Accutek Packaging Equipment Co.
The Accutek Inspection-Rejection Station system is designed to perform comprehensive inspections on various aspects of product packaging. It utilizes advanced technology to detect and reject containers that do not meet specific criteria. The system checks the orientation of containers to ensure they are positioned correctly, identifying and rejecting containers that are upside down or not aligned properly. The system also verifies the fill levels in containers, ensuring they meet the required standards, detecting overfilled or underfilled containers and reject them accordingly. Other applications include metal or contaminants in the product, whereby Accutek's system employs sensors or imaging technology to identify the presence of metallic objects, contaminants or foreign substances in the product. The system also examines the placement and alignment of caps on containers for skewed caps, missing caps, missing foil liners, crooked or missing labels.
