Linatronic 774-X

Smart and reliable full container inspection


See what remains hidden from the cameras

Even if the containers rush past close together: The Linatronic 774-X always keeps track. With its imaging X-ray technology, it can see through
even opaque containers and liquids – and detect things that conventional camera systems cannot find. Sounds very expensive? Quite the
contrary: The Linatronic 774-X combines high product reliability with low investment and operating costs.

At a glance

− Inspection of the container base with imaging X-ray technology


− Suitable for transparent and opaque products/containers:
− beer, water carbonated soft drinks and juice drinks
− Glass bottles, cans, PET containers – with and without labels
− Can be used both after the capper and the labeller
− Use of standard transport chains (metal or plastic) at the infeed
and discharge for easy integration in the line
− Rejection with Ecopush or Ecoslider Pro

2 Linatronic 774-X
Technical features

The core elements for the imaging process are the two X-ray generators and line
cameras. For an optimum inspection result, the latter are arranged on both sides
of the conveyor (left and right).
− 360° inspection of the container base
− Output: 10 to 120 metres per minute
− During the inspection: Minimum container clearance of approx. 2 millimetres
sufficient
− Plastic chain with a width of 300 millimetres in the inspection area

Shared rejection
In lines where the containers are inspected after both filling and
labelling, the faulty containers can be tracked and
rejected together.

Inspection result

The Linatronic 774-X detects the following on the container base:


- Foreign objects
- Glass and metal
Note: Container bases with major fluctuations can influence the
inspection result.

Test container program

Is the inspector working as precisely as it should? The test container program provides a clear answer to this question. For the method of
operation of the individual inspection units is put to the test using test containers containing faults.

Technology used

− Multifunctional test containers


− Reflective strips with 2D code

Method of operation

− Display and automatic call according to number of containers or time


− Results display after successful/unsuccessful through passage
− Automatic storage of all passes with time and date

Benefits to you

− Very high product safety


− Easy, inexpensive test container manufacture
