Vacuum Conveyors for Empty Can Inspectors

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 Compere Ling 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.
