-G (full carton/full crate inspection) it is possible to detect faulty
cartons or crates and remove them from the production process.
BBULL VK-G scans the carton with an unperilious dose of gamma rays.
(Radiation- source: 241 Am 45 mCi)
This principle presents for many applications an essential advantage compared
with optical systems or scales.
The gamma ray method allows an inspection of open or closed cartons
at very high conveyor speeds.
When a faulty carton or crate is detected it can either be removed from the
production process or an acoustic or optical alarm can be activated.
The installation, operation and service of the system is simple.
The adjustment of the parameters is realized for the most
part by the TEACH IN mode.
Self-diagnosis and malfunction display in plain text guarantee high
reliability and easy service.
Existing systems can be easily upgraded with BBULL VK-G.
MODE
OF OPERATION
The system consists of a sensor
bridge with height adjustment
and the control unit
BBULL PC-400 or PC-500.
The sensor bridge is equipped
with an gamma ray source and a highly advanced detector.
While passing the sensor bridge the carton or crate is scanned by harmless gamma rays.
The evaluation of the sensor signals is performed by the control unit that can either energise a rejection unit or activate a signal (optical/acoustical).
| APPLICATION |
| BBULL VK-G has a wide range of applications. It is the appropriate inspection system for reliable quality assurance where bottles, cans or similar containers are packed in cartons. The system is also suitable for shrink-wrap packagings. |
| INSPECTION FEATURES |
 inspection of completely packed cartons or crates |
| empty carton inspection after the unpacker |
| missing bottles or cans inspection |
| inspection if broken bottles |
| rough fill level inspection of bottles and cans inside the closed cartons |
