The HEUFT SX sorting unit with the HEUFT XY rejector for distributing containers onto the corresponding lanes

HEUFT SX

bottle sorting unit

One thing is decisive for the efficiency of a returnable filling line: that only that enters which is allowed to. The efficiency of the complete line is affected if there is a mixed supply of empty glass / PET bottles. The HEUFT SX puts things right. The bottle sorting unit examines returnable containers closely and only allows those to flow into production which should be there.

FUNCTIONS

• checking the bottle height and shape
• brightness and colour check
• compensation of container variations in brightness, colour and thickness
• the detection of UV coating
• finish and closure check
• differentiating between glass and PET bottles

THE ADVANTAGES

• separation of glass and PET using an optical detection
• clear detection of the container and finish shape despite flagging labels, tamper evident rings or drinking straws
• compensation of container variations in brightness, colour and thickness
• in focus pictures even at high speeds due to LED strobes
• optimal result as regards the sorting procedure due to the combined evaluation of all the measurements by means of fuzzy logic
• several brands processed with one mechanical adjustment
• convenient operating using the multilingual HEUFT PILOT surface
• integrated future-proof network interface (Industrial Ethernet, TCP/IP)
• remote service connection via the Internet
