In
modern canning plants, where can quality is a prime concern, can inspectors
which check for can defects are required prior to filling. For these situations
Ling Systems offers the can inspection vacuum belt conveyor as a system to
enable can inspection units to be fitted into the line prior to filling. The
can inspector is simply bolted to the conveyor along with a reject unit to
remove unwanted cans. To allow for accurate rejecting of the cans provision
is made to fit an encoder to the belt drive shaft. Can inspectors normally
run at speeds up to 1600 cans per minute on a single lane and for speeds above
this two inspection units are normally required.
