Finding Glass Shards in Glass Containers

Glass packaging’s advantages are persuasive – recyclable, inert, highly valued by consumers. However, packaging products in glass risks introduction of glass shards or other breakages into the container – contaminating product and compromising safety. How do you reap the rewards of glass while mitigating risks?

Reliable, Next Generation Glass Detection

Peco InspX designs advanced X-ray inspection systems to detect glass shards inside of glass containers – the key is automated, multi-beam technology.

During manufacturing, cracked glass containers can create shards that fall inside the product.  Glass shards and glass containers have the same material density – other inspection systems might not detect the difference.

Asymmetric shards include one dimension which is often very narrow and difficult to detect.  Peco InspX multi-beam X-ray systems find virtually all glass fragments inside glass containers.  Multi-beam systems inspect from multiple angles at once to find asymmetric shards.
