STRATEC CL-O (2G)
Compact System for Quality Inspection on the Conveyor for Glass, PET and Canning Lines
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
BBULL COMPACT LINE systems have been proven for many years as
quality inspection systems in production lines all over the world. The reliability
and simplicity of the systems in connection with minimum
installation
requirements and an outstanding cost/benefit relation have made BBULL
COMPACT LINE one of the most used inspection systems in the
beverage industry.
With the systems of the 2. generation, BBULL has
adapted
the proven
concept to current technical requirements and
possibilities.
For data processing and control, latest 32-bit processors
allow
improved
processing with optimized performance and
extended
features.
The big
alphanumeric displays allow
also the
monitoring
of uni-code signs in
order to present
the counters in all relevant
languages (e.g. Cyrillic,
Chinese, …).
Operation is done by 6-key buttons and alternatively via
windows-
client by Ethernet connection.
Of course the BBULL COMPACT LINE systems provide
all
required interfaces for connection to and in the
customers
network
for data acquisition. Via intra- or
internet the systems
can be
operated and maintained by
remote which allows
savings in service
and maintenance.
During design of the systems all relevant direction has
been
considered to fulfil all requirements of the CE
conformity.

FILL LEVEL INSPECTION
BBULL offers the equipment of the COMPACT LINE systems alternative with gamma, X-ray or optical sensory.
The different technologies offer the same reliability and accuracy. The application is depending on technical and legal requirements. Thus projects need to be confirmed.
OPTICAL FILL LEVEL INSPECTION (BBULL CL-O)
The optical inspection principle is measuring the absorption of the light by water-based liquids. The applied light has the same wave-length as water-based liquids. Thus the light can even penetrate paper, plastic and glass, which allows the installation after labeler, or even the inspection of non-transparent containers.
Metallic packages and containers with metalized labels as well as strong foaming products are not suitable for the optical principle.
| FEATURES OF THE OPTICAL INSPECTION |
| universal application |
| for glass and PET lines |
| independent of shape, size and colour of the container |
| for water-based liquids |
installation after filler, pasteurizer and labeler
(no metallic foil or labels) |
| not suitable for intense foaming
products |
| no limitation for transport and storage |
| no waste disposal |
| no legal requirements |
