CapWatcher FC

The system conducts a splash-proofed quality control of the filled end product. Its Washdown Design is perfectly adjusted to the challenges in the wet area of the filling line.

Splash-proofed quality control of the filled end product

The INTRAVIS Washdown Design, the application angle inspection, and the fill level verification are only a few of the many technological innovations the CapWatcher FC combines in one inspection system. With the CapWatcher FC, we complete our comprehensive product portfolio in terms of closure quality control, not only before but also after the filling and capping process.

With the splash-proofed Washdown Design, a new standard in the inspection technology could be set. The stainless-steel housing prevents corrosion, and the particularly durable blue sealings are resistant against fluids and standard cleaning processes on the market. Thus, our customers’ hygienic demands can be entirely met.

Application angle inspection &
filler capper tracking

It is of great importance that only correctly sealed and accurately applied closures find their way to the end consumers. The CapWatcher FC ensures this with the high-precision application angle inspection which determines the relative angular position of a barely perceptible mark on the bottle to a mark on the closure.

The system does not only verify the fill level to give certainty about the completion of the filling process but also correlates inspection results with the filler and capper stations. Thus, our customers receive process feedback and achieve a more efficient and economical production process in the sense of Industry 4.0.
