The STRATEC KEG Inspection System checks kegs after the filling process for a correct fill level by means of gamma technology. The use of gamma rays is necessary in order to have enough energy for penetrating the wide diameters of beer kegs.
This technology allows a resolution of 5-8 mm that covers the complete range for fill level inspection of kegs.
The inspection bridge (with the gamma source) is installed on the conveyor and
checks passing kegs sidewise, similar to fill level inspection of standard containers.
The recorded data is transmitted to the STRATEC PC-400 for evaluation.
The operation of the control unit is easy and comfortable.
In case of a wrong fill level the system triggers a potential free 24 V error signal
that can be variably processed.

During the measurement the container is irradiated with gamma rays. According
to the particular fill level a different amount of energy is absorbed.
Consequently the fill level can be exactly defined.
If there is a wrong fill level the inspection system triggers an error signal for
various subsequent processing e.g. rejection, stop signal...
