Visiocanend is a fundamental tool in the food industry, where seal control for metal containers is crucial to guarantee the product’s safety and to preserve quality.

Seal control for tins is vital for food safety, since a defective seal can allow bacteria and other contaminants to enter, compromising both the quality of the product and the consumer’s health. Products such as tinned fruits, vegetables, meats, and fish depend on a leak-tight seal to remain fresh and comply with health regulations. Visiocanend ensures that each container is perfectly sealed, reducing the risk of contamination and prolonging the lifespan of the food.

Visiocanend is designed to conduct a series of thorough inspections to guarantee that the metal containers are properly sealed and meet the highest quality standards. Some of the system’s most noteworthy inspections include:

  • Seal inspection: With its advanced artificial vision technology, Visiocanend detects all visual defects in the container’s seal. This includes dents, deformations, or flaws in the seal that could jeopardise the product’s integrity.
  • Body defects: Visiocanend can detect errors in the body of tins, such as blows or breakage.
  • Top defects: It can also inspect the top part of the tin and identify flaws in the ring, seal, or mark printing.

Visiocanend provides a series of competitive advantages that make this system perfect to control metal container seals. Some of the main advantages include:

  • Total process automation: With its advanced technology, Visiocanend can easily integrate into any automated production line, ensuring a continuous flow in inspection without interruption.
  • High precision in defect detection: Artificial vision technology guarantees that no defect goes unnoticed. Whether a small dent or a more serious flaw in the seal, the system precisely detects it.
