Cantronic
Quality control for beverage cans
Twice as safe and thrice as quick
If you see 33 cans whizzing past you every second, you can lose track of what's going on. This does not apply to the Cantronic. The can
inspector detects even the most minute dirt or deformation at this speed. Both the cans and the machine benefit from such thoroughness:
The cans, because they reach the point of sale at their best possible quality, and the machines because there are no malfunctions caused by
faulty cans.

irregularities. The additional camera unit enables you to even detect creases
and dirt in the neck area which are very hard to find.
High degree of operational reliability
High line efficiency The Cantronic automatically rejects fallen-over containers and features a
continuous self-monitoring function. Malfunctions and faulty operations are
thereby prevented from the very beginning.
Damaged or deformed cans pose a significant safety risk to the filling line which
may result in machine standstills and even machine damage. The Cantronic
sorts out all those "risky" cans thus increasing the overall line efficiency by
approximately 5 %.
