Successful operation, Quality and Production, of all the PET Bottling Lines requires PET bottles exempt by deformations which can damage the Filler Machine parts, straight bottles without holes nor objects into, with a perfect sealing area, etc. Looking the worldwide scenario, these conditions are met only by a small porcentage of all of the PET Bottling Lines. all PET Bottling Lines have at least one Full Bottle Inspector at the Filler Machine out feed but nearly no one has a PET Empty Bottle Inspector before the Filler Machine

Pressco® Intellipec™ technology versus Krones® AG PET-View™ technology.
Opposite points of view regarding what is the optimal environment for the Optoelectronics of the PET Empty Bottle Inspector. Visibly, the Pressco® concept favours a place (2000 - 3000)mm far from the Blowers central carousel. A place nearly immune by the grease, oil and plastic fragments out feeding the high-pressured fast rotating moulds. On the opposite, Krones® AG PET-View™ technology is placed in that area extremely prone to false-rejects. An area lying only (200 - 300)mm far from the moulds’ carousel. What is the best design? Pressco's design fronts the problem of bottles’ extremely speed (< 4.2 m/s), meaning critical triggering due to short signals and little of time to freeze bottles’ images. Krones’ design, implicitly immune by these bottle’s speed issue, let cameras, bottles’ illuminators and related glass protective panes operate in the worst thinkable place existing in the entire Blowformer Machine. No Optoelectronics is today intelligent enough to discriminate what is a small fragment of plastic or grease into a frozen image by what is a small fragment of plastic or grease into a bottle. Meaning they both have to be rejected.
