The heart of every bottling line is without doubt the filler/labeller area. The output of the filler and labeller dictates the performance of the whole bottling line.
This area is also a point where a combination of highly sophisticated
mechanical and electronic processes take place, and this at a very high
production speed.
Down times with a prolonged search for the cause of break downs in this
intricate high-speed zone can cost a great deal of time and consequently a
lot of money.
This is especially true in the adjustment phase where the error rate is
extremely high.
A reduction of down times and consequently a financial saving is possible
with a modern electronic filler and/or labeller monitoring system.

This system must fulfil the following requirements:
quality inspection of the finished bottles/cans/      containers and an immediate rejection      of the faulty ones.		clear statistics graphics about production data and      sources of errors to realize an effective control of the      installation and reliable preventive maintenance.
an immediate stop of the production machine in the      case of sequential errors.		easy handling and the possibility of printing the      results or communicating with a host network.
a reliable indication of the source of errors, combined      with a machine stop on an easily accessible      repair position		trouble free operation.
BBULL TECHNOLOGY offers with the new BBULL series a functionally graduated product range, which offers for any existing filler and/or labeller a turnkey electronic monitoring system. From our series of 8 control units the appropriate combination of inspection functions according to any special requirements can be selected.

The complete system consists of a central control unit and the necessary sensor bridges/sensors.
This control unit is installed near to the production machine (labeller) with easy access to the operating panel.
Menu assisted operation and an extensive self-diagnosis feature guarantees easy operation and high reliability.
The necessary inspection function is activated or disabled at the push of a button.
The sensor bridge/sensoric are installed inside the production machine.
Through an interface the control unit is linked to the production machine so as to perform the defined stops in the case of sequential faults.
Depending on the requirements of the user the different systems can be equipped with a printer or an interface to communicate with a host network.

APPLICATION
filler and/or labeller monitoring mainly in the beverage      and food industry.		appropriate for all kind of high-speed filling processes      independent of the colour or material of the bottles/      cans or similar containers.
reliable quality inspection in all kind of filling and/or      labelling processes.

MONITORING FEATURES FILLER
fill level inspection (underfill) optional according to gamma      detection principle, HF-principle or optical principle		automatic stop of the defective filling valve on      determined repair position (in case of sequential fault)
fill level inspection (overfill) optional accorrding to gamma     detection principle, HF-principle or optical principle		detection and rejection of broken bottles and their      neighbouring position
filling valve monitoring with fault statistics		quality check filler (rejection for service/sampling)

MONITORING FEATURES CLOSER
missing cap inspection (metallic, non metallic)		tilted screw-type cap inspection (bottles)

SERVICE FEATURES
maschine-stop in case of sequential fault      (filler, labeller, closer)		counter for total number and number of bottles/      cans rejected
control of the rejection unit. Transition of the fault bottles/      cans to the rejection unit
