• Level inspection
• Cap inspection

This capping control system by E2M COUTH is ready to adapt and comply with quality standards and production processes in a wide range of industries. Its innovative technology makes it ideal for sectors that require absolute precision and strict capping control with artificial vision.

Beverage sector

In the competitive beverage sector, capping integrity is essential to preserve the product and for customer satisfaction. Our machine is used for 360 bottle capping control. Its ability to detect capping defects guarantees the container’s leak-tightness and quality.

Pharma-cosmetic sector

Precision, safety, and hygiene are crucial factors in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sector. Contourcap offers total cap inspection with artificial vision that complies with the stringent quality and safety standards required in producing medications, creams, lotions, and other health and care products. This technology ensures that the containers are perfectly sealed, protecting the integrity of the content, keeping it effective, and guaranteeing consumer safety.

Chemical sector

The chemical sector has unique packaging challenges given the delicate nature of its products. Contourcap is essential to guarantee that the caps of chemical product containers, like detergents, cleaning products, and industrial substances are properly applied. This means that E2M COUTH helps companies in the sector to prevent leaks and guarantee safety during transport and storage, complying with all regulations, both environmental and safety.

Our system to detect capping defects stands out with its ability to perform detailed and precise inspections, which is fundamental to guarantee the quality of the end product on the production line. The most noteworthy inspections performed by this machine from E2M COUTH include capping and fill inspection, which are both adapted to comply with specific quality and safety requirements.

Cap inspection

Cap inspection is crucial to guarantee leak-tightness and proper cap application. This inspection is important to prevent leaks, contamination, and other issues that can affect the quality of the product or consumer safety. This process verifies:

  • Correct positioning: Ensures that the cap is correctly aligned and applied.
  • Cap integrity: Detects all damage to the cap that could compromise the seal, such as: broken bridges, superficial cap defects, defects in safety closures for caps with and without hinges, and traceability.
  • Cap presence: Confirms that each container is effectively sealed with its matching cap.
  • Correct cap type: Verifies that the type of cap used is appropriate for each specific container.

Level inspection

Level inspection complements capping inspection, since it guarantees that each container contains the right amount of product. This process is vital for:

  • Regulatory compliance: Ensures that the products comply with net content standards and regulations.
  • Product consistency: Guarantees uniformity in the amount of product in each container, inspecting the objective, minimum, and maximum fill level.
  • Production optimisation: Helps to identify problems in the fill process, providing adjustments to maximise efficiency and reduce waste.

Performing both cap and fill level inspection is essential for the highest quality standards, regulatory compliance, and customer satisfaction. Contourcap’s advanced technology performs both processes efficiently and precisely, reinforcing trust in the integrity of the company and its products.

This machine by E2M COUTH has a long list of characteristics that solidify it as the best option if you want a high quality, precise cap defect detection service. Some of the most representative characteristics are:

  • High-performance production, up to 90,000 BPH..
  • Exclusive tools to control each kind of cap, including the tethered cap.
  • Easy installation on existing belt or in the filler.
  • Fast and easy format change.
  • Robust, compact, and resistant design.
  • Minimum maintenance.
  • Scalable configuration.
  • High precision (low false rejection).
  • MES or ERP connectivity.
  • Real-time inspection behaviour data and graphs.
  • Module with inspection reports and fill/capping monitoring graphs.
  • User level software configuration.

Having the E2M COUTH cap control system provides different advantages for companies during the process:

  • Reduced flaws: Reduces product waste due to cap defects to a minimum.
  • Increased productivity: Exponentially improves the efficiency of the production line, since it reduces interruptions for manual inspections.
  • Quality guarantee: Ensures that each product meets required safety and quality standards.
  • Customer satisfaction: Reinforces consumer trust in the brand by guaranteeing product integrity at all times.
  • Versatility: Its different characteristics and functions mean that Contourcap can offer quality services in diverse sectors, like we saw before.
  • Easy integration: Compatible with different production lines, with no need for large modifications within the business structure.

Cap inspection is very important in different industries to ensure product quality and safety. In the food and pharmaceutical sector, for example, cap inspection guarantees that the products are not contaminated, preserving their freshness and effectiveness. A cap that is in poor condition or improperly placed can lead to the entry of air, moisture, or contaminants, compromising the quality of the content and jeopardising the consumer’s health.

Moreover, cap inspection is essential to fulfil the safety and quality standards required by regulatory authorities. An automated inspection system detects defects like cracks, deformations, and malformations, ensuring that only products that meet standards are sold. This not only protects consumer health, but also preserves the brand’s reputation and reduces costs associated with recalling defective products from the market. In short, cap inspection is a fundamental aspect to guarantee quality, safety, and regulatory compliance in industrial production.

E2M COUTH’S Contourcap system is the perfect solution to guarantee quality in the capping process in sectors like the beverage, chemical product, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. With its advanced total cap inspection technology with artificial vision, this system guarantees precise capping control, detecting any flaws that could affect the product’s quality.

Contourcap mainly conducts two kinds of inspection: fill inspection and cap inspection. Fill inspection verifies that the containers’ contents meet established levels, while cap inspection guarantees the contents’ quality, identifying possible issues like incorrect capping or deformations that could lead to leaks.

This system was designed to adapt to the specific needs of the beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors, optimising production processes and reducing the risk of rejection or reworking. With Contourcap, you improve efficiency and decrease costs, all while ensuring the end product’s quality and safety, complying with the most demanding quality standards.
