MACHINE DESCRIPTION:

Inspection table is equipment consisting of a three-track conveyor with a hood with lighting arrangement and visual inspection background of alternate black & white color. Inspection table have stainless steel structure with moving SS slat chain. Structure made out of SS square pipe & supported on adjustable bolts.

Process:

The central conveyor belt brings the bottle from the capping machine conveyor. These bottles are automatically separated on the two adjoining conveyor belts & further on the side tables for operators sitting on either side of the table. The operators in turn pick up the bottles & visually inspect the bottles in the alternate white & black background to check for any partials in the liquid filled, sealed & breakage of bottle. After inspection the bottles are placed in the central track, which is transfer for labeling or any other operation.
