Univision PROINSPECT Machine at Drinktec for the first time
The company will showcase its expertise in optical inspection solutions specifically tailored for beverage closures, with a particular focus on water bottle caps. This event offers a strategic opportunity to cement Univision’s position in the industry and demonstrate cutting-edge technologies live to both plant builders and end producers.
While Univision's machine begin with a standard and robust foundation, they differentiate themselves through extensive customization capabilities and multi‑format support, allowing different products to run on the same line. This flexibility is an hallmark and what the company sets apart in the sector. The goal is to present the full product portfolio to an international audience comprising both original equipment manufacturers and final-closure producers, who can see the machines first‑hand and evaluate the technological offering in the caps segment.
Univision PROINSPECT™ machine
The machine featured at the event is an inspection system for water bottle caps; Univision is, among the market, leader in this specific segment. Specifically, it is a dual conveyor model equipped with a Star wheel system for automatic separation of caps before inspection. This solution has evolved over the years to optimally handle changing cap designs, especially rapid changes in water cap formats. This dual conveyor offers a complete 360° view of the closure/cap using cameras both above and below - an essential element given the complexity of modern water cap designs and tethered closures. Precision and positive handling is achieved using vacuum conveyor belts, ensuring speed, precision, and stability in the positioning of the pieces. This configuration allows multi-format cap management with a quick and flexible conversion kit.
The real strength of the machine lies in the Proinspect software: a proprietary inspection platform equipped with AI algorithms capable of detecting anomalies with high reliability
